Old Rivals, New Fight
It's biggest rival will arrive in 2027 in the form of the BMW iX3 SUV. This is BMW’s mid-size competitor offering similar specs, features, interior space, and presence. Like the GLC electric, we expect BMW to locally assemble the iX3, and its launch will ignite a new fight between both manufacturers in a previously nonexistent segment of the Indian car market. The automaker has already got over 1,000 bookings, and the car is sold out till March 2027. Deliveries begin today.
