A comparable petrol car costs ₹89,075/year in servicing — that's ₹48,355 more annually.
Insurance for the BMW iX1 LWB is approximately ₹1,78,150 per year. While slightly higher than petrol equivalents due to higher vehicle value, the massive fuel and maintenance savings more than compensate. Over 5 years, total running cost savings with the BMW iX1 LWB exceed ₹6.74 L.
