BMW and Mini Cars to Get Costlier by up to 3% From April

The prices of BMW and Mini cars in India will increase by up to 3% from April 1, 2025. BMW Group India has not disclosed specific reasons; however, industry reports indicate that the upcoming price hike is likely due to rising operational costs—a factor many manufacturers cite for planned price increases across their models next month. BMW has announced that the price hike will affect all models, whether locally produced—such as the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe, 5 Series Long Wheelbase, X1, and M340i—or imported as completely built-up units (CBUs), including the BMW i4, i5, i7, iX, and M4 Competition. The Mini lineup in India, including the Cooper S and the all-electric Countryman, will also be subject to the increase.

In other news, BMW India expanded its portfolio last month with the launch of the new 3 Series Long Wheelbase (LWB) at an ex-showroom price of Rs 62.60 lakh. This model, manufactured locally at the company's Chennai facility, is currently available in a petrol configuration across all authorised dealerships. It features a palette of distinctive exterior colours, including M Carbon Black, Mineral White, Arctic Race Blue, and Skyscraper Grey. Notably, the introduction of a diesel variant is scheduled for a later phase.

Besides BMW, numerous carmakers in India announced price hikes in April. Let's briefly look at some of these manufacturers.

Following a period without price adjustments since 2023, Renault has now announced a price hike of up to 2% on its vehicles. The company attributes this decision to the increasing costs of inputs. Currently, Renault's lineup in India includes the Kiger, Kwid, and Triber.

Hyundai will also raise the prices of its models by up to 3%. This increase is a result of rising input costs, higher operational expenses, and increasing raw material costs. Following suit, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Mahindra, and Kia are some of the other manufacturers who will also be increasing their car prices starting next month.
