BMW has announced that its flagship X7 SUV will be sold in the Manipal market from July 2026, with an on‑road price of ₹1.55 crore. This marks the brand’s latest entry into the high‑end segment for the city’s discerning buyers.
The decision to set the price at such a premium follows increased interest in luxury SUVs across Karnataka, especially in economically vibrant towns like Manipal and neighboring Udupi. The X7, known for its spacious interior, advanced safety features and robust performance, is positioned to compete with rivals such as the Audi Q7 and Mercedes‑E Q Series.
For local consumers, the new price point means a greater investment in a premium vehicle that can cater to both executive commuting and family outings. The launch is also expected to boost local dealership sales and create ancillary economic benefits for the region. Source: Google News – Manipal.
