I am looking at purchasing a new car with a budget of around Rs 60 lakh-70 lakh, on-road, Mumbai. I generally hold on to a car for five years, and I am always chauffeur driven; so back-seat comfort and ride quality are my priorities. My daily run is around 20-25km within the city.

Autocar India says: The BMW 330Li (long-wheelbase) is an excellent choice that fits most of your requirements while staying within your Rs 60 lakh-70 lakh (on-road, Mumbai) budget. Given that back seat comfort is a priority, this is where the 330Li truly excels.

With its extended wheelbase, the rear seat offers generous legroom, making it significantly more spacious than the standard 3 Series. The ride quality is plush, as BMW has tuned its latest models in India to prioritise comfort over outright sportiness, making it well-suited for Mumbai’s roads.

The 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is smooth, refined, and delivers strong performance, ensuring effortless city commutes while still being capable on the highway. Additionally, BMW's superior build quality, modern tech features, and premium interior add to its appeal for a luxurious, stress-free chauffeur-driven experience.

Given your daily usage of 20-25km within Mumbai, the BMW 330Li is one of the best sedan options in this price range.
