Our verdict

These two split the decision: the BMW X1 is रु 32,04,000 cheaper ex-showroom (16.9%), while the Toyota Fortuner is ahead on dealer and service reach — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the BMW X1 if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
Choose the Toyota Fortuner if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 44 more service centres in Nepal (45 vs 1); 42 more showrooms in Nepal (49 vs 7).

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
