Our verdict

These two split the decision: the BMW X3 is रु 72,04,000 cheaper ex-showroom (27.7%), while the Toyota Land Cruiser 250 Prado is ahead on dealer and service reach and power — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the BMW X3 if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
Choose the Toyota Land Cruiser 250 Prado if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want the stronger powertrain for hill climbs and overtaking
  • you drive loaded, or climb steep gradients often

Measured: 44 more service centres in Nepal (45 vs 1); 17.4 PS more power; 200 Nm more torque.

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.
