₹11.5L for a scooter? What makes BMW's latest launch special
What's the story
BMW Motorrad has launched the 2025 iteration of its C 400 GT maxi-scooter in India. It comes at ₹11.5 lakh (ex-showroom), which is ₹25,000 more than its predecessor.
While the design of the new model hasn't changed much, it comes with a redesigned windscreen and a lower seat height for improved accessibility.
In India, imported vehicles are subject to significant import duties and taxes. This greatly increases the final price of the BMW C 400 GT.
