The BMW 3 Series is one of the most popular compact luxury
sedans in the world. The 3 Series offers a great blend of driving
performance and luxury. BMW launched the 3 Series sedan in 1982, seven
generations since the 3 Series remains one of the best-selling luxury
cars in the world. The latest generation was globally introduced in March
earlier this year. Today, BMW India has launched the latest-generation 3
Series sedan for the Indian market.
The new 3 Series
is built on BMW’s Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform shared with the
larger 5, 7 Series sedans. This latest-gen 3 Series is larger and
lighter than the car it replaces. The overall design of the new car remains unchanged,
BMW’s signature kidney grille just keeps on getting bigger and bigger! At the front, the new 3 Series gets L-shaped LED headlights instead of the round ones
we are accustomed to seeing. At the rear, the tail lamps get a new rectangular
design which adds to the bold and athletic appeal of the 3 Series. Step
inside and you will be welcomed by a familiar BMW cabin. The cabin design is like
other BMW cars such as the latest X5 and X7, which is great!
Though the new 3 Series has grown larger, space inside is relatively
the same as the previous model. BMW has made practical changes such as the addition
of storage spaces and providing an option of split seats for the rear. Being a
luxury car, the 3 Series comes with all the bells and whistles you could
ask for. The new 3 comes with 2 touchscreen options – an 8.8-inch (for
the 320d Sport) and a 10.25-inch (for the 330d Luxury & 330i
M Sport) both these can be controlled by the iDrive system via the
rotary dial, voice control, gestures, and touchscreen. Other features include –
electric sunroof, 3-zone climate control, digital instrument cluster etc. The new
3 Series is powered by 2.0 L turbocharged petrol and diesel engines both
of which are mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
The BMW 3 Series
will rival the likes of Mercedes-Benz C Class, Audi A4,
Jaguar XE. With prices starting at Rs.41.40 lakh onwards, this segment
is an interesting one to watch out for.
