All-new Seventh-Generation BMW 3-Series To Be Launched On August 22

Following the world premiere at the Paris Motor Show held in 2018, the new-gen BMW 3-Series has been spotted on Indian roads multiple times for the running trials and homologation purpose. Now, BMW India has confirmed that the new luxury sedan will be launched in India on the 22nd of August, 2019.

BMW is gearing up for the introduction of the new-gen BMW 3-Series which is set for this August 22.

The seventh-generation BMW 3-Series is developed on the new, thoroughly modern CLAR platform which also underpins its 5-Series sibling. Thanks to the new platform, the new-gen 3-Series is sportier and bigger but 55 kg lighter than the previous-gen model. The new 3er now measures 4,709 mm long, 1,827 mm wide and 1,441 mm high, which is 76 mm longer, 16 mm wider, 1 mm higher in comparison with the outgoing version.

Though it sports quite a similar silhouette to its preceding version with its prominent signature big kidney grille, long hood and short boot, the new BMW 3-Series gets major tweaks in the exteriors and interiors department that reflect a fresher and more fashionable look. The sedan boasts new Adaptive LED supported by BMW Laserlight tech, a heavily-redesigned front bumper with revised fog lamps, newly-design, large 19-inch alloy wheels along with new L-shaped swooping LED tail lamps.

The next-gen 3-Series will get major updates both inside and out and come with two engine options under the bonnet.

Just like the outside, the interior of the new 3-Series has been massively updated to satisfy tech-savvy buyers, while retaining the classiness and craftsmanship that the 3-Series is known to offer. The new-gen 3-Series features the new BMW Live Cockpit Professional, which consists of a 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster, 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, AI-enabled system and voice recognition which is activated as soon as you say, “Hey BMW”.

The upcoming BMW 3-Series will come up with two engine options, namely a 258 PS/400Nm 2.0-litre petrol engine in the 330i variant and a 190 PS/ 400 Nm 2.0-litre diesel ill in the 320d. Both units will be available with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, which will be responsible for sending all that glorious power to the rear wheels.

Expect the price range of the 2019 BMW 3-Series to start around the INR 40 lakh (ex-showroom) mark.
