BMW Group Australia is set to expand its 3 Series model line-up with a new introduction.
The new 3 Series Touring will go on sale in Australia from October 2019 and is being released 32 years from the debut of the first BMW 3 Series Touring.
The sixth and latest generation is equipped with enhanced practicality, new interior and exterior design features, and driver assistant technologies.
An upgraded powertrain and new chassis technology are included in the Touring.
The Touring differentiates from the previous models in terms of design and compared to the predecessor, the Touring has a 76mm increase in length, 16mm increase in width and 8mm increase in height. The rear window is 20mm wider and exhaust pipes are 90mm in diameter – giving it a widened sporting stance.
More shoulder room for the driver and front passenger, extra head room and an increase of 11mm of leg room for rear passengers have been added.
It boasts a 2.0L four-cylinda turbocharged engine that produces 190 kW of power between 5000 and 6500 rpm and 400Nm of torque between 1550 to 4400rpm – a five kW and 50Nm of torque increase from its predecessor.
The new Touring incorporates a family-oriented focus, with rear seats able to fit two child seats and an optional panoramic glass roof.
The new Touring is priced at $73,900.
