After presenting the all-new 3-Series Sedan in Paris
earlier this month, BMW is extensively working on the Touring version. We’ll have to wait for the
2019 Geneva Motor Show, next March, according to an AutomobileMagazine report.
Just like its four-door sibling, the wagon will be
larger overall than the model it replaces. Moreover, it will offer better
interior space, thanks to the longer wheelbase and increased width and height. The interior layout and
technologies will be carried over from the G20, getting the same infotainment
system and digital instrument cluster, alongside the Intelligent Personal
Assistant and an assortment of trim details to choose from.
BMW’s 2020 3-Series Touring will also get a host of
driving assistance systems, as part of the standard Active Guard Plus package.
Among them, customers will find lane departure warning, collision and
pedestrian warning with automatic breaking, cruise control with braking
function and speed limit information.
Those opting for a bit more will have to select the
Driving Assistant Professional Package from the options list to get the
steering and lane control assistant, lane keeping assistant with active side
collision protection, active cruise control, priority warning, wrong-way
warning and cross-traffic alert.
The engine lineup will also be shared with the new
3-Series Sedan, and will include the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder unit,
in two outputs, with 184 PS and 258 PS, and a six-cylinder mill, rated at 387 PS. Diesels aren’t going anywhere
either, with the initial offering to include the 150 PS and
190 PS 2.0-liter, along with the 265 PS 3.0-liter units.
A full-blown M moniker will be kept away from the
new 3-Series Touring, so BMW won’t rival the likes of the Audi RS4 Avant and
Mercedes-AMG C63 Estate.
