BMW treats for the New Year
BMW XM
Unveiled at Joytown Delhi, this M-series comes from BMW’s outstanding motorsports heritage, combining motor-racing functionality with a sporty aesthetic appeal. It is the company’s flagship SUV in India. The BMW XM is the first plug-in hybrid version of the series, with a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with an electric motor, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
BMW M340i Facelift
Also launched at the event, this will be the first-ever BMW car with an M engine that will be made in India. M340i Facelift is the updated version of the top-of-the-line 3 Series.
BMW i7
Set to be launched in January 2023, it will be the Bavarian carmaker’s flagship electric sedan in the Indian market. The car’s top-spec xDrive 60 variant has a 101.7 kWh battery pack offering a range of 624 km per charge, one of the top ranges in India.
New-gen BMW X1
This is the automaker’s new-generation version of its entry-level SUV, X1. This third-gen luxury compact SUV is slightly larger than its precursor, with a boxier design accompanied by a larger iteration of BMW’s signature kidney grille. The new design gives this new-gen X1 a sportier and more muscular look. It also delivers more power thanks to its turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
BMW X7 Facelift
The BMW X7 Facelift is the flagship three-row SUV of the automotive giant. Apart from the redesigned front fascia, and BMW’s latest curved infotainment system, it will have a host of new features. The car will be available in both petrol and diesel variants.
New-gen BMW 7 Series
This will be the seventh-gen avatar of the 7 Series, with a contemporary design, hi-tech features, and many more upgrades. It is expected to be offered in both the petrol and diesel variants, along with the plug-in-hybrid petrol motor.
BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine
This will be the last launch in January 2023 and will be the latest version of the BMW 3 Series Gran Limo Facelift, which was launched worldwide in May 2022. Apart from the design tweaks and new features, it will have its predecessor’s 2.0-liter petrol and diesel engine options with an 8-speed auto transmission. Apart from the redesigned headlamps, kidney grille and bumpers, the biggest change is the 3.0-liter, 6-cylinder turbo-petrol engine paired with a 48V mild-hybrid system. It can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in a whopping 4.4 seconds.
With so many BMW cars set to be launched in 2023, the upcoming year is surely going to be exciting!
