BMW to showcase new 3 Series, X1 and 7 Series at the Auto Expo 2016

BMW has recently released a teaser video of its new cars that they plan to debut at the Auto Expo 2016 that is to be held in the first week of February 2016 at Noida.

The video teases us showing the 2016 7 Series, 2016 X1 and the facelifted 3 Series which BMW plans to introduce in India later this year. BMW in the recent times has been losing quite a lot of its market share to its competition and with the new launches they are hoping to recover quite a few of that.

The all new 7 Series is the sixth generation and will be based on the rear-wheel drive CLAR (Cluster Architecture) modular platform. The all-new model was unveiled internationally in June 2015 with 3.0-litre TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder petrol engine, 3.0-litre TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder diesel engine and a 4.4-litre TwinPower Turbo V8 petrol engine. Both 3.0-litre petrol and diesel engines could be offered in India. An 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission will be standard.

The 2016 BMW X1 is the second generation of the German automaker’s entry-level crossover and is based on the front-wheel drive UKL (Untere Klasse) modular platform. It was announced in June last year with petrol and diesel engines with three- and four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines in 1.5- and 2.0-litre displacements.

The 2016 BMW 3 Series is the facelift of the sixth generation of the company’s Audi A4-rival. Along with the updated styling, the facelift introduced a new 3.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine that produces 326 PS and 450 Nm of torque. The turbocharger of the 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine of the BMW 320d has been updated for a ‘sharper’ response. The 8-speed automatic transmission has also been updated, for better fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions.
