This makes it priced on par with its diesel sibling despite being a CBU.ĭoes it make sense over the diesel? While the 328i was the enthusiasts' choice, the 320i isn't.
While the Prestige trim is priced at Rs 36.9 lakh, the Luxury Line can be yours for Rs 42.7 lakh, ex-showroom, pan India. The two trim levels offer quite a few features the latter as you see here gets additional comfort features. It combines the smart design and impressive dynamics of the 3 Series with an efficient yet powerful engine. While we still miss the 328i, the 320i is the only petrol 3 Series on sale in India. This translates to an overall figure of 11.35kmpl.
In town the 320i returns 9.7kmpl and a higher 16.3kmpl on the highway. This is a positive when it comes to drivability, but gone is that eager and ready to pounce character.įuel efficiency is respectable for a 2.0-litre petrol. The turbo spike is missing and it actually feels more like a naturally aspirated unit. However, from behind the wheel, the car doesn't feel as eager. However, it will cross the 100kmph mark in 7.8s this makes it quicker than the Mercedes C 200 and only 1.3 seconds slower to the bonkers 328i. On the road, it comes nowhere close to matching the 328i's performance. While we love the 328i, thanks to its more powerful 245PS petrol motor, the 320i is still quite a performer on paper. It's not a very addictive note but can still keep the driver engaged.
It's only when you give it the beans that the motor makes itself heard. At idle as well as slower moving speeds, the engine is barely audible. It is a very refined unit and the most silent 3 Series we've come across so far. To give you a better understanding, the Mercedes-Benz C 200 produces almost the same power but more torque (183PS and 300Nm). This makes it as powerful as its closest competitor. The 2.0-litre, four-cylinder engine produces 184PS and 270Nm of peak torque. Unlike the 320i offered before the previous generation 3 Series, the current model gets a turbocharged motor that is claimed to be a lot more powerful and at the same time more efficient. The car gets the latest-generation petrol engine part of the BMW TwinPower range. The major highlight in the 320i is its motor. There is no Sport trim like in the other 3 Series models. There are two trims on offer - Prestige and Luxury Line. The car doesn't get any styling updates from before it's a smart and sporty design.
BMW India hasn't stopped from offering further updates - the latest being the addition of a new variant, the 320i. It's been around for a while now, but regular cosmetic and feature updates make it a sensible choice even today. The 3 Series is a popular sedan from BMW, and you see quite a lot of them on Indian roads.
