The new BMW 320Li Luxury
Price: THB 2,469,000 (VAT incl. with BSI Standard Package)
The new BMW 320Li Luxury carries over the dynamic design and agile handling of the current-generation 3 Series and adds a stretched wheelbase that provides extra legroom for both the driver and passengers. The vehicle shares its extended vehicle dimensions with its predecessor, the BMW 330Li M Sport, with a length of 4,819 mm in length, 1,827 mm in width, and a height of 1,441 mm. With the rear doors now longer than the standard BMW 3 Series sedan by 110 mm, rear-seat passengers can access the interior more easily and enjoy greater comfort with an extra 43 mm of legroom.
The appearance of the new BMW 320Li Luxury still embodies the concept of the Ultimate Driving Machine but with a new design language, enhanced sporting prowess, improved driving dynamics, and trailblazing connectivity technology to better present the essence of the BMW brand. The unique BMW elements bear a more aggressive appearance with BMW kidney grille with exclusively designed vertical slats framed in Chrome and cross rod in High-gloss Black that link to the visually smaller interpretation of LED headlights. The Hofmeister kink – BMW’s unique window frame that is integrated into the C-pillar, gives the rear doors a “freestanding” glass edge while horizontal lines and the slim, stylishly light units housing L-shaped LED taillights, along with the twin-pipe exhaust system, give the rear a wide and athletic stance.
The new BMW 320Li Luxury is powered by 2.0 Litre BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder petrol engine which provides ample power with up to 135 kW / 184 hp at 5,000 – 6,500 rpm plus a peak torque of 300 Nm at 1,350 – 4,4000 rpm. This enables the car to accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 235 km/h. This engine is mated with an 8-speed Steptronic transmission, while the Driving Experience Control switch empowers the driver to choose joy on the road in their style from COMFORT, SPORT and ECO PRO driving modes.
The new BMW 320Li Luxury comes with 18-inch light alloy multi-spoke wheels in Bicolour with run-flat tyres. The Luxury Line exterior elements are accentuated with the front bumper, mirror foot, window guide and the rear bumper in High-gloss Chrome. The Panorama glass roof gives the driver and passengers a clear view of the sky while the HiFi loudspeaker system delivers cleaner sound at higher volumes, adding to the memorable experience traveling in this luxurious sedan. The interior design reflects similar elegant feeling with Sensatec instrument panel and trim finishers in Fine-Wood Trim Oak Grain Open-Pored with highlight trim finishers in Pearl Chrome.
For greater peace of mind, the new BMW 320Li Luxury is equipped with a range of safety and driver assistance systems, including Parking Assistant and Park Distance Control. A full range of connectivity features is supported by BMW Operating System 7.0 providing enhanced efficiency for BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant and Live Cockpit Professional. The long wheelbase vehicle also offers seamless connectivity through BMW ConnectedDrive which allow drivers to take control either through BMW Gesture control, voice commands, iDrive Controller, or 10.25-inch Control Display.
