BMW 3 Series
Renewed in 2019, the 3 Series range is simplified with the departure of the five-door Gran Turismo and the Touring wagon. However, the sedan boasts several powertrains producing between 248 and 382 horsepower, including a plug-in hybrid that should appear in 2020. A choice of leather upholsteries and wood trim is on offer to personalise the car’s cockpit, and a slew of comfort, convenience and advanced safety features are also available.
