The 2014 BMW 328 Sedan made its debut at the 2013 New York International Auto Show, ushering in the next wave of BMW Advanced Diesel models in the US.
The new 328 Sedan will be powered by BMW’s 2.0-liter TwinPower diesel 4-cylinder engine producing 180 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, available from 1,750 rpm. It will be mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. It will accelerate from 0 – 60 mph in just over 7 seconds. Preliminary highway fuel economy estimates are expected to be 45 mpg.
The 328d Sedan will be available in rear wheel drive and also with xDrive, the BMW’s advanced all-wheel drive system. The sedans will be joined by the 328d xDrive Sports Wagon.
Levels of performance and luxury expected of any BMW 3 Series will be ensured with levels of standard equipment on par with the 328i gasoline models. The options list will include Luxury, Sport and Modern Lines as well as M Sport.
Detailed specifications and pricing will be available closer to launch in fall this year.
