最近谍照记者拍到了下一代宝马3系的外观和高科技内装照片，可以看到车内配备了数字仪表群。新一代3系的车头看起来非常时尚。新车采用了新的拱形前大灯和中间大致矩形LED行驶灯，宝马经典的四个前大灯设计仍具现代感。与先前拍到的谍照不同，这辆测试车采用了更紧密的双肾格栅。这表明主动式进气格栅提升了3系的气动布局。前保险杠下面可以看到进一步扩大的水平横条和驾驶员辅助系统传感器。车身侧面可以看到3系的车鼻进一步向下倾斜，驾驶员一侧车门上的“混动测试车”贴纸表明该车搭载了混动系统。而车尾的尾灯组部分进行了遮盖，表明这部分进行了改款。这次谍照记者拍到了车辆内装照片，显示车内配备了数字仪表板。与下一代保时捷911一样，宝马也将传统模拟仪表和电子显示屏结合在一起。显示屏左侧显示速度表数字，而右侧显示转速。这个显示屏位于中间。新一代3系很有可能与5系和7系车一样采用CLAR平台。这些改变将进一步降低重量，提升引擎效率，预计新车燃油经济性将更突出。
Next-Gen BMW 3 Series Spied Showing Its Digital Instrument Panel
After bringing new generations of the 7 and 5 Series to the road, BMW is now closer than ever to replacing the 3 Series, too. These fresh spy photos provide another look at the exterior and show a high-tech cabin, complete with digital instruments.
The new 3 Series front end looks very stylish. The model gains new, arching headlights with roughly rectangular LEDs in the center. The styling evokes BMW’s classic quad lights while still being modern. Unlike previously spied examples, this test mule features a closed kidney grille. This could indicate active shutters for improving the 3 Series’ aerodynamics on the road. Further down the front end, horizontal slats span the fascia, and there’s a large sensor for the driver assistance tech.
If profile, it’s easier to see the 3 Series downward sloping nose. Also note the “Hybrid Test Vehicle” decal on this test mule for confirmation of its electrified powertrain. Considerable camouflage and coverings over the taillights conceal the changes at the rear.
These shots also provide a much better look at the bizarre layout of the 3 Series’ digital instrument panel. Like the next-gen Porsche 911, the BMW would mix traditional analog gauges and an electronic display. The numbers for the speedometer appear on the left side of the screen, and the tachometer has a similar setup on the right. The screen sits in the center.
The 3 Series would also move to the CLAR platform like the 5 and 7 Series. The change should contribute to cutting weight off the sedan. In combination with more efficient engines, the model should have a noticeable gain in fuel economy.
