最近谍照记者拍到了新一代宝马3系旅行车照片。虽然该车进行了重度伪装，但仔细看可以发现，新车采用了细窄且锐利的大灯，内部是方正的LED灯泡，让人联想起该车经典的四眼大灯造型。旅行车的前脸与轿车版一样。新车最大变化是进一步延长的车顶，从而形成更大储物容积，但这样的设计失分之处是外观显得笨拙。在内装方面，新车配备了数字仪表群，从其配备的油量表就可以判断，该车搭载了一台柴油引擎。中控台顶部设置了一台尺寸更宽的信息娱乐系统显示屏。显示屏下面是空调控制键。中控台底部是排挡杆，信息娱乐系统控制键和驾驶模式选择以及驾驶员辅助系统控制旋钮。新车重量比老款车降低55公斤，同时宽度略微增加，重心降低10毫米。由于采用新平台，因此车身刚性也获得提升。至于动力系统，宝马承诺新一代3系将搭载动力最强四缸引擎，其燃油经济性也比现行版搭载的汽油引擎提升5%。宝马有意在今年10月开幕的巴黎车展发布3系轿车，但目前还不清楚车厂是否准备同时发布其旅行车版本。不过由于宝马一向不同时发布不同车身类型的新车，因此同时发布的可能性不大。

 

Next BMW 3 Series Spied Showing Its More Bountiful Rear End

Hot on the heels of new information about the next-gen BMW 3 Series dropping, here is a great look at the wagon variant of the German brand's popular model. There are even great shots of the cabin.

 

The exterior of this wagon still wears rather heavy camouflage, but the close perspective provides a good look at what BMW is trying to hide. A notable design element is the narrow, angular headlights that feature boxy LEDs that evoke the four-lamp setup from classic models. The front fascia on this one looks identical to the piece on the sedan. Obviously, the biggest change here is the extended roof that creates a larger cargo area, with the only downside being a slightly stodgier appearance.

 

On the inside, there's a digital instrument panel, and this one apparently has a diesel engine, given the message on the fuel gauge. A wide infotainment screen sits on top of the center stack. Switches for controlling the HVAC system are underneath the display. The center console is home for the gearshift, infotainment controller, and buttons for toggling driving modes and driver assistance systems.

 

Mechanically, the new 3 Series weighs 121 pounds (55 kilograms) less than the current model. It's also slightly wider, and the center of gravity drops 0.4 inches (10 millimeters). Switching to a new platform allows for a boost in body rigidity, too. In terms of the engine range, BMW promises that the new 3 Series gets the most powerful four-cylinder engine ever for one of its production vehicles. Fuel economy improves by five percent over the existing gasoline-fueled mill, too.

 

BMW intends to unveil the 3 Series sedan at the Paris Motor Show in October, but it's not clear yet whether the company would premiere the wagon at the same time. A debut there seems unlikely, though, because automakers generally tend to stagger the launch of different body styles.
