BMW is going to expand its U.S. 3-Series lineup with the addition of a new, diesel-powered version. This model, called the 328d, will make its world debut at the 2013 New York International Auto Show on March 27th and will be put on sale in the first quarter of the year.
The 328d will be powered by a TwinPower turbocharged four-cylinder engine that delivers a total of 180 horsepower and a peak torque of 280 pound-feet. The model will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 7.2 seconds and deliver fuel economy of about 40 mpg (official EPA numbers will be released closer to the car’s launch). While the 40 mpg is pretty much standard for a smaller diesel engine, but the 7.2-second 0-to-60 time is pretty quick for a non-high-performance diesel model.
Alongside the new 328d, BMW will display the new 3-Series Gran Turismo and the Concept Active Tourer in New York.
Full details on the new BMW 328d will be unveiled during its official debut.
