New BMW 3 Series Sedan Revealed With Improved Hybrid Setup

German automobile giant BMW has debuted the 2025 3 Series sedan lineup with updates ranging from the exterior to under the hood. We expect the car to hit the India showrooms later this year. 

2025 BMW 3 Series Sedan: New Bits

The outside gets subtle updates in the form of reworked headlight clusters, 19-inch Y-shaped alloy wheels in dual tone and two new metallic paint schemes Arctic Race Blue and Fire Red, the latter being reserved for M Sport. 

Notable updates follow in the cabin with two-spoke (330i) and flat-bottom three-spoke (M340i and 330i M) steering wheels, ambient lighting around the air vents’ circumference and iDrive display with BMW 8.5 OS. The infotainment unit gets a simplified interface as well. 

2025 BMW 3 Series Sedan: Powertrains 

Out of the three powertrains on offer, the 330e plug-in hybrid houses a bigger 19.5 kWh battery (previously 12 kWh) with an EV-only range of over 101 kilometres and 11 kW fast charging support. The total output from the 2-litre turbo petrol and e-motor setup is 292 horsepower. On the other hand, the 3 Series ICE variants get a 48-volt starter generator pushing out an extra 11 hp besides the 2 and 3-litre blocks, including the M340i.  

BMW sells the 3 Series Gran Limousine and 3 Series M340i in India at a starting ex-showroom price of Rs. 60.60 lakh and Rs. 72.90 lakh, respectively.
