The BMW 328d Wagon is Officially Headed to the U.S.

BARRINGTON, Ill. - April 23, 2013 - PRLog -- Those who have admired the luxury BMW 328d Wagon from afar received some exciting news recently when it was announced that the sophisticated and efficient diesel sports wagon will be rolling into U.S. showrooms this fall. The folks at Motor Werks BMW, a premier BMW dealer in Barrington, Illinois (http://www.motorwerksbmwbarrington.com/dealership/about.htm), are anticipating that the U.S. debut of the 328d Wagon will be a huge success.  

This diesel version of the 3 Series wagon, which was released to European markets last year, captured the imagination of stateside drivers, who have been eagerly awaiting word on when it would be made available here. That wait is just about over.

Only the all-wheel xDrive version will be offered to the North American market. It will be powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder diesel engine that delivers 180 hp with 280 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, the 328d is reported to go from zero to 60 in about 7 seconds.

Fuel economy is the name of the game, and the diesel sports wagon is said to be rated at levels that are similar to the sedan versions, which provide a very impressive EPA estimated 32 mpg city and 45 mpg highway, with a combined 37 mpg. That is the kind of fuel efficiency that is sure to appeal to U.S. drivers.

The interior is, as you would expect from BMW, smart, luxurious, and well-crafted, loaded with a wide range of standard comfort and convenience features. Trim levels are expected to include Sport, Luxury, and Modern Lines, as well as an M Sport model.

Given the exceptional fuel economy, outstanding performance, smooth styling, and upscale interior this wagon is noted for, it would seem to be a safe bet that the 2014 BMW 328d Sports Wagon will attract a lot of attention on this side of the pond.
