The BMW 3 Series is a sleek performance vehicle that comes in both a sport sedan body style and as a sport wagon. The wagon makes an excellent car for families with its comfortable cabin, safety features, and powerful engines. There is a BMW 3 series vehicle for every driver, and here are some reasons why the wagon makes the ideal family vehicle.
The Cabin Space
The BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon has a roomy cabin with space for up to five passengers. Inside, the seats are exceptionally comfortable, and there is plenty of head and legroom for both the front and rear seat passengers. Families with growing teenagers can still fit the kids in the back seat with more than enough room. The wagon also has an impressive amount of cargo space. You’ll find over 27 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats, and this opens up to even more when you fold the seats down.
The Technology
There is no shortage of tech features available in the 3 Series Sport Wagon. The Premium Package comes with an 8.5-inch touch screen display, BMW’s remote services so you can lock and unlock the car with your smartphone, and it comes with a navigation system. The wagon comes standard with Bluetooth and a nine-speaker stereo system. The BMW Assist emergency telematics system comes standard with the Sport Wagon, and you’ll also get the IDrive infotainment system.
The Power
BMW offers a choice of engines for the wagon. The first is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder that generates 248 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, or you can get a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder diesel with 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. This BMW comes only with all-wheel drive making it an excellent family vehicle for those who live in areas with snowy winters.
The Safety Features
All the 3 Series models come standard with active head restraints to help keep whiplash injuries to a minimum if a crash occurs. These models also have impact sensors that unlock the doors, shut down the electrical systems, and activate the hazards lights, after a crash. They come with a rearview camera and offer the option for a 360-degree surround view camera. Adaptive cruise control is also an available option along with adaptive headlights, active park assist, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.
The Exterior Look
The Sport Wagon is available in the 330i xDrive, and 328d xDrive trim levels. It comes standard with a panoramic sunroof, roof rails, and a power liftgate. You can add the optional hands-free power-lift gate that allows you to open the trunk just by waving your foot under the bumper. LED headlights come standard and you’ll also get power-folding and heated side mirrors and 17-inch wheels.
There are many reasons why the 2018 BMW 3 Series Sport Wagon is the ideal family vehicle. It has the power to get you where you need to go, the technology to make passengers happy, and the safety features to keep your family safe on the road.
