BMW has a display of three major cars at its Auto Expo stall, namely the all-new X1 that was launched at the venue, the new 7-series, and the facelifted 3-series. In addition to showcasing the models, BMW used the platform to announce the launch of the all-new 7-series luxury sedan at Rs 1.11 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi). 

 

The 7-series luxury sedan has long played second fiddle to the S-class, but the Bavarian automaker plans to change that with this new car. It is lighter, more spacious, and loaded to the gills with luxury and gadgetry. The new luxury sedan gets the option of two powerful engines; a 261bhp 3.0-litre, straight-six diesel engine and a 4.4-litre, twin-turbocharged V8 petrol, producing a whopping 444bhp.

 

The recently launched 3-series facelift on display at the carmaker's stall is a rival to the C-class. It gets minor styling upgrades, both on the outside and inside, in addition to a new M Sport variant. The 3-series also features a slightly more powerful 2.0-litre diesel engine that now produces 187bhp. More importantly, the car will soon return with a petrol engine. 

 

The 7-series is the second model to be launched by the carmaker at this year's Auto Expo.
