The outline for 3 new BMW upcoming front-wheel drive models is out. The manufacturer is expected to market these in the next few years. The new front-wheel drive range, as mentioned in the site is likely to be a Compact, a Compactive Sport Gran Tourer and a Family Activity Sports Tourer. This will mark a new segment or series of the company.

The Compact model will be a hatchback, as speculated earlier. The Compactive Sport Gran Tourer will be in the form of a minivan.

It is expected to become a premium alternative to the popular volume models such as the Ford C-Max and VW Touran.

The Family Activity Sports Tourer, as the name suggests, will be a larger crossover-like vehicle for families.

It is more likely to be a cross auto between a mid-sized minivan and a BMW X-model along with a higher seating position. This will be a brand new addition in the BMW X-model segment. Well, no further details are available yet.
