Although the PAS prototype is still under heavy disguise, it already reveals a sloping hatchback, similar to the X6 that debuted in January at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show, but with more headroom for the rear passengers. BMW intends to steer clear of the minivan category, instead designing a sportier vehicle that avoids the perceived stigma of a family van.
Based on the new BMW 5 Series platform, the new PAS is scheduled for launch in 2009. Power is expected to come from a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine delivering 272 horsepower, and possibly a future direct-injection V8 delivering 420 hp.
