We have already showed you spy shots of the 2010 BMW 5-series PAS. This 5-series based Progressive Activity Sedan will likely be called V5 and should be unveiled at the end of this year.

Now according to Autocar, BMW chairman Norbert Reithofer has confirmed that the firm will also launch a smaller, more affordable luxury crossover to accompany next year’s 5-series PAS.

This smaller BMW Progressive Activity Sedan (PAS) will be based on the facelifted 3-series, due in 2010. 3-series PAS will be bigger than the Touring but smaller than the new X3. No information on the name, but if the 5-series based PAS will be called V5, then this one is surely going to be called V3.

Both rear-wheel drive and 4WD version will be offered. Engines are likely to be the same as on the 3-series range. The car will go on sale earliest in 2011.
