Munich. BMW is increasing the significance and appeal of plug-in hybrid drives in the premium mid-range segment with a comprehensive model offensive. In the BMW 3 Series, the range of vehicles with electrified drive will be expanded over the coming months from the one model as it currently stands to a total of four models. Following the successful market launch of the new BMW 330e Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 1.7 – 1.6 l/100 km; combined power consumption: 15.0 – 14.8 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: 38 – 36 g/km*), the new BMW 330e Touring will also be available from summer 2020 (combined fuel consumption: from 1.7 l/100 km; combined power consumption: from 15.7 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: from 39 g/km, provisional figures*). In addition, both models will be available from summer 2020 with both classic rear-wheel drive and the intelligent all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive.

In all BMW 3 Series plug-in hybrid models, latest-generation BMW eDrive technology increases both efficiency and electrically powered range as well as hallmark driving pleasure. The spontaneous power delivery of the electric motor can be felt during start-up and acceleration, contributing in particular to the car's highly spirited character. The high energy content of the lithium-ion high-voltage batteries units featuring the very latest battery cell technology enables the plug-in hybrid models of the new BMW 3 Series to run on electrical power only – and therefore free of local emissions – with a maximum range of between 55 and 68 kilometres (provisional figures*).

In this way, the BMW Group continues to consistently pursue its model initiative in the area of electrically powered vehicles in 2020. As a pioneer in the field of electromobility, the company already sold half a million vehicles with purely electric or plug-in hybrid drive systems worldwide by the end of 2019. By the end of 2021, the BMW Group aims to have more than one million vehicles with electrified drive systems on the road. A quarter of the vehicles sold by the BMW Group in Europe will be electrified by 2021: this share will increase to a third by 2025 and to half by 2030. The BMW Group plans to expand its range to include 25 electrified models by 2023.

“Power of Choice”: considerable diversity in the range of plug-in hybrid models, too.

With its strategic “Power of Choice” approach, the BMW Group meets the individual mobility needs of its customers all over the world. A broad spectrum of drive technologies – including not just highly efficient petrol and diesel engines but also pure electric drive and plug-in hybrid systems – results in a well-adapted model selection that is tailored to a wide range of legal requirements and individual preferences. Diversity is continuously increasing in the range of electrically powered models, too. With the new plug-in hybrid models of the BMW 3 Series, customers now have additional options when it comes to aligning their desire for sustainable mobility with their personal needs and preferences. The electrified Touring models combine maximum efficiency with the extended interior space enabled by their versatile body concept. The use of plug-in hybrid technology in conjunction with intelligent all-wheel drive is geared in particular to the requirements of driving on snow, in mountainous regions and off-road.

Depending on their equipment, all plug-in hybrid models in the new BMW 3 Series meet the criteria laid down in the German Electric Mobility Act for labelling as electric vehicles and therefore enjoy the special rights this entails in public road traffic due to their high electric range and low level of CO2 emissions. In addition, they also qualify for reduced company car taxation in Germany. Only half the gross list price is taken as a basis when calculating the monetary benefit arising from private use of a company car.

Premiere for Touring models with plug-in hybrid drive.

As of summer 2020, the advantages of an electrified drive system will be available in two BMW Touring models for the first time. They combine the progressive character of their drive system with the proven qualities of a vehicle concept that unites driving pleasure and functionality in a particularly appealing way. Their dynamic design is characterised by a long roof line, precisely drawn lines and powerful surfaces. In their versatile interior, the Touring models with plug-in hybrid drive offer exactly the same level of interior comfort on five seats as the conventionally powered model variants. Meanwhile the luggage compartment volume is only slightly limited due to the space-saving arrangement of the high-voltage battery under the rear seat. By folding down the rear backrest with a split of 40: 20, storage space can be extended to up to 1 420 litres.

The plug-in hybrid system of the new BMW 330e Touring comprises a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and an output of 135 kW/184 hp along with an electric motor integrated in the 8-speed Steptronic transmission which generates a peak output of 83 kW/113 hp. The system output of 185 kW/252 hp generated by the two power units can be increased by an additional 30 kW/40 hp for up to 10 seconds under especially high loads. This standard XtraBoost is available in SPORT mode, which can be activated by means of the driving experience switch. It increases the system output to up to 215 kW/292 hp, thereby maintaining the model-specific properties of the sporting character so typical of the BMW 3 Series. The maximum system torque of the plug-in hybrid drive in the new BMW 330e Touring is 420 Nm.

The XtraBoost is also available during kickdown manoeuvres and after shifting the gear selector switch to the M/S position. The sporty characteristics of the new BMW 330e Touring are further underlined by model-specific drive sound tuning, a direct yet precise accelerator pedal curve and a specific shift programme as part of the 8-speed Steptronic transmission that includes brake downshifts.

Drawing on its two power units, the new BMW 330e Touring accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds (provisional figure). Its maximum speed is 220 km/h (provisional figure). In Hybrid mode the new BMW 330e Sedan is able to reach a speed of up to 110 km/h when running on electric power alone – in other words locally free of emissions. The combustion engine only switches on at higher speeds or when there are particularly high load requirements. When the Electric mode is activated with the eDrive button, the vehicle can even reach speeds of up to 140 km/h drawing on the power of its eDrive alone. Thanks to state-of-the-art cell technology, the lithium-ion high-voltage battery in the new BMW 330e Touring has an electrically powered range of 65 kilometres (provisional figure*).

Efficient and versatile: BMW eDrive in combination with BMW xDrive.

Parallel to the market launch of the BMW 330e Touring, two all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid versions of the BMW 3 Series will also see their launch. These feature the same plug-in hybrid system as the corresponding rear-wheel drive models. In the new BMW 330e xDrive Sedan (combined fuel consumption: from 1.8 l/100 km; combined power consumption: from 16.7 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: from 42 g/km, provisional figures*) and in the new BMW 330e xDrive Touring (combined fuel consumption: from 2.0 l/100 km; combined power consumption: from 17.8 kWh/100 km; combined CO2 emissions: from 46 g/km, provisional figures*), power delivery from the electric motor and engine is combined with power transmission to all four wheels. BMW eDrive meets BMW xDrive – combining exemplary efficiency with superior versatility.

Via an electronically controlled multi-disc clutch, the intelligent all-wheel drive system distributes the power from the engine and electric motor between the front and rear wheels as required at all times. Networked with DSC (Dynamic Stability Control), the system adapts the distribution of drive torque precisely to the respective driving situation within a fraction of a second. Fully variable power distribution ensures maximum traction and driving stability in all road and weather conditions. It also supports the sporty handling of the sedan and touring model with plug-in hybrid drive. The new BMW 330e xDrive Sedan accelerates from standstill to 100 km/h in 5.8 seconds, reaching a top speed of 224 km/h (provisional figures). The new BMW 330e xDrive Touring completes the standard sprint in 6.2 seconds, achieving a maximum speed of 214 km/h (provisional figures). With an electric range of 58 kilometres (provisional figure*) for the Sedan and 55 kilometres (provisional figure*) for the Touring model, the all-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid variants of the new BMW 3 Series also offer ideal conditions for using electric power alone to handle most day-to-day driving such as commuting or travelling within city limits.

Lithium-ion high-voltage storage with the very latest battery cell technology.

The plug-in hybrid models in the new BMW 3 Series owe their long electric range to the latest advances in battery cell technology. Their lithium-ion batteries, designed specifically for each model and manufactured by the BMW Group, have a gross energy content of 12.0 kWh and a capacity of 34 Ah. In relation to its size and weight, the high-voltage battery installed in the current generation provides a particularly extensive energy supply. The battery cells produced according to BMW Group specifications have an exceptionally high storage capacity. The electrical energy stored in the high-voltage battery is also used to supply the vehicle electrical system. This means that a generator powered by the combustion engine is no longer necessary, thereby further increasing the efficiency of the system as a whole. A 40-litre fuel tank ensures a total range that is suitable for long-distance travel, highlighting the capabilities of the plug-in hybrid models as touring vehicles.

The high-voltage battery is charged in a particularly efficient way during travel by means of brake energy recuperation. What is more, it can be charged at conventional household sockets using the standard charging cable. Using this method, the completely discharged battery can absorb 80 per cent of its total capacity within 4.2 hours. 5.7 hours is the estimated period required for a 100% recharge. With a BMW i Wallbox, these charging operations can be completed with 2.4 and 3.4 hours respectively. The charging socket is located under a separate flap on the front left side panel of the car.

Extensive standard equipment including auxiliary air conditioning.

All plug-in hybrid models in the new BMW 3 Series are fitted as standard with active pedestrian protection. When running on electric power at speeds of up to 30 km/h, an unmistakeable sound designed specifically for electrified BMW models is generated to alert other road users to the approaching car without impairing the acoustic comfort of vehicle occupants. In addition, the standard equipment of the BMW 3 Series models with electric drive includes 3-zone automatic air conditioning and auxiliary air conditioning. At low outdoor temperatures, the interior can also be conveniently heated prior to setting off – even if the battery charge status is low. The preconditioning function also enables the interior to be cooled at high outside temperatures. The interior can be pre-conditioned remotely via BMW Connected using a smartphone.

The standard equipment of the plug-in hybrid models in the BMW 3 Series also includes an automatic anti-dazzle interior mirror and Park Distance Control with sensors at the front and rear of the vehicle. BMW Live Cockpit Plus including a navigation system, Remote Services, Apple CarPlay preparation and Service Connected Music, is also standard equipment on the electrified models. As an alternative to the basic equipment, they are available in the form of a Sport Line, Luxury Line or M Sport model.

In addition, virtually the entire range of optional equipment features for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan and the new BMW 3 Series Touring is available for the plug-in hybrid. This includes the Adaptive M suspension including Variable Sports Steering and the M sports braking system as well as the innovative driver assistance systems to optimise comfort and safety – from Driving Assistant Professional with steering and lane guidance assistant to Parking Assistant including reverse assistant. Another optional equipment feature is a tow hitch with electrically swivelling ball head. From summer 2020 onwards, the permissible towing capacity for all plug-in hybrid models in the new BMW 3 Series will be 1 500 kilograms in each case.

Hybrid-specific digital services from BMW Connected.

For the market launch of the new 3 Series plug-in hybrid models, new BMW Connected digital services will be presented which make charging the high-voltage battery en route even more attractive and convenient. When selecting a public charging station, the navigation system also provides the driver with a list of recommended nearby hotels, restaurants, cafés, tourist attractions and cultural institutions. Charging station availability can also be checked using the vehicle display and operating system. The driver receives the information along with a forecast of the occupancy status of the public charging station at the time of arrival. In future, it will also be possible to reserve a charging station for a limited period of time, providing the respective charging infrastructure operator supports this function.

With the new BMW eDrive Zones function, which will be a standard feature in all BMW plug-in hybrid models from summer 2020, urban environmental zones can be automatically detected using geo-fencing technology. On entering the zone, the vehicle then automatically switches to purely electric mode, responding in the same way as a purely electrically powered vehicle and enjoying the same access rights, as per local regulations. The new function ensures even better exploitation of the potential offered by plug-in hybrid vehicles. The increase in the distance covered electrically not only helps optimise efficiency and reduce emissions, it also reduces the customer’s operating costs. This applies particularly to city traffic, where electric power consistently achieves a higher level of efficiency than a petrol or diesel engine.

BMW plug-in hybrid models: wide-ranging benefits in day-to-day use.

Compared to conventional drive forms, BMW plug-in hybrid already offers its users wide-ranging benefits:

• Savings: electrically powered driving in the city costs less than running a car on petrol or diesel if the vehicle is charged at home or at work.
• Always the right temperature when you get in: auxiliary heating and air conditioning come as standard.
• Braking is a benefit: the battery is charged when the brakes are applied. In conventional cars, it simply generates heat and wears down the brakes.
• The best of both worlds: plug-in hybrid cars offer electrically powered driving pleasure in town and classic BMW driving pleasure over long distances
• Future-proof: since plug-in hybrids are able to run emissions-free, they provide access to many environmental zones as well as parking privileges and savings on toll fees.
• Enhanced quality of life in cities: by activating the electric driving mode, users can contribute to reducing emissions and traffic noise in cities.

Munich. BMW is making further advances in its push to boost the driving pleasure and efficiency of its current model range with the introduction of state-of-the-art mild-hybrid technology in autumn 2019. Fitting a 48V starter-generator in the BMW 5 Series for the first time has the additional benefit of increasing power output and reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Meanwhile, the BMW 330e Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 1.9 – 1.6 l/100 km [148.7 – 176.6 mpg imp]; electric power consumption combined: 15.4 – 14.8 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 43 – 37 g/km), BMW 530e Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 1.8 – 1.6 l/100 km [156.9 – 176.6 mpg imp]; electric power consumption combined: 14.5 – 13.6 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 41 – 36 g/km) and BMW 530e xDrive Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 2.2 – 2.0 l/100 km [128.4 – 141.2 mpg imp]; electric power consumption combined: 15.4 – 14.1 kWh/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 49 – 46 g/km) plug-in hybrid models will offer even greater versatility and everyday practicality from November 2019 when a trailer coupling joins the options list.

New optional extras designed to further enhance sporting prowess and driving comfort will also be made available for numerous other models from autumn 2019. Some of the most tempting additions to the options lists include the M Performance package for the BMW M135i xDrive (fuel consumption combined: 7.1 – 6.8 l/100 km [39.8 – 41.5 mpg imp]; CO₂ emissions combined: 162 – 155 g/km), BMW Laserlight for the BMW 5 Series and the M Carbon roof for the new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe. Finally, new exterior and interior options open up a wealth of possibilities for individualising the new BMW X5, new BMW X6 and new BMW X7.

BMW 5 Series: mild-hybrid technology for extra sprinting power and efficiency.

In autumn 2019, BMW will present another element in its powertrain electrification strategy to accompany the ongoing expansion of its plug-in hybrid line-up. Mild-hybrid technology will make its debut in the BMW 5 Series, where it will help to both lighten the combustion engine’s workload and boost its power, meaning not just superior efficiency but sharper performance. Fitting an extremely powerful 48V starter-generator and a second battery significantly enhances the functionality of Brake Energy Regeneration by enabling the energy recuperated when braking or on the overrun to be harnessed not just for powering electrical vehicle functions, but for generating additional drive power. For this, the 48V starter-generator acts likes an electric drive unit that assists the engine, allowing the latter to operate within an efficiency-optimised load range as frequently as possible. An electric overboost function, meanwhile, injects an extra dose of dynamism when accelerating under full throttle.

The 48V starter-generator has the additional benefit of allowing the engine to be switched off with remarkably little vibration and restarted more smoothly when using the Auto Start Stop function. This also makes it possible to completely shut off the engine in coasting mode, rather than just disconnecting it from the drivetrain. As of November 2019, mild-hybrid technology will be fitted as standard on the BMW 520d Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 4.1 – 4.3 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 108 –112 g/km), BMW 520d xDrive Sedan (fuel consumption combined: 4.5 – 4.7 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 117 – 123 g/km), BMW 520d Touring (fuel consumption combined: 4.3 – 4.5 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 114 – 118 g/km) and BMW 520d xDrive Touring (fuel consumption combined: 4.7 – 4.9 l/100 km; CO₂ emissions combined: 124 – 128 g/km). The fuel consumption figures of the 140 kW/190 hp four-cylinder diesel engine that powers this quartet of models will be cut by up to 0.3 litres per 100 kilometres as a result.

The enhancements to the BMW 5 Series range also include the introduction of BMW Laserlight on further model variants. This lighting technology – which increases high-beam range to a maximum 650 metres – will be added to the wealth of innovations aboard both the BMW M550d xDrive Sedan and BMW M550d xDrive Touring from November 2019.

BMW 3 Series and BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid models now also available with a trailer coupling.

The hallmark sporting flair of BMW cars, outstanding efficiency and the option of driving with zero local emissions highlight the progressive character of the plug-in hybrid BMW 3 Series and 5 Series models. The BMW 330e Sedan, BMW 530e Sedan and BMW 530e xDrive Sedan can also be ordered with almost the complete range of optional extras available for the conventionally powered model variants, allowing driving pleasure and comfort to be tailored to individual requirements. A trailer coupling with an electrically pivoting hitch ball will be added to the list of options in November 2019, further enhancing the plug-in hybrid models’ practical value in everyday driving. These three models will have a maximum trailer load of 750 kilograms.

BMW 1 Series: M Performance package for the BMW M135i xDrive.

Model-specific design features showcase the performance capabilities of the new BMW M135i xDrive even in its standard guise. But now customers will be able to lend the 225 kW/306 hp range-topper’s standout sporting credentials even greater visual impact by opting for the new M Performance package. Available from November 2019, its special 18‑inch M light-alloy wheels in Y-spoke design and the deletion of the storage package reduce vehicle weight by around ten kilograms. This results in a 0.1-second improvement in the car’s 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) time, to 4.7 seconds. Added to which, the new M Performance package for the BMW 135i xDrive brings exterior mirror caps and exhaust tailpipes in a Black painted finish and a mesh-design BMW kidney grille in High-gloss Black with a surround painted in the same colour.

BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe: M Carbon roof shaves off extra weight.

The new BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe brings genuine sports car feel to the occupants of its four full-size seats. The M Carbon exterior package available since launch already accents the car’s dynamic verve with some precise touches. And from November 2019, the choice of optional extras for the four-door luxury sports car will expand to include an M Carbon roof, which will be available as an individual item for the BMW M850i xDrive Gran Coupe and in conjunction with the M Sport package for the other model variants. As well as creating a look clearly inspired by racing cars, the M Carbon roof brings about a further reduction in weight. Interior trim strips in Carbon Fibre can also be ordered as an optional extra for the BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe for the first time.

BMW X5, BMW X6, BMW X7: new customisation options.

The appearance, interior ambience and comfort levels of the BMW X5, BMW X6 and BMW X7 can now be attuned even more precisely to personal preferences thanks to a number of new equipment options. M multifunction front seats are just one of the optional features due to become available for the executive- and luxury-class BMW X models from December 2019. Quite apart from their outstanding comfort, the seats also offer a wide range of adjustment options, all operated electrically. They can also be upgraded by the addition of massage and ventilation functions for even greater comfort on long journeys.

Customers seeking the ultimate in exclusivity can look forward to the BMW Individual Composition, which will be offered for the new BMW X5, new BMW X6 and new BMW X7 from December 2019. This equipment package comprises a selection of highly exclusive options for the exterior and interior boasting exceptional material quality and workmanship. 22-inch BMW Individual light-alloy wheels and a BMW Individual paint finish ensure the BMW X models cut a stylish figure. Inside, BMW Individual Merino full leather trim, a BMW Individual headliner in Alcantara and BMW Individual interior trim strips in Piano Finish Black create a sense of high luxury. 

The options list for the new BMW X6 also now includes a load compartment package comprising sliding rails, non-slip rails and retaining nets. Interior trim strips in Ash Grain Brown or Fineline Stripe and Vernasca design-perforated leather trim in Ivory White add to the choice of customisation options for the cabin. Paint finishes in Sapphire Black metallic and Sophisto Grey brilliant effect metallic and the BMW Individual paint finishes Tanzanite Blue metallic and Ametrine metallic have now been added to the colour palette for customers wishing to give the Sports Activity Coupe’s exterior a particularly striking look. An M Carbon rear spoiler and M Carbon mirror caps can also be specified to bring the car’s sporting genes even further to the fore.

The Adaptive M suspension Professional optionally available for the new BMW X5 gives it far greater poise in dynamic driving situations. This optional extra, comprising active roll stabilisation, the M Sport differential and Integral Active Steering, will also be available for the BMW X5 xDrive40i and BMW X5 xDrive30d from December 2019. The functionality of the Driving Assistant Professional will be enhanced in the new BMW X5 and new BMW X6 with the addition of the new Lane Change Assistant, which aids the driver with automated steering movements during overtaking manoeuvres.

Driving Assistant Professional brings real-time 3D visualisation of the surrounding area to the instrument cluster.

The Driving Assistant Professional offers drivers an extremely wide range of assistance in monotonous and complex traffic situations. Its range of functions now includes 3D visualisation of the area around the car, which has been available in all models equipped with BMW Live Cockpit Professional since July 2019. The system uses the data supplied by the driver assistance systems’ cameras and sensors to generate a real-time three-dimensional graphic image of the vehicle’s surroundings. The image appears in the centre of the instrument cluster and helps to give the driver a clearer overview of what is happening on the road, especially when driving on multi-lane highways. This means the driver can also register the position of other road users driving in front of or alongside them when they glance down at the speedometer or rev counter.

BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant with separate iDrive menu and individual configurability.

The BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant enjoys additional functionality gains. Since July 2019 users have been able to access all the relevant settings via a separate menu in the BMW Operating System 7.0. This means the driver can adjust the functioning of the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant according to the driving situation at hand. For example, the intelligent and proactive functions can be switched on and off, and notifications and phone calls can be anonymised if passengers are on board.

Het motorenpallet van de nieuwste generatie van de sportsedan is aangevuld met een plug-in hybride aandrijving - het elektrisch aangedreven bereik is in vergelijking met het vorige model met 50 procent toegenomen tot 60 kilometer* - de CO2-uitstoot is met meer dan 10 procent verminderd - het sprintvermogen is verbeterd: de standaard XtraBoost verhoogt het aandrijfvermogen tijdelijk nog verder tot 30 kW/40 pk - marktintroductie in de zomer van 2019.

Munich. A combination of peerless dynamics and exemplary efficiency defines the character of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. And now the addition to the range of drive solutions of a plug-in hybrid system brings an extra, particularly future-focused angle to the new sports sedan’s core attributes. The latest generation of BMW eDrive technology teams up with a four-cylinder petrol engine to significantly enhance the sporting prowess of the new BMW 330e Sedan (whose worldwide market launch is now underway) and deliver an even richer electric driving experience. Making its debut appearance in a BMW, the standard-fitted XtraBoost raises the system output of the plug-in hybrid to a maximum 215 kW/292 hp. The lightning-fast responses of the drive system headline the new BMW 330e Sedan’s driving characteristics. Added to which, its electric range is over 50 per cent greater than that of its predecessor; 66 kilometres (41 miles)* is possible with zero local emissions. Fuel consumption and emissions are down by more than 15 per cent on the levels of the predecessor model – to 1.9 – 1.6 litres per 100 kilometres (148.7 – 176.6 mpg imp)* and 43 – 37 grams of per kilometre*.

In the new BMW 330e Sedan, the intelligently controlled interplay of electric motor and combustion engine reaches a whole new level. The electrification of the powertrain contributes more than ever not only to increasing efficiency but also to a distinctive form of driving pleasure. The plug-in hybrid system pools the abilities of a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and output of 135 kW/184 hp with the talents of an electric motor, which generates peak output of 83 kW/113 hp. Together, the two drive sources produce maximum system torque of 420 Nm (310 lb-ft).

Premiere in the new BMW 330e Sedan: XtraBoost for maximum dynamic performance.

A brand-new feature – and included as standard in the new BMW 330e Sedan – is XtraBoost, which reveals the car at its most dynamic. The driver can quickly bring XtraBoost into play by activating SPORT mode with the Driving Experience Control switch. A vigorous stamp on the accelerator uncorks an additional 30 kW/40 hp on top of the combined 185 kW/252 hp already generated by the combination of electric motor and combustion engine – and XtraBoost keeps it on tap for up to 10 seconds. The result is the signature powertrain character of the BMW 3 Series Sedan, comprising (for the first time in a hybrid model from BMW) incredibly sporty yet also precise accelerator response, and a specific shift program for the eight-speed Steptronic transmission including engine-braking downshifts.

The instant-impact XtraBoost delivers a significantly more intense experience of acceleration than a conventionally powered vehicle with comparable output could offer. For example, if the driver suddenly puts their foot down hard from 20 km/h (12 mph), in as little as a second the new BMW 330e Sedan accelerates with around twice the vigour of a car powered solely by a combustion engine. Within three seconds, it opens up a car’s-length gap. XtraBoost can still be accessed with the high-voltage battery at minimum charge, as well as in kickdown and with the transmission selector lever in the M or S position.

The new BMW 330e Sedan sprints from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 5.9 seconds en route to a top speed of 230 km/h (143 mph). The driving experience is accompanied by a model-specific and emotionally engaging drive system note, which also finds its way into the interior. And so the new BMW 330e Sedan vividly showcases its sporty and dynamic side, blended with the proven qualities of a plug-in hybrid car.

Pure-electric driving at up to 140 km/h (87 mph).

In the HYBRID driving mode, the new BMW 330e Sedan can hit speeds of up to 110 km/h (68 mph) on electric power alone – an increase of 30 km/h (19 mph) over its predecessor. And ELECTRIC mode opens the door to locally emission-free driving at 140 km/h (87 mph), up from 120 km/h (75 mph). Hybrid-specific standard features of the new BMW 330e Sedan include acoustic pedestrian protection. When driving on electric power, an exterior speaker system generates an unmistakable sound created specifically for electrified BMWs. At low speeds, the drive system’s bespoke note exudes aural presence, without impinging on the acoustic comfort of those on board.

The new BMW 330e Sedan’s electric motor is integrated into the eight-speed Steptronic transmission, saving space. Intelligent design allows the hybrid-specific version of the transmission to be no more than 15 millimetres longer than corresponding variants for conventionally powered variants of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. Power generation by means of braking energy recuperation, where the electric motor plays the role of a generator, works particularly effectively. The electric energy channelled into the high-voltage battery either in this way or when plugged into the power grid also feeds the 12-volt on-board power supply. All of which renders a combustion engine-driven generator surplus to requirements and further enhances overall system efficiency.

High range and efficiency.

With a gross energy content of 12.0 kWh, the lithium-ion high-voltage battery in the new BMW 330e Sedan enables an increase in electric range of more than 50 per cent over its predecessor – to 59 – 66 kilometres (37 – 41 miles)*. Meanwhile, the second generation of the plug-in hybrid sports sedan cuts fuel consumption and emissions by over 15 per cent to 1.9 – 1.6 litres per 100 kilometres (148.7 – 176.6 mpg imp)* and 43 – 37 grams of CO₂ per kilometre*. The combined-cycle electric power consumption of the new BMW 330e Sedan is 15.4 – 14.8 kWh per 100 kilometres*.

The high-voltage battery in the new BMW 330e Sedan is mounted under the rear seats, while the petrol tank sits over the rear axle. This means the plug-in hybrid’s cargo-carrying ability is only slightly reduced, and load capacity of 375 litres can be expanded as required thanks to the 40 : 20 : 40 split/folding rear-seat backrests.

Customers opting for the plug-in hybrid model can choose from virtually the full list of options otherwise available for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. The new BMW 330e Sedan is also offered in Advantage, Sport Line, Luxury Line or M Sport form as an alternative to basic specification. And it can be ordered with features including Adaptive M suspension with variable sport steering and M Sport brakes. From November 2019, the new BMW 330e Sedan will also be available with a trailer coupling with electrically pivoting hitch ball. The maximum trailer load for the plug-in hybrid model is 750 kilograms.

Auxiliary heating and air conditioning as standard.

The full selection of innovative comfort- and safety-optimising driver assistance systems – from the Driving Assistant Professional with steering and lane control assistant to the Parking Assistant including reversing assistant – is also available. Standard specification for the new BMW 330e Sedan includes preconditioning of the interior with the heating or air conditioning. Energy stored in the high-voltage battery is used to power the auxiliary heating. In low outside temperatures, this means the interior can be warmed up with user-friendly ease before getting into the car, even when the battery charge is low. This interior preconditioning function also allows the interior to be cooled in higher ambient temperature.

With the launch of the new BMW 330e Sedan, new digital services will be presented which make charging the high-voltage battery during a journey even easier and more attractive. Selecting a public charging station prompts the navigation system to come up with recommendations on nearby hotels, restaurants, cafés and sights or cultural centres. And it is also possible to check the whereabouts of charging stations via the display and control system. The driver can likewise check the predicted availability of public charging points at the time of arrival. Added to which, it will be possible to reserve charging points for a limited time, should this facility be offered by the charging infrastructure operator in question.

The drive technology presented in the plug-in hybrid model variant of the new sports sedan will also be available in the new BMW 330e Touring from summer 2020. This will be the first time customers ordering a Touring model from BMW can choose a plug-in hybrid drive system. The new offering sees BMW forging ahead with its model offensive for vehicles with electrified drive systems.

BMW plug-in hybrid models offer an array of benefits in everyday use.

BMW’s plug-in hybrid drive systems already offer users a host of additional benefits over traditional solutions:

• Money-saving: Electric driving in urban areas is cheaper than using petrol or diesel if the plug-in hybrid vehicle is charged at home or at the workplace at low cost.
• Interior always at the right temperature, even before you get in: auxiliary heating and auxiliary air conditioning are fitted as standard.
• Braking is winning: The battery is charged under braking. In conventional vehicles, braking generates only heat and brake dust.
• The best of both worlds: Plug-in hybrids provide electric driving pleasure in urban areas and classical BMW driving pleasure over longer distances.

• Smoothing the way into the future: Because a plug-in hybrid can run emission-free, it is eligible to enter many low-emission zones, enjoys extra parking privileges and saves on toll charges.
• Better quality of life in cities: By driving on electric power, users can actively contribute to reducing emissions and traffic noise in cities.

Future-proof: BMW eDrive Zones ensure emission-free driving in low-emission zones.

The new BMW 330e Sedan is ready to take advantage of low-emission zones designated by cities exclusively for zero-emission driving. With the new BMW eDrive Zones function (which will be part of standard equipment for BMW plug-in hybrid models from 2020 and can be retrofitted), geofencing technology will make it possible to detect low-emission zones automatically. When entering these zones, the vehicle switches into pure-electric driving mode automatically, from which point it behaves like a fully-electric vehicle and can therefore enjoy equal access rights (subject to local regulations). The new function ensures the potential of plug-in hybrid vehicles is utilised to even greater effect. The increase in the proportion of journeys driven on electric power not only plays a role in optimising efficiency, it also helps to reduce operating costs for customers. This applies to driving in urban areas, in particular, where an electric drive system delivers a higher level of efficiency across the board than a petrol or diesel engine.

New BMW 330e Sedan has a smaller overall CO₂ footprint.

The “real” environmental impact of plug-in hybrid vehicles has been questioned on occasion, especially in markets where the proportion of green energy used by the public energy grid remains small. The BMW Group conducted a full-cycle CO₂ certification for the new BMW 330e Sedan – from raw material procurement, the supply chain, production and the use phase, all the way to recycling.

This revealed the CO₂ footprint of the new BMW 330e Sedan to be 20 per cent smaller than that of the new BMW 330i Sedan when running on average European power in the use phase. When charging the car with green energy, its CO₂ footprint is reduced by as much as 60 per cent.

Munchen/Genève: BMW gaat in sneltempo verder met de elektrificatie van zijn gamma en presenteert de nieuwste plug-in hybride modellen op het komende Autosalon van Genève (7 tot en met 17 maart). Tegelijk presenteert BMW een nieuwe sports activity vehicle (SAV) met elektrische aandrijving: de BMW X3 wordt vanaf december 2019 ook als plug-in hybride geproduceerd. Daarmee is de BMW X3 de eerste SAV die BMW aanbiedt met zowel een conventionele verbrandingsmotor als met een plug-in hybride aandrijflijn – en in 2020 volgt ook nog een volledig elektrisch aangedreven versie.

In 2018 verstevigde BMW Group opnieuw zijn positie als pionier en marktleider op het gebied van auto’s met een vorm van elektrische aandrijving (bron: IHS Markit New Registrations 2018 Report 04.01. 2019). Met een marktaandeel wereldwijd van meer dan 9% is BMW Group de grootste van de premium aanbieders van auto’s met puur elektrische en plug-in hybride aandrijving. In 2018 was de BMW Group in Duitsland, China én België de marktleider in het premium segment van auto’s met elektrische aandrijving. Met een marktaandeel van meer dan 16% stond BMW Group opnieuw ook in Europa op de eerste plaats in de verkoopranglijst van auto’s met elektrische aandrijving. BMW Group noteerde in 2018 een wereldwijd verkooprecord met meer dan 140.000 puur elektrische en plug-in hybride auto’s. Dat is een toename van 38,4% ten opzichte van 2017.

Als één van de vier toekomstgerichte onderwerpen van ACES (Autonomous, Connected, Electrified and Services/Shared – ofwel autonoom, verbonden, geëlektrificeerd en diensten/delen), is elektrische mobiliteit een van de belangrijkste aspecten van BMW’s strategie NUMBER ONE > NEXT. BMW Group wil tegen eind dit jaar meer dan een half miljoen auto’s met elektrische aandrijving op de weg hebben.

BMW Group zal eind 2019 twaalf modellen met elektrische aandrijving in het gamma hebben, te weten: de volledig elektrisch aangedreven BMW i3 (BMW i3: gecombineerd energieverbruik: 13,1 kWh/ 100 km*; BMW i3s: gecombineerd energieverbruik: 14,0-14,6 kWh/100 km*), de BMW i8 Coupé (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik: 1,8 l/100 km; gecombineerd energieverbruik: 14,0 kWh/100 km; gecombineerde CO2-emissie uit brandstof: 42 g/km*) en de BMW i8 Roadster (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik: 2,0 l/100 km; gecombineerd energieverbruik: 14,5 kWh/100 km; gecombineerde CO2-emissie uit brandstof: 46 g/km*). En dan zijn er nog de plug-in hybride varianten van de BMW X5, de BMW X3, de BMW 2 Reeks, de BMW 3 Reeks, de BMW 5 Reeks, de BMW 7 Reeks en de BMW X1 xDrive25Le die in China wordt geproduceerd voor de lokale markt. De MINI Cooper SE Countryman ALL4 (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik: 2,4-2,5 l/100 km; gecombineerd energieverbruik 13,4-13,7 kWh/100 km; gecombineerde CO2-emissie: 55-56 g/km*) en de volledig elektrische MINI completeren het twaalftal geëlektrificeerde modellen. Niet alleen dat grote aantal is uniek, ook de variëteit is dat – van het premium compacte segment via het (hogere) middensegment tot in het segment van de luxe, sportieve auto’s én in de segmenten van de sportauto’s en de SAV’s. BMW Group verwacht dat in 2025 het aanbod van elektrische modellen van de merken in de groep is toegenomen tot minimaal 25.

Wereldpremière: de BMW X3 xDrive30e met plug-in hybride aandrijving.

BMW start in december 2019 met de productie van een SAV met plug-in hybride aandrijving en breidt daarmee zijn gamma van auto’s met elektrische aandrijving verder uit. De BMW X3 xDrive30e maakt zijn werelddebuut op de komende Autosalon van Genève. De auto combineert de veelzijdigheid van een premium middelgrote SAV met de vooruitstrevende BMW eDrive technologie. Zijn robuuste karakter, sportieve prestaties en BMW xDrive vierwielaandrijving – ook actief als alleen de elektromotor de auto aandrijft – zijn gecombineerd met een bijzonder laag brandstofverbruik en bijzonder lage emissie. Met de allernieuwste accutechnologie heeft de BMW X3 xDrive30e een puur elektrische actieradius van tot wel 50 kilometer*. Dankzij BMW eDrive technologie is het gecombineerde brandstofverbruik beperkt tot minder dan 2,4 l/100 km*, met een CO2-emissie van hooguit 56 g/km*.

Het plug-in hybride systeem in de BMW X3 xDrive30e bestaat uit een 4-cilinder benzinemotor met BMW TwinPower Turbo techniek en een elektromotor. Beide krachtbronnen drijven de wielen aan via een 8-traps Steptronic transmissie en de intelligente vierwielaandrijving. Het systeemvermogen bedraagt 185 kW (252 pk) en kan tijdelijk worden verhoogd met 30 kW (41 pk) door gebruikmaking van het piekvermogen van de elektromotor. De BMW X3 xDrive30e accelereert in slechts 6,5 seconden (onder voorbehoud) vanuit stilstand naar 100 km/u.

Het nieuwste plug-in hybride model van BMW is uitgerust met een lithium-ion-accu die ruimtebesparend onder de achterbank is gemonteerd. Met een bagageruimte van 450 liter doet de BMW X3 xDrive30e niet onder voor de modelvarianten met conventionele aandrijflijn.

Andere wereldpremières in Genève: BMW 330e Berline, BMW X5 xDrive45e en de plug-in hybride versies van de nieuwe BMW 7 Reeks.

De leidende rol van BMW Group op het gebied van elektrische aandrijving komt ook tot uitdrukking in het huidige motorengamma. Op de Autosalon van Genève van dit jaar presenteert BMW de tweede generatie van plug-in hybride modellen in drie segmenten.

De nieuwe BMW 330e Berline is bijzonder indrukwekkend, niet alleen vanwege de elektrische actieradius van 60 kilometer – ten opzichte van die van zijn voorganger een toename van maar liefst 50%. Maar ook vanwege de reductie van het brandstofverbruik tot maximaal 1,7 l/100 km* en van de CO2-emissie tot 39 g/km*. En dat alles gecombineerd met het kenmerkende rijplezier dat de sportberline biedt. Het systeemvermogen van de plug-in hybride aandrijflijn bedraagt 185 kW (252 pk) – met de mogelijkheid om dat met de standaard XtraBoost tijdelijk met nog eens 30 kW (41 pk) te verhogen. Daarmee accelereert de nieuwe BMW 330e Berline vanuit stilstand naar 100 km/u in 6,0 seconden (onder voorbehoud).

Ook de nieuwste versie van de BMW X5 met plug-in hybride aandrijving biedt meer vermogen, verbeterde efficiency en een grotere elektrische actieradius. De nieuwe BMW X5 xDrive45e is nu uitgerust met een aangepaste 6-cilinder-in-lijn benzinemotor en een elektromotor – met een systeemvermogen dat is toegenomen tot 290 kW (394 pk). Het kost deze SAV slechts 5,6 seconden (onder voorbehoud) om vanuit stilstand naar 100 km/u te accelereren. De elektrische actieradius bedraagt ongeveer 80 kilometer*, bijna drie keer zo veel als die van zijn voorganger. Daardoor zijn de dagelijkse ritten naar het werk en naar huis gemakkelijk puur elektrisch aangedreven af te leggen, zodat de lokale CO2-emissie wordt gereduceerd tot 0 g/km. Maar met zijn 69 liter brandstoftank is de BMW X5 xDrive45e ook perfect geschikt voor lange ritten. De vooruitstrevende plug-in hybride aandrijftechnologie reduceert het gecombineerde brandstofverbruik tot maximaal 2,1 l/100 km* en de CO2-emissie uit brandstof tot maximaal 49 g/km*. De kwaliteiten als reisauto blijken ook uit de veelzijdige bagageruimte. De inhoud van 500 tot 1.716 liter is slechts weinig minder dan die van de modelvarianten met conventionele aandrijving.

De grensverleggende, veelzijdige kwaliteiten van de BMW X5 xDrive45e worden perfect aangevuld door de intelligente vierwielaandrijving BMWxDrive. Die brengt de power van beide krachtbronnen over naar alle vier wielen en zorgt voor sportief rijplezier op de weg en uitmuntende tractie en prestaties op onverhard terrein.

In de plug-in hybride varianten van de nieuwe BMW 7 Reeks zijn de sportieve flair, het reiscomfort en de aangename ambiance van een luxueuze berline gecombineerd met de mogelijkheid om lokaal emissievrij en vrijwel geluidloos te rijden. De elektrische actieradius is met ongeveer 30% uitgebreid ten opzichte van de actieradius van de voorgangers en bedraagt nu 50 tot 58 kilometer*. Het gamma omvat de BMW 745e (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik: 2,1-2,3 l/100 km; gecombineerd energieverbruik 15,1-15,6 kWh/100 km; gecombineerde CO2-emissie: 48-52 g/km*), de langere BMW 745Le (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik: 2,2-2,3 l/100 km; gecombineerd energieverbruik: 15,6-15,7 kWh/100 km; gecombineerde CO2-emissie: 50-53 g/km) en de BMW 745Le xDrive (gecombineerd brandstofverbruik: 2,3-2,6 l/100 km; gecombineerd energieverbruik: 15,8-16,3 kWh/100 km; gecombineerde CO2-emissie: 52-59 g/km*) met verlengde wielbasis en vierwielaandrijving. De aandrijflijn bestaat nu uit een speciaal voor deze versie aangepaste 6-cilinder-in-lijn benzinemotor in combinatie met een elektromotor. Als de bestuurder met de Driving Experience Control de SPORT-modus kiest, kan hij beschikken over een systeemvermogen van 290 kW (394 pk). De nieuwe BMW 745e accelereert in 5,2 seconden vanuit stilstand naar 100 km/u, de nieuwe BMW 745Le doet dat in 5,3 seconden en de nieuwe BMW 745Le xDrive in slechts 5,1 seconden.

BMW 530e Berline en BMW 225xe Active Tourer met doorontwikkelde lithium-ion-accu’s en een grotere elektrische actieradius.

Nieuwe ontwikkelingen op het gebied van batterijceltechnologie leidden ook tot een uitbreiding van de mogelijkheden om lokaal emissievrij te rijden in de plug-in hybride varianten van de BMW 5 Reeks en BMW 2 Reeks. Hoewel de afmetingen niet zijn veranderd, is de brutocapaciteit van de nieuwe lithium-ion-accu voor de plug-in hybride versie van de BMW 5 Reeks Berline nu toegenomen van 9,2 tot 12,0 kWh. Dat betekent dat de puur elektrische actieradius met meer dan 30% is gegroeid tot 64 kilometer*. De BMW 530e Berline heeft nu een gecombineerd brandstofverbruik van 1,7 l/100 km* en een CO2-emissie van 38 g/km*. Als extra modelvariant verschijnt vanaf juli 2019 de vierwielaangedreven BMW 530e xDrive Berline. Die heeft een puur elektrische actieradius van maximaal 57 kilometer*. Het gecombineerde brandstofverbruik bedraagt 1,9 l/100 km* met een CO2-emissie van 44 g/km*.

In de BMW 225xe Active Tourer plaveit state-of-the-art batterijceltechnologie de weg voor nog lagere verbruikscijfers en een toename van 25% van de puur elektrische actieradius tot 47 kilometer*. Ook hier zijn de afmetingen gelijk gebleven, maar is de brutocapaciteit van de lithium-ion-accu toegenomen van 7,7 tot 9,7 kWh. Het gecombineerde brandstofverbruik van de BMW 225xe Active Tourer is 1,9 l/100 km*, het gecombineerde energieverbruik 14,7 kWh/100 km en de CO2-emissie 43 g/km*. De speciaal voor de hybrideversie ontwikkelde vierwielaandrijving draagt bij aan de sportieve en veelzijdige rijeigenschappen van de BMW 225xe ActiveTourer. De standaarduitrusting en de opties omvatten talloze moderne rijdersassistentiesystemen en de nieuwste innovaties op het gebied van intelligente connectiviteit en digitale diensten – voor extra gemak bij het opladen van de hoogvoltage-accu en een nog intensere beleving van elektrisch rijden.

De modernste accutechnologie, nieuw bedieningssysteem en innovatieve digitale diensten voor een optimale elektrische rijervaring.

Behalve de nieuwste accutechnologie zijn de plug-in hybride varianten van de nieuwe BMW 3 Reeks Berline, BMW X5 en BMW 7 Reeks ook voorzien van een nieuw display- en bedieningssysteem en innovatieve digitale diensten voor een nog intensere beleving van elektrisch rijden. De standaarduitrusting omvat de BMW Live Cockpit Professional met nieuw vormgegeven schermen in het instrumentenpaneel en de Control Display, die heldere informatie geeft over de laadtoestand van de accu, de resterende elektrische actieradius en de ingestelde modus van de plug-in hybride aandrijving. De knoppen voor het selecteren van de rijmodus zijn nu geïntegreerd in de Driving Experience Control. Daarmee is met een simpele druk op de knop de SPORT-modus in te schakelen voor extra dynamische instellingen en de ADAPTIVE-modus voor instellingen die zijn aangepast aan de rijstijl van de bestuurder en de situatie. Ook zijn er nog drie aandrijfmodi te kiezen – HYBRID, ELECTRIC en BATTERY CONTROL. De HYBRID-modus is de standaardinstelling die zorgt voor balans en optimale samenwerking van de verbrandingsmotor en de elektromotor. Het is ook mogelijk om via het iDrive menu de ELECTRIC-modus te kiezen als standaardmodus. De HYBRID-knop moet twee keer worden ingedrukt om de extra efficiënte HYBRID ECO PRO-modus te activeren. De coasting-functie draagt eveneens bij aan een nog verdere reductie van het brandstofverbruik.

Het intelligente energiemanagementsysteem is ook geoptimaliseerd. Door de koppeling aan het navigatiesysteem is de samenwerking van de verbrandings- en de elektromotor nog preciezer aangepast aan de route en de situatie op de weg. In de BMW 330e Berline en de BMW X5 xDrive45e maakt het energiemanagementsysteem gebruik van gegevens van de navigatie en van sensors om optimaal remenergie terug te winnen in de HYBRID ECO PRO-modus. Als de auto een kruising of een voorligger nadert, kan de terugwinning van de remenergie worden geïntensiveerd om de auto af te remmen.

Tijdens het laadproces geeft het volledig digitale instrumentenpaneel grafisch informatie weer over de actuele laadstatus van de accu en dus de resterende elektrische actieradius. De grafische weergave – voor elke auto specifiek ontworpen – toont ook het beschikbare ampèrage bij het laadstation dat gebruikt wordt, en geeft aan wanneer de accu volledig is opgeladen.

Nieuwe digitale diensten maken het aantrekkelijker en gemakkelijker om de hoogvoltage-accu onderweg op te laden. Het navigatiesysteem toont bijvoorbeeld de hotels, restaurants, cafés, bezienswaardigheden en culturele attracties in de nabijheid van het geselecteerde openbare oplaadpunt. Klanten ontvangen ook een verwachting van de beschikbaarheid/bezetting van het laadstation. Verder biedt BMW gebruikers van ChargeNow de mogelijkheid om een laadpunt voor een beperkte tijd de reserveren vanuit de auto (onder voorbehoud van lancering in Belux).

BMW heeft een kenmerkend geluid ontwikkeld voor de modellen met elektrische aandrijving, waarmee voetgangers worden gewaarschuwd voor de aanwezigheid van de verder geluidloze auto. Het geluid is via een speakersysteem hoorbaar als de auto langzaam en elektrisch rijdt. Overigens heeft het geluid geen nadelige invloed op het geluidscomfort van de inzittenden van de BMW.

Alle verbruiks-, emissie-, prestatie- en actieradiuscijfers onder voorbehoud.

Gegevens over brandstofverbruik, CO2-uitstoot, elektriciteitsverbruik en bereik zijn vastgesteld in overeenstemming met de voorgeschreven meetprocedure Verordening (EU) 2007/715. De cijfers hebben betrekking op een voertuig met basisuitrusting in Duitsland, de uiteenlopende waarden houden rekening met verschillen in de geselecteerde wiel- en bandenmaat en optionele uitrusting.

De met een * gemarkeerde gegevens zijn berekend op basis van de nieuwe WLTP-testcyclus en voor vergelijkingsdoeleinden omgerekend naar NEDC. Voor deze auto’s kunnen andere getallen dan hier vermeld van toepassing zijn voor de berekening van belastingen en andere autogerelateerde toeslagen die (ook) zijn gebaseerd op de CO2-emissie.
