NY Auto Show 2017 preview: BMW hybrids

POSTED BY
Evelyn Kanter

New York Auto Show 2017There will be more than 1,000 new cars, SUVs, crossovers and trucks on display at the 2017 New York International Auto Show.  Here’s a preview of the growing family of BMW iPerformance  plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) you can see, including the BMW 530e iPerformance,  BMW 740e xDrive iPerformance, BMW 330e iPerformance, and BMW X5 xDrive40e iPerformance.

The New York International Auto Show, at the Javits, opens to the public on Friday, April 14, through Sunday, April 23rd.

See our full auto show coverage.

Top features of each BMW plug-in hybrid:

The new BMW 530e iPerformance (pictured above) is the latest addition to BMW’s family of plug-in hybrid iPerformance vehicles. It combines BMW eDrive electric drive concept and a 4-cylinder gasoline engine, to achieve 248 hp providing 310 lb-ft of torque and a 0-60 time in 6.1 seconds.

  • Purely electric driving for the BMW 530e iPerformance is possible for up to 15 miles.

The BMW 740e xDrive iPerformance, is BMW’s flagship plug-in hybrid model, with the comfort and safety and convenience features of the BMW 7 Series combined with the virtues of electric, locally emission-free mobility. The luxury sedan gets its eDrive powertrain technology from a 2.0 liter inline 4-cylinder gasoline engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and an electric motor integrated into the 8-speed Steptronic transmission generating a combined system output of 322 hp.

  • A total of 14 miles in all-electric mode with a top speed of 87 mph can be achieved as well as a combined fuel economy of 64 MPGe.

The BMW 330e iPerformance adds a plug-in hybrid drive system to the world’s most successful premium model, the BMW 3 Series. The innovative use of an electric motor with the BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine, which has won the International Engine of the Year Award twice to date, results in a total system output of 248 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. The BMW 330e iPerformance accelerates from 0-60 mph in 5.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 140 mph.

  • Pure-electric driving is possible at speeds up to 75 mph with a range of approximately 14 miles as well as a combined fuel economy of 71 MPGe.

The BMW X5 xDrive40e iPerformance, the company’s first plug-in hybrid, combines the 2.0-liter TwinPower Turbo inline 4-cylinder engine with an electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery, integrated into its 8-speed automatic transmission. This SUV can travel approximately 14 miles on pure electric propulsion, powered by a lithium-ion battery, ideally suited for short commutes and quick trips around town yielding an impressive 56 MPGe combined,

  • The gasoline engine and electric motor put out 308 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, enough to propel the X5 xDrive40e from 0-60mph in just 6.5 seconds.
