GERHARD THIEL BMW X5 xDrive 40e 2016 Plug-in Hybrid 2.0 Turbo 313 cv 0-100 kmh 6,8 s 30,3 km/l

(from BMW Press Release) A Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) from BMW is once again pointing the way ahead to a highly innovative form of driving pleasure. The BMW X5 xDrive40e is the first plug-in hybrid production car from the BMW core brand. It expertly combines the versatility and luxurious ambience of a large SAV model with the superb traction offered by the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system as well as BMW EfficientDynamics eDrive technology for exemplary efficiency.
The intelligently controlled interaction between the combustion engine and the electric drive, which together generate a system output of 230 kW/313 hp, endows the BMW X5 xDrive40e with exceptionally dynamic acceleration while also substantially cutting fuel consumption and emissions in everyday driving. It returns a combined fuel consumption of 3.4 - 3.3 litres for every 100 kilometres (83.1 - 85.6 mpg imp) and a combined electricity consumption of 15.4 - 15.3 kWh. CO2 emissions come in at 78 - 77 grams per kilometre (figures according to EU test cycle for plug-in hybrid vehicles, may vary depending on the tyre format specified).
The use of BMW eDrive technology for exceptionally efficient performance as well as all-electric mobility with zero tailpipe emissions as and when required ushers in a whole new form of commanding driving experience in a sports activity vehicle. At the same time, the BMW X5 xDrive40e reaps the benefits of the technology and know-how transferred from the debut of the BMW i cars. The BMW i8 blazes a trail for sustainable driving pleasure with plug-in hybrid drive power, which can now also be enjoyed for the first time in a model from the BMW core brand.
Drive duo and permanent all-wheel drive for trademark driving pleasure and maximum efficiency
Thanks to its duo of drive units, the intelligent hybrid powertrain control and permanent all-wheel drive, the BMW X5 xDrive40e promises utterly effortless performance and supreme efficiency out on the road. Its drive system comprises a four-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and a synchronous electric motor integrated in the 8-speed Steptronic transmission. The lithium-ion high-voltage battery pack can be topped up with mains electricity from any standard domestic power socket or - particularly quickly, safely and conveniently - from the BMW i Wallbox, as well as at public charging stations. The high-voltage battery, which also supplies power to the battery for the 12V electrical system via a voltage transformer, is housed underneath the luggage compartment floor, where it is particularly well protected in the event of a crash. The BMW X5 xDrive40e offers a luggage capacity of 500 - 1,720 litres. The standard charging cable can be stored in a hinged compartment under the luggage compartment floor. The plug-in hybrid model thus provides all the versatility associated with a large sports activity vehicle in terms of not just its driving qualities but also its levels of spaciousness.
The BMW X5 xDrive40e furthermore succeeds in fusing its versatility and supreme poise with a level of efficiency that simply places it in a class of its own. Short everyday journeys in urban areas can be easily completed with zero tailpipe emissions, while actual fuel consumption is reduced substantially when driving for distances of up to 25 kilometres (approx. 15 miles) in urban traffic. Capable of consuming between just zero and 3.0 litres of fuel for every 100 kilometres in such situations (zero consumption - 94.2 mpg imp), the BMW X5 xDrive40e sets new benchmarks for efficiency in its segment. On longer journeys, meanwhile, when both engine and motor need to be deployed, the powertrain system that has been systematically geared towards maximising efficiency keeps the fuel consumption and emissions figures far lower than in comparable models with similar power outputs. Assuming the high-voltage battery is fully charged, daily commutes of between 50 and 60 kilometres (approx. 30 - 37 miles) can therefore be completed in practice with a fuel consumption of no more than 6.5 litres per 100 kilometres (min. 43.5 mpg imp), depending on driving style. What's more, when the fuel tank is filled to its 85-litre capacity and the high-voltage battery pack is charged, the BMW X5 xDrive40e also boasts the customary long-distance capabilities for travelling on holiday, for example, when it still succeeds in keeping fuel consumption below the 11.0 litres per 100 kilometres mark (min. 25.7 mpg imp). The plug-in hybrid drive system aboard the BMW X5 xDrive40e thus produces major efficiency savings in everyday driving situations when compared to conventionally powered models in this segment.
