THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.
THANKS TO BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS WITH eDRIVE, THE BMW i PLUG-IN HYBRID
SPORTS CAR DELIVERS EXCEPTIONAL DYNAMIC ABILITY AS WELL AS EFFICIENCY:
IN EITHER PURELY ELECTRIC FORM OR THROUGH A COMBINATION OF THE ELECTRIC
MOTOR AND THE BMW TWIN POWER TURBO PETROL ENGINE.
A sports car, a plug-in hybrid – designed in a single,
no-compromise whole.
BMW eDrive combines a weight-optimised
electric motor at the front with a petrol engine at the rear. The benefits of
both power sources are harnessed by an Intelligent Energy Management
system to achieve maximum efficiency. At the same time, the BMW i
delivers outstanding driving dynamics as a result of its bespoke LifeDrive
architecture and the fine-tuning of all the car’s components. No vehicle
has ever embodied the philosophy of BMW EfficientDynamics more
convincingly than the BMW i.
The electric drive system, adapted for the hybrid concept, offers peak
output of kW (hp) and maximum torque of Nm supplied to the
front axle. A highly developed BMWTwinPowerTurbo three-cylinder
petrol engine with kW (hp) and peak torque of Nm transmits
its power via a specially modified six-speed Steptronic transmission
directly to the rear axle. The electric motor at the front axle provides
the petrol engine with rapid support in the form of a boost function –
and, notably, without additional fuel consumption. This is particularly
useful when you want spontaneous, rapid acceleration, such as when
overtaking. An electric generator, positioned close to the BMWTwinPower
Turbo three-cylinder petrol engine, supplies the lithium-ion high-voltage
battery with energy in various driving situations, so compelling
performance
is on tap whenever it’s needed.
The BMW i offers a unique driving experience because Intelligent
Energy Management and the driving modes have been tuned perfectly.
The car always starts in COMFORT mode, with a balance between
sporty and efficient driving styles. Thus configured, electric range
is up
to km
, with a maximum speed of km/h. Press a button to activate
eDRIVE and a maximum of km/h is possible using only electric power.
