The newest generation BMW 3 Series Sedan is all set to write the next chapter of this car's long success story. The new BMW ActiveHybrid 3 is the first full hybrid compact sports sedan in the premium segment. This car is the latest in BMW EfficientDynamics technology.
This hybrid combines a six-cylinder petrol engine and an electric drive. The outcome: 3 Series driving pleasure with fewer emissions, less consumption, and even more performance.
It comes with 335 horsepower and 450 Newton meters of maximum torque as standard.
And with 37 miles per ÚS gallon, drivers can experience that performance for a lot longer on the road with fewer visits to the gas station.
On top of the outstanding efficiency of the ActiveHybrid 3 is the Intelligent Navigation System. This system calculates the driving route, allowing the driver to drive the last kilometer of the driver's journey using only electric power.
This car is not an ordinary hybrid. The approach BMW took in developing this vehicle extends beyond optimizing efficiency and performance. BMW also optimized the car's architecture.
As just one example, storage was designed with a space-saving layout. The trunk offers 390 liters of cargo space. This makes a real difference, allowing customers full functionality in a hybrid. The ActiveHybrid 3 will be available starting this fall.
This car is the second hybrid-drive model in a BMW high-volume model series. The ActiveHybrid 3 complements the BMW ActiveHybrid 5, which is making its North American debut at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show.Source - BMW
