Design
Renowned for its dedication to building classy cars, BMW never lets us down – and the ActiveHybrid 5 is no exception. As well as the obvious aesthetic exterior appeal that comes with with every 5 Series, this BMW hybrid has plenty more to offer. Climb into the cabin and the tight lines and lightweight materials make the interior feel light and spacious – and boot capacity is generous too, in spite of dropping by 145 litres to make way for the lithium-ion battery pack.
Performance & Handling
When it comes to performance, the BMW TwinPower Turbo engine reaches top speeds of 155mph. With 306bhp at its disposal, the BMW hybrid sprints from 0 to 62mph in just 5.9 seconds – and there’s more. With fuel consumption of 40.3mpg and CO2 emissions of 149g/km, this saloon won’t break the bank when it comes to running costs. In all-electric mode, the lithium-ion high performance battery can power the ActiveHybrid 5 up to 37mph.
Features
Standard kit on the BMW ActiveHybrid includes front and rear parking sensors, cruise control, electric windows, alloy and leather trim multi-functional steering wheel, a Sat Nav system and Bluetooth connection. If luxury is your top priority, you can upgrade to leather upholstery and larger alloys – although it will significantly hike up the price. Whatever trim level you opt for, it’s class all the way.
