How to drive a BMW X5 with no
local emissions? The answer is the BMW X5 eDrive and
its plug-in hybrid system. This latest video from BMW brings us closer to the
first BMW X5 hybrid.
Running
in eDrive mode, the BMW X5 eDrive powers all four wheels up to 20 miles and at
speeds up to 75 mph. Motivating the X5 eDrive is a 95 hp electric motor and a
four cylinder motor. The seamless transition between electric, combined
electric-petrol and pure petrol is remarkably smooth.
Pushing
the accelerator farther down with more urgency, the N20 four-cylinder motor
making 245 hp fires up and very quickly, yet, smoothly joins the acceleration
party.
To manage battery capacity BMW
has created three drive modes for the X5 eDrive, Intelligent Hybrid, Pure
Electric, and Save Battery. It is the Save Battery mode that highlights how BMW
expects the vehicle to be used. Going into Save Battery mode restricts the use
of battery capacity – allowing for a reserve to complete a journey in pure
electric mode inside a city core for example.
We had
the unique opportunity to test drive the BMW X5 eDrive back in April and
also earlier this year in France.
