The new BMW 330e adds to the BMW 3 Series model range a plug-in hybrid variant that meets the highest standards of dynamics and efficiency. A BMW eDrive electric motor and four-cylinder combustion engine team up to produce enthralling performance and the driving pleasure for which the brand is renowned.
All-electric mode allows locally emission-free driving and is therefore ideally suited to urban traffic and commuting. BMW eDrive offers a constant 100 Nm / 74 lb-ft of boost and can also deliver brief bursts of up to 250 Nm / 184 lb-ft.
The high-voltage battery can be charged from empty in three hours from a conventional domestic power socket using the standard charging cable supplied; faster (two hours and 12 minutes) and more convenient charging is possible with BMW 360° ELECTRIC (including BMW i Wallbox); the ChargeNow mobility service allows extremely fast and easy location and use of public charging stations.
The combination of rear-wheel drive and more finely balanced weight distribution ensures hallmark BMW driving dynamics combined with efficient mobility and a long operating range.
The electric motor is positioned in front of the standard eight-speed Steptronic transmission so that the transmission ratios can also be used when the car is travelling in all-electric mode.
