In PHEV application it develops 210kW and 450Nm and the BMW eDrive electric motor contributes 83kW and 263Nm to the powder keg. This gives the xDrive45e model a total system output of 290kW and 600Nm sent permanently to all four wheels via a slick and intuitive eight-speed automatic gearbox. With that said, you can tailor it for a number of settings, such as mild driving autonomy using the latest self-driving technology from the Bavarian brand while you can also call up hybrid mode where both the petrol and electric motors silently work together in harmony to power the car while recharging the batteries.
