BMW hybrids are special in that they carry the sporty yet suave flair, the capability attenuated by civility, and the X-factor synonymous with the German automaker, not to mention all the benefits of gas/electric technology, to boot. They are also presented in a number of configurations, including crossovers, SUVs, and sports cars.

What to Consider When Buying a Plug-in BMW

Despite the rise of EVs in the US, hybrid vehicles remain relevant and popular, especially among premium cars where the uptake of electric technology has been slow. However, in BMW hybrid cars, improved fuel economy might not be worth the cost in performance, even if it also results in a stronger focus on comfort. There are already premium rivals that offer this, so how does BMW compare?

Pros

Coherent blend of gas and electric power
Master craftsmanship and premium quality
Sporty yet sophisticated exterior aesthetics
Lowered fuel consumption and emissions
A variety of hybrid BMW cars are offered

Cons

The entire selection is rather expensive
Packages and options cost a lot extra
Often compromises trunk capacity

FAQs

What are the best BMW electric hybrids?

You get a few options to choose from, including several sedan and SUV models. If you want the best value for money, the 3 Series is the smart choice, but if you aren’t willing to sacrifice performance in the name of economy, the 7 Series may be more your speed. Of course, if you have a family to think about, the X5 Hybrid offers improved practicality. But if you really want to show off, the Alpina XB7 is the best combination of all these qualities in one very expensive package.

How much does a new BMW PHEV cost?

The pricing of hybrids is always higher than gas-only models, but you don’t have to take out a second mortgage just to save a few bucks on gas. The compact 3 Series hybrid is the cheapest at around $45,000, while the larger 5 Series is closer to $60,000. If an SUV is more to your liking, the X5 Hybrid has a reasonable price tag of around $65,000. But, if money isn’t an issue at all, the ultra-luxurious Alpina XB7 will set you back a hefty $145k, while the sole hybrid M model, the XM, costs around $160k.

What’s the most fuel-efficient BMW hybrid car?

Hybrid generally boasts impressive mileage figures, but the PHEV range from BMW is far from competitive. With its restrained specs of 288 horsepower and 310 lb-ft, the small 3 Series gets just 67 MPGe with combined driving, or 25 mpg when the charge in the battery runs out.

How reliable are BMW hybrids?

BMW is not known for having particularly high reliability, but its hybrids are not as high-performance or -maintenance, making them slightly more dependable.
