Unlike the X6 ActiveHybrid, this new ActiveHybrid 5 is not adopting the big V8 supercharged 480 horsepower hybrid. The new hybrid sedan brand propeller prefers a six-cylinder, but its performance certainly will not be back in light of the announced figures.

The ActiveHybrid 5 takes effect in the block version of the 535i (6-cylinder petrol engine of 306 hp), mated to an electric generator of 55 horses. The total power in working order is 335 horsepower with maximum torque of 450 Nm

Performance is outstanding with a 0 to 100 km / hour in 5.9 seconds shot. As for consumption, it is announced to 6.4 liters / 100 km in mixed use, to 149 g / km CO _2.

Note that the car can run using only its electric motor to the speed of 60 km / h, but on a limited time. In addition, the electric motor can take over in certain phases of descent, steady speed, or deceleration to the speed of 160 km / h.
