BMW has released a video detailing theupdated X5 eDrive concept which previews a production plug-in hybrid version of the Sport Activity Vehicle (SAV).
The Bavarian marque is determined to launch a plug-in hybrid version of the third-gen X5 and this should be out in the months to come with virtually the same specifications as the updated X5 eDrive concept featured in this video. It will combine a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine with an electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack installed under the luggage area.
The conventional engine puts out 245 PS & 350 Nm while the electric motor delivers an additional 95 PS & 250 Nm creating a combined output of 340 PS (250 kW) and 600 Nm (442 lb-ft). It's enough for a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in less than seven seconds when the powers of both engines are combined. Running in electric mode grants the vehicle with a maximum range of up to 20 miles (32 km) and a maximum speed of 75 mph (120 km/h).
