2013 BMW 5 ActiveHybrid


BMW takes the development of intelligent hybrid drive systems to the next level with the introduction of the BMW 5 ActiveHybrid - another series-produced model in which a combustion engine and electric motor join forces to enhance both efficiency and the brand's hallmark driving pleasure.

The BMW 5 ActiveHybrid brings together a BMW TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder in-line engine, an electric drive system and an eight-speed automatic gearbox for the first time. The 225 kW/306 hp six-cylinder in-line engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology in the BMW 5 ActiveHybrid is the same unit renowned for its free-revving capability, pulling power and efficiency in the BMW 535i. In order to fully exploit the potential of the BMW ActiveHybrid technology, the intelligent energy management of the power electronics in the BMW 5 ActiveHybrid uses a host of innovative functions to ensure the drive system runs efficiently. All the hybrid-specific components of the drive technology and energy management systems have been developed specially for use in the BMW 5 ActiveHybrid.

Innovative combination: award-winning six-cylinder in-line engine, newly developed electric drive system.

The motor is supplied with energy by a lithium-ion high-performance battery, likewise specially developed for the BMW 5 ActiveHybrid. The integration of the lithium-ion high-performance battery into the luggage area reduces the load capacity of the BMW 5 ActiveHybrid to 375 litres, 145 litres lower than that of a BMW 5-Series Sedan variant powered purely by a combustion engine.

The BMW 5 ActiveHybrid has both a conventional 14-volt power supply and a high-voltage supply with an operating voltage of 317 volts. Under combined ICE/electric power, the BMW 5
ActiveHybrid delivers a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) acceleration time of 5.9 seconds.

Exceptional hybrid model, typical BMW 5-Series: highest standards of driving dynamics, safety and comfort.

BMW ConnectedDrive systems optionally available for the BMW 5 ActiveHybrid include Park Distance Control, a rear-view camera, Surround View, Adaptive Headlights, High-Beam Assistant, Speed Limit Info, BMW Parking Assistant, Lane Change Warning, Lane Departure Warning, BMW Night Vision with pedestrian recognition and the BMW Head-Up Display.

BMW 5 ActiveHybrid: intelligent technology points the way forward.

The
BMW 5 ActiveHybrid features newly developed hybrid components that are combined for the first time with a six-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo engine, and innovative functions for further improved efficiency and driving enjoyment.
