the ultimate DRIVING machine charged up
The BMW 330e is one of a new breed of BMW plug-in hybrid saloons and SUVS that are changing the game for electrified cars. Like the rest of BMW’S plug-in hybrid line-up, it delivers more electric range, significantly improved economy and lower CO2 emissions than its predecessor, without compromising the driving feel you expect of a BMW. With stellar reviews in Autocar and What
Car?, and a hat-trick of What Car? Awards for the best Executive car, the best Plug-in Hybrid and benchmark Safety, the 330e has garnered expert critical acclaim. But your opinion matters, too. That’s why we took a group of readers to Goodwood to try out BMW’S new plug-in hybrid for themselves.
After sampling the 330e’s whisper-quiet 37 miles of electric range – and its seamless transition to a 252hp petrol-electric hybrid engine that oers economy up to 201.8mpg (WLTP combined) and CO2 emissions as low as 37g/km – they revelled in the added power of a 40hp Xtraboost mode that got them from 0-62mph in just 5.9 seconds. Talk about electrifying performance.
