The BMW 5 ActiveHybrid sees the sporty yet elegant body style of the BMW 5-Series Sedan accompanied by bespoke touches which highlight the identity of their drive technology. The 2013 BMW 5 ActiveHybrid  lettering around the C-support beams, BMW kidney grille with galvanised slats and exhaust matt chrome tailpipes set the outside aside from another models within the range. Available being an option, meanwhile, are 18-inch Streamline light-alloy wheels exhibiting exceptional aerodynamic efficiency. The BMW 5 ActiveHybrid may be the only model within the BMW 5-Series line-up to be shown within the exterior fresh paint shade Bluewater metallic, and in addition it sticks out aesthetically all other 5-Series variants with door sill strips bearing “ActiveHybrid 5? lettering, an aluminium plate around the center console with similar ID, a bespoke engine cover and also the visible “ActiveHybrid Energy Unit” inscription around the special casing for that high-performance battery covered within the luggage area.

The BMW 5 ActiveHybrid includes a BMW TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder in-line engine, an electrical drive system as well as an eight-speed automatic gearbox the very first time. The most recent generation of BMW ActiveHybrid technology also adds precisely controlled – and for that reason very effective – energy management towards the mix. Which provides the BMW 5 ActiveHybrid a great balance of performance and gas mileage for that premium executive vehicle class. Its drive system creates combined creation of 250 kW/340 hp, enables the vehicle to become driven on electric energy alone as much as 60 km/h (37 miles per hour), speeds up the BMW 5 ActiveHybrid from  to 100 km/h (62 miles per hour) in five.9 seconds, limits average fuel consumption to between 6.4 and 7. litres per 100 kms (44 – 40 mpg imp) and it has CO2 pollutants of just 149 – 163 grams per km (figures based on EU test cycle, can vary based on the tyre format specified).

The BMW 5 ActiveHybrid features recently developed hybrid components which are combined the first time having a six-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo engine, and innovative functions for more enhanced efficiency and driving enjoyment. Simultaneously it broaches another market segment, taking BMW’s hybrid development work an additional advance. Of course, BMW ActiveHybrid technology emerges inside a form that is brilliantly modified towards the needs from the particular vehicle concept and market segment.
