In September 2013, Peter Wolf, BMW’s head of production line for large vehicles, said, “We are planning to have a plug-in hybrid vehicle in each and every model series.” Twenty months later, BMW appears to be methodically marching to this plan by announcing the introduction of the 330e, a plug-in hybrid version of its popular 3-series sedan.
The announcement about the 330e was part of BMW’s press release about its mid-cycle update about the entire 3-series line-up. The 330e will have an all-electric range of about 22 miles, which is a step up from the upcoming BMW X5’s 13 miles in electric mode. The most important metric for a plug-in hybrid is its all-electric range, because it indicates how long a driver can operate the car on electricity, and thus avoid trips to the gas station.
Total output for the 330e will be 250 horsepower, with 310 pound-feet of torque. Sprints to 60 miles per hour are expected at just over six seconds, with a top-speed of 140 mph.
