If you are told that a luxury sedan that belongs to BMW’s sporty M series can deliver mileage of up to 71.4 km/l – would you believe it? Probably not.
But this is the truth! The BMW 330e M Sport Edition is one such car that offers a unique combination of high performance, style and mileage.
The specialty of this vehicle is its plug-in hybrid technology. It has a powerful 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder petrol engine paired with an electric motor, which produces a total power of 292 PS and torque of 420 Nm. Not only this, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.9 seconds, and its top speed is 230 km/h.
Great range even in EV mode
After fully charging the battery of the BMW 330e M Sport, you can drive for 100 to 110 kilometers without spending any petrol. This means that you don’t need even a drop of petrol in daily driving within the city! And when you have to travel long distances, the petrol engine helps.
Talking about charging, it supports slow charger, which fully charges it in about 3 to 5 hours. In real life, this charging time depends on the network and power flow.
Number #1 in safety and features too
The BMW 330e M Sport is not only top in performance and mileage, but also does not compromise on safety features. It includes premium elements like level-2 ADAS, 360° camera, front and rear parking sensors, kidney grille, blue hybrid badging, cornering projector headlamps, and piano black finish.
Also, the stunning 19-inch M series dual-tone alloy wheels and red brake calipers further enhance its sporty look. The rear profile has LED lights, power tailgate and 375 liters of boot space which can also be flat according to your needs.
A touch of technology in the interior too
Once inside the car, you get a 12.3-inch digital driver cluster and a large 15-inch touchscreen that comes with BMW’s special UI. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity are also provided along with wireless charging, Type-C ports, electric parking brake, start/stop button, and drive modes.
The steering wheel is sporty and full of controls in keeping with the M Sport identity. Paddle shifters, heads up display, ambient lighting, and Harman Kardon speakers further enhance the luxury factor of this vehicle.
Will it be launched in India?
The biggest question is when will the BMW 330e M Sport be launched in India? The range of plug-in hybrids in India is currently limited and people are eagerly waiting for such options.
Mercedes and other brands have launched many hybrids in the international market, but such options are rare in the Indian market.
If this BMW car is launched in India, it can be a game-changer for those who want a balance between mileage, performance and luxury.
