2016 BMW 740e xDrive iPerformance Review - BMW is currently at a crossroads. The Bavarian brand known for high-revving, tire-scorching performance is now more in the business of making fuel-efficient hybrids and electric cars.
BMW is in the process of adding an electric or hybrid powertrain to every mainstream model in the Bavarian lineup. This is difficult for BMW fans to accept, as we’re typically the type to prefer violently burnt fuel over quietly efficient electrons. However the change is coming and there’s no sign of slowing down.
So we decided to jump on board the hybrid train and see how we like it. Or, rather, BMW allowed me to drive a 2016 BMW 740e xDrive iPerformance, a very expensive hybrid luxury car, because they might be a bit crazy. During my time with the BMW 740e, I came to two rather different conclusions about the car and sort of about hybrids in general.
But before we get into that, a little about the car: For hybrid duty, the BMW 740e packs a new 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (known internally as B48) engine that is paired with an electric motor, which combine to send power through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The 2.0 liter engine develops 255 hp and the electric motor to make 111 hp. Those two combine to make 322 hp, because weird maths. While 322 hp is relatively pedestrian by the luxury car standards of today, its torque figure is actually quite impressive. Actually, the figure itself, 369 lb-ft, isn’t anything to boast about, but it’s the torque delivery that impresses. Electric motors provide instantaneous torque, without the need to rev, so when combined with the engine the 740e develops peak torque at 1,250 rpm.
