Spotted near Spartanburg is the production version of BMW’s first X5 hybrid vehicle, without camouflage!
Introduced at the Frankfurt IAA auto show, the X5 eDrive has the N20 four cylinder, direct-injected, turbocharged gasoline engine and a 70kW electric motor and battery pack for motivation. This differs from the existing 5er hybrid in that the X5 eDrive makes do with two less cylinders and nearly doubles the power of the electric motor.
BMW has created three drive modes for the X5 eDrive: Intelligent Hybrid, Pure Electric, and Save Battery.
