BMW X5 xDrive45e: From the curiosity of an ideal commuter car

The hybrid system of the BMW X5 xDrive45e especially benefit two parties: the load masters and the manufacturer. BMW sells the Plug-in Version of its big SUVs for the price of 77.800 EUR. With 340 horsepower, the 3.0-Liter Sechzylinders, but without hybrid technology, the X5 makes around 5000 euros cheaper. Of August to a new list, which identifies the X5 xDrive45e to 77.300 Euro but. At this rate, the nearly five meters in length measuring end and with a kerb weight of 2510 kg reported SUV not naked on his big wheels on the road, but it offers plenty of room for further investment. We hold BMW to the benefit of, the abundant optional equipment of the test car was due primarily to our taster needs. After all, the tools could be in the amount of 24.380 EUR accommodated, plus 350 Euro “paint price” came this X5 xDrive45e on the handsome amount of 102.230 Euro.

among the advantages of the downloadable hybrid system, the electric range, the promise of low fuel consumption and good feeling for the driver, without your own effort on the well-known pleasant six-cylinder in-confidence. However, it is incumbent upon him to raise the externally chargeable hybrid system: It will load to the busy master. A constant amount of load operations that can run in the best case, during the night about six to seven hours from a socket at home or at the workplace in the troubles of everyday life. In subjective terms, the hybrid is just a long-distance of this BMW X5 to an eternal Pause. The only way the massive SUV can benefit from the consumption advantage of the support electric motor. It is produced in the sliding operation of the energy back, but this is the next acceleration process eats quickly. So the Hybrid X5 has to again and again to the power outlet, if its petrol consumption is to be evaporated.

Because the BMW promise with a full battery, a pure electric range of about 82 miles. But while our pure E-on trips, for example, with the Start of km 6353, was the traction battery (battery capacity is just under 22kWh) in the case of 6401 at the end of its propulsion possibilities: More than 48 kilometers electrically not possible. This concise distance revealed a curious finding: To drive the Hybrid locally emission-free and with the absurdly unrealistic WLTP fuel consumption of 1.2 litres per 100 kilometres, then he would have to immediately back to the outlet, and thus the large SUV, curiously, is the ideal commuter car. Because the saturated charged with electricity, in most cases, the emission-free way to work. With the pure electrical range of the X5 Plug-in hybrid, most of the commuters are to create paths or back well.

In our Exhaustion test in the commuter role with permitted maximum speed of the burner, took over and immediately smooth the operations of the mobility, i.e. the distance of 48Kilometern. The electric engine with 83kW of power is only to support the smooth and sophisticated running R6-Otto-internal combustion engine (286 HP) and torque of 450 Newton meters used, then the battery capacity and the gasoline supply of 69Litern to the on-Board computer, together, offer a range of 790 kilometres. Our test consumption was 12.2 litres of Super. This helps the father of a family on vacation, and the field staff between clients.

But company car users are advised due to their often little hybrid-friendly driving habits in the criticism. You tend to trust on the internal combustion engine and the time-consuming pull do not permanently end the trouble of charging. Now politicians have to remember to tilt the grant-in-aid for Plug-in Hybrids again. But that would not annoy the driver of the BMW X5 xDrive45e. The price for their proud carriage already on the conveyor limit.
