Overview
Cars like the 2012 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 Sedan might not be able to give you the direct benefits one might expect from its hybrid powertrain. However, its use must not be overlooked. The ActiveHybrid 5 uses its 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 engine, a single-motor hybrid system, and a 1.35-kWh battery to produce 335 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque. This gives the ActiveHybrid 5 a 0-60 of 5.7 seconds. The hybrid engine here supports the gasoline engine to boost performance and offer slightly better fuel economy than a single gasoline engine would be capable of. That said, the 2012 ActiveHybrid 5 achieves a combined fuel economy of 26 MPG. As part of the midsize sedan class, the ActiveHybrid 5 competes only with the Infiniti M35h Sedan. It offers a single trim, starting off at an MSRP of $60,950.
