Overview
The 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Sedan fares well in the fullsize sedan segment. Adding $10,300 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the ActiveHybrid 7 hybrid carries a base price of MSRP $84,300, and is offered in a single trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 3.0L turbocharged inline-6 supported by a 55-hp electric motor. Mated to an 8-speed automatic, it makes 349 horsepower and 367 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 23 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 25 MPG on the hybrid variant, making the increase in sticker price worth it. Performance of the ActiveHybrid 7 hybrid also improves here, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. BMW offers the same 18 colors for the ActiveHybrid 7 hybrid. The ActiveHybrid 7 mainly competes against the Lexus LS 600h L Hybrid, the Mercedes-Benz S 550 PHEV, and the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid PHEV.
