Overview
The 2013 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Sedan fares well in the fullsize sedan segment. Adding $10,700 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the ActiveHybrid 7 carries a base price MSRP of $84,300 and is offered in just one trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 3.0L inline 6 engine supported by a 41kW electric system. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, it makes 350 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy improves from 22 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 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. The ActiveHybrid 7 mainly competes against the Porsche Panamera Hybrid Sedan, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class S400 Hybrid Sedan, and the Lexus LS600h L Sedan.
