Overview
The 2014 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 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-six 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. The performance of the ActiveHybrid 7 remains at par with the gasoline variant, 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 S E Hybrid Sedan and the Lexus LS600h L Sedan.
