The 330e and xDrive variants are powered by a 2.0-litre (1,998cc) turbocharged four-cylinder (B48B20O1) engine.

WASHINGTON: BMW in the US has announced that it will be expanding its range of BMW 3 Series offerings with the addition of the plug-in-hybrid 330e and the all-wheel-driven 330e xDrive sedans.

The engine is further supplemented by an electric motor - capable of 107hp and 104Nm of torque at 3,170rpm, that gets its electrical charge from a 34Ah lithium-ion battery located under the rear bench. This allows the 330e variants to sprint from 0 to 100kph in 5.8 seconds and onwards to an electronically-limited top speed of 230kph .

This makes it possible for the transmission to avoid unnecessary gear changes when negotiating a series of fast corners and, when approaching a vehicle ahead, to shift down early in order to use the engine braking to help scrub off speed. When in Hybrid driving mode, these sedans can travel at an emission-free top speed of 110kph - an increase of 31kph over its predecessor, while purely in Electric mode bumps that figure further up to 141kph .

Additionally, it sports new shock absorber technology by utilising lift-related dampers as part of the car’s standard chassis that contribute to the unique balance of sporty driving and comfort levels.
