宝马近日发布了2016款225xe插电混动车，该车将在法兰克福车展首次亮相。该车基本上就是2系Active Tourer的插电混动版，该车动力系统包括一台1.5升TwinPower Turbo三缸引擎，一台电机和7.7千瓦时锂电池组。其中引擎最大功率100千瓦/136马力，扭矩220牛米，电机功率65千瓦/88马力，扭矩165牛米。由于引擎用于驱动前轮，电机驱动后轮，因此这款车可以是一款前驱车，也可是一辆后驱车，甚至可在引擎和电机共同驱动车辆时变身成为一辆全驱车型。在最后一种模式下，车辆综合功率165千瓦/224马力，扭矩385牛米。性能方面，该车百公里加速时间6.7秒，最高时速202公里，百公里综合油耗仅为2.0-2.2升，每公里二氧化碳排放量46-49克。在纯电动模式下续航里程为41公里，最高时速125公里。当电池电量耗尽后，使用普通家用插座完全充满电耗时3小时15分。如果选装宝马的360° ELECTRIC充电套装，完全充满电耗时2小时15分。该车将于今年底投产，德国起价37800欧元（约合人民币27.15万元）。
2016 BMW 225xe plug-in hybrid unveiled
BMW has introduced the 2016 225xe ahead of its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
Essentially a plug-in hybrid version of the 2-Series Active Tourer, the 225xe features a high-tech powertrain that consists of a 1.5-liter TwinPower Turbo three-cylinder engine, an electric motor and a 7.7 kWh lithium-ion battery. The engine produces 136 PS (100 kW) and 220 Nm (162 lb-ft) of torque, while the electric motor churns out 88 PS (65 kW) and 165 Nm (122 lb-ft) of torque.
Since the engine drives the front wheels and the electric motor drives the rear wheels, the 225xe can be front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive when the two powertrains work together. In the latter state, the model produces a combined maximum output of 224 PS (165 kW) and 385 Nm (284 lb-ft) of torque.
In terms of performance, the car can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds before hitting a top speed of 202 km/h (126 mph). That's not too shabby when you consider the 225xe has a combined fuel consumption of 2.0 – 2.1 L/100 km (134.5–141.2 mpg UK) and CO2 emissions of 46-49 g/km. More importantly, the model can travel up to 41 km (25 miles) on electricity alone at speeds up to 125 km/h (78 mph).
When the battery is depleted, it can be fully recharged in approximately three hours and fifteen minutes using a conventional household outlet. Customers can also order the BMW 360° ELECTRIC package which includes a BMW i Wallbox which reduces the recharging time to two hours and fifteen minutes.
The BMW 225xe will go into production later this year and German pricing starts at €37,800.
