最新报道称,宝马X5 eDrive概念车的量产版将于今年晚些时候发布,新车将被命名为xDrive40e。宝马在去年法兰克福车展发布了X5 eDrive概念车，在发布后不久，宝马宣布计划推出量产版车型。而据BimmerToday报道，该车将于今年晚些时候发布，随后将于今年上市。该车搭载一台2.0升四缸涡轮增压汽油引擎和一台电机，综合输出功率200千瓦/272马力。这款插电混动车百公里加速时间不到7秒。在纯电动模式下，70千瓦电机可使车辆最高时速达到120公里。xDrive40e在纯电动模式下最长可行驶30公里，而在混动模式下，百公里油耗仅为3.8升。不过，不要期望这款插电混动车的外观会有很大变化，唯一的变化只是在左侧前轮拱部位增加一个插电接口以便为电池组充电，而电池则位于车辆后部。宝马最早将在今年的日内瓦车展发布这款车，也可能会选择在9月的巴黎车展发布。

 

BMW X5 eDrive concept to get xDrive40e production version this year

A new report is indicating the BMW X5 eDrive concept will spawn a production model later this year which will receive the "xDrive40e" nameplate.

 

The X5 eDrive concept was unveiled by BMW last September at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show and shortly after its unveiling the Bavarian marque announced plans for a production derivative. It seems this will happen later this year as BimmerToday reports the car will go on sale in 2014.

 

It will have a 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter turbocharged gasoline engine working together with an electric motor to generate a combined output of 272 HP (200 kW) which will grant the plug-in hybrid SAV with a 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) run in less than seven seconds. The 70 kW electric motor will provide the car with a top speed in electric mode of 74.5 mph (120 km/h).

 

The BMW xDrive40e will have an electric range of up to 30 km (18.6 miles) while in hybrid mode it will have a fuel consumption of just 3.8 liters / 100 km (61.9 mpg US or 74.3 mpg UK).

 

Don't expect any major visual changes as the only modification will be an additional opening at the front left fender for the power connector to charge the battery pack which BMW has installed at the back of the vehicle.

 

BMW could decide to unveil the xDrive40e as early as March at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show or they could do it in September in Paris.
