BMW electrifies Singapore and launches BMW iPerformance vehicles
20 Sep 2017|3,964 views
BMW Asia and Performance Motors today jointly launched a wide range of new BMW iPerformance plug-in hybrid vehicles in Singapore: The new BMW 225xe Active Tourer, BMW 330e, BMW 530e, BMW 740Le xDrive and BMW X5 xDrive40e.


The BMW iPerformance Automobiles represent the most rigorous implementation yet of Efficient Dynamics in vehicles from the BMW brand. All iPerformance models allow locally emission-free driving without compromising on the driving pleasure one would expect from a BMW. They combine an electric driving experience and high operating range with functional excellence and everyday practicality.
The new iPerformance model designation is given to all BMW plug-in hybrids, also known as PHEV, and provides a clear message of technology transfer from BMW i to the core BMW brand.
By combining an electric motor that delivers maximum torque from zero rpm with a highly efficient and sporty engine, BMW iPerformance cars achieve excellent fuel efficiency yet superb dynamic performance. The iPerformance models also benefit from the transfer of technical expertise regarding electric motors, battery cells, and electronic control systems. Simply put, it's the best of two worlds: BMW eDrive and BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
Visually, the iPerformance range is differentiated with BMW i-style blue elements in the kidney grille and wheel hubs, a BMW i logo on the front side panel, and an eDrive logo on the C-pillar.


The new BMW 330e iPerformance adds another highly innovative variant to the BMW 3 Series lineup with its advanced plug-in hybrid drive system
"BMW believes sustainable mobility is the future of mobility, and in the first six months of the year, a total of 42,573 BMW i, BMW iPerformance and MINI Electric vehicles were delivered to customers worldwide, an increase of 79.8 percent on the same period last year," said Paul de Courtois, Managing Director of BMW Group Asia.
"Three years ago we introduced the BMW i3 and the BMW i8 to the Singapore market, and now it's time to take the next step and bring you our full range of BMW iPerformance vehicles so you can enjoy a dynamic driving experience combined with the possibility of electric driving with zero local emissions."
