Review BMW ActiveHybrid3 2013
BMW is now re going to bring the design into a hybrid luxury car. Now the X6 ActiveHybrid will soon be added to the design on the design of the BMW 3-Series. Next to the new generation 3-Series, BMW has unveiled the official details on the ActiveHybrid 3 that will be put on sale in the autumn of 2012. Hit the jump for more details.
Following in the footsteps of the ActiveHybrid7 and ActiveHybrid5 will be a hybrid version for the next generation 3-Series. BMW’s plans to drop the X6 Active Hybrid from their lineup by no means belittles their intentions to move forward with a greener line. The future ActiveHybrid3 is scheduled to launch one year after the standard 3-Series, which would be sometime in the autumn of 2012.

Hybrid stickers are a must during testing because if the car happened to get into an accident, the police and medical crew need to be aware of the dangers of electric power. We first caught site of the ActiveHybrid3 as a prototype running some laps around the Nürburgring and although there was nothing on the body of the vehicle that could distinguish it from a standard petrol model, this particular tester had the obligatory hybrid stickers on the side and rear.

Engine BMW ActiveHybrid3 2013
The future ActiveHybrid 3 will combine a 306 hp six-cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and a hybrid-specific eight-speed automatic transmission with an integrated electric motor that can deliver up to 54 extra HP. With a total output of 360 HP, the ActiveHybrid 3 will deliver a fuel economy of 44.1 mpg.
When the driver applies more throttle, the internal combustion engine is engaged automatically, then disengaged on overrun. During overrun and braking, the electric motor acts as a generator, converting kinetic energy into electrical energy, which is used to charge the battery.

The electric motor supplies the six-cylinder petrol engine with supplementary driving power and can provide a boost function when extra-dynamic performance is required. It also allows the model to run exclusively on electric power (with zero emissions) for around 2 to 2.5 miles. Top speeds in all-electric mode range from 37 mph under load to almost 100 mph on overrun (coasting).
