Meet BMW's i Series luxury EV and hybrid cars on the Main Line

BMW has nothing to hide. The brand recently released their Sustainable Value Report, which details information on BMW's key sustainability issues as well as updates on its goals for 2020. The brand already set new benchmarks with its electrified BMW i3 and BMW i8 models, the latter of which sets an unprecedented standard for sports cars with its hybrid powertrain. Due to these types of innovations, BMW places first among sustainability reports, as determined by the Institute for Ecological Economy Research. For the past three years, RobecoSAM AG for the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices rates that the BMW Group has ranked as the most sustainable auto manufacturer in the world. We encourage you to visit the BMW of Devon showroom to experience the BMW i Series of electric and hybrid vehicles firsthand.

A few years ago, the debut of the BMW i3 electric hatchback and BMW i8 hybrid sports car revolutionized the BMW lineup. Their innovative blend of luxury, performance, and efficiency now inspires the next phase of greener BMW performance, and it is called BMW iPerformance. The iPerformance platform takes gasoline-powered vehicles from the current BMW lineup and infuses them with plug-in hybrid technology. These greener updates touch on the lavish 7 Series, the rugged X Series, and best-selling 3 Series. The plug-in hybrid variants debuted at the 2016 Los Angeles Auto Show in mid-November and received rave reviews. They are powered by the award-winning 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline four-cylinder engine and an electric motor. You can familiarize yourself with the new iPerformance family below: BMW 740e xDrive iPerformance full-size luxury sedan, stabilized by xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD).
