BMW Group Malaysia has launched its first ever hybrid variants in Malaysia, the BMW ActiveHybrid 3 Series & BMW 5 Series in conjunction with the BMW Innovations Showcase at the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.
BMW Group Malaysia has now displayed its latest technological offering for the premium automotive industry as the premium carmaker unveiled its much anticipated BMW Vision ConnectedDrive Concept car as well as its BMW ActiveHybrid 3 Series and 5 Series sedans at the BMW Innovations Showcase at the Pavilion Kuala Lumpur.
Unlike in petrol and diesel variants, the Auto Start/Stop function in BMW ActiveHybrid models is activated when the vehicle is approaching a stop, and depending on the charge in the high-performance battery or its acceleration requirement, the engine will restart immediately after a stop or once the vehicle reaches 60km/h.
Take a look at the BMW Active Hybrid 3 and BMW Active Hybrid 5 in this video:
There is an ECO PRO mode activated so drivers can also experience the vehicle “gliding” with the internal combustion engine switched off at speeds up to 160km/h.
The petrol engine is deactivated during this process, resulting in zero-emissions while the vehicle uses the stored kinetic energy thanks to the Brake Energy Regeneration technology.
BMW Active Hybrid 3 and BMW Active Hybrid 5 cars to Malaysia. Fitted with the most advanced power train technology for hybrid vehicles, BMW’s Active Hybrid vehicles excel in all aspects of hybrid disciplines – output, fuel efficiency, range, all-electric top speed, acceleration and internal space and luggage capacity; all designed and engineered by BMW to deliver Sheer Driving Pleasure to its Malaysian customers without any compromise.
