The latest-generation BMW eDrive technology has reduced the combined fuel consumption and CO2emissions levels by more than 20 percent from 1.8 to 1.6 litres per 100 kilometres as well as by 41 to 36 grams per kilometre.
The combined power consumption of the BMW 530e Sedan is now 14.5 to 13.6 kWh per 100 kilometres. Parallel to the market launch of the BMW 530e Sedan, the BMW 530e xDrive Sedan is also available immediately, which combines the advanced plug-in hybrid system with intelligent all-wheel drive.
The new high-voltage battery can be charged at conventional household sockets using the standard-equipment charging cable.
The battery can be charged in less than six hours in this way. At a BMW i Wallbox the respective charging operation takes 3:35 hours. The charging socket is located under a separate flap on the front left side wall of the car.
