The BMW X5 Hybrid Is Coming
The mouthful called the BMW X5 xDrive 40e plug-in hybrid is coming to Malaysia. This X5 is powered by a 2-litre (not 4-litre as the name suggests) turbocharged engine and electric motor with a combined output of 309 hp. It sprints to 100 km/h from zero in 6.8 seconds and is supposed capable of traveling 31 km purely on battery power.
Not much information is available yet as BMW Group Malaysia starts of its #ElectricDrivingPleasure teaser campaign in anticipation of the arrival of the all-new BMW X5 xDrive 40e.
#ElectricDrivingPleasure highlights Malaysians making a difference through innovation, ideas and solutions. Beginning the campaign is Dr. Rajiv Bhanot, medical doctor, social entrepreneur and humanitarian who is taking on the challenge of ending water poverty in the country as well as the world with H2O Saver, a jerrycan which converts dirty water into safe drinking water. This water filtration system is based on nano-technology used by the British Military.
His story is told by Gordon Ling Fu Chur, finalist of the BMW Shorties competition in 2015 for his film ‘Tuck’, which you can watch at www.bmw-electricdrivingpleasure.com.
