Car New | Sixth iPerformance model joins BMW ranks with 530e
BMW has added another plug-in hybrid model to its proliferating electrified, model range with a 530e rolling out at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) next month, ahead of its arrival Down Under in the middle of 2017.
Local pricing has not yet been confirmed but BMW Group Australia product communications manager, Adam Davis said a figure would follow the full option pricing announcement of its 5 Series siblings.
He said.»We’re still finalising option pricing for the initial (5 Series) range, so 530e will be next,»
If it is given a similar price difference as the smaller 330e and 330i, the 530e is not expected to carry a significant premium over the 530i, with which it is related. Customers are asked just $2000 extra for the $71,990, before on-roads, 330e compared with the 330i.
The next-generation 5 Series range will kick off with four variants starting with the $93,900 520d, the 530i carries a $108,900 ticket, while the range is rounded out with 530d for $119,900 and the 340i priced at $136,900.
Exact timing is also yet to be confirmed, «still nothing specific for here,» said Mr Davis, but typical production lead times would see the 530e touching down in Australia from the middle of 2017.
Its powertrain is shared with the 330e, the same combination of 70kW/250Nm electric motor and 135kW/320Nm 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder petrol engine for a team effort of 185kW and 420Nm, which gets to the tarmac via an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive.
