BMW 330e (Touring G21)
BMW 3 series 2018 2.0 hybrid description
Estate car / wagon BMW 330e has been produced from 2018 to 2022. It has four-cylinder engine with displacement of 2.0 litres, which produces power of 113 horsepower on 3170 rpm and torque 300 Nm (Newton metres) on 1350 revolutions per minute. This plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) can run on either its internal combustion engine or its electric motor alone. Its battery is larger than those of conventional hybrids (HEVs) and can be charged from the power grid.
BMW 330e has AWD (all wheel drive) (power is automatically distributed between the wheel axles) and automatic gearbox with 8 gears. BMW xDrive is a proactive all-wheel drive system without a center differential that engages before the vehicle becomes destabilized, unnoticed by the driver. Torque is distributed between the axles by an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch in the transfer case. The clutch is partially locked at most times, distributing power to both axles in a 40/60 front/rear ratio, but the system is capable of sending 100% of the torque to either axle. At higher speeds or when parking, multi-plate clutch is disengaged and all power is transferred to the rear wheels. DSC system (Dynamic Stability Control) also brakes the wheels separately to regain traction and assist in cornering.
BMW 330e accelerates to speed 100 kilometres per hour in 5.9 seconds. The maximum speed of this car is 225 km/h.
