As we move into our automotive future, it seems clear that electrification is going to be the way forward. With that in mind, the 2021 BMW 3 Series PHEV is your perfect transition point between the gasoline-powered world we’re leaving and the electricity-powered world we’re heading into. But don’t think for a second that the new BMW models for sale at BMW of Denver Downtown have lost a step – if anything, electrification is bringing even greater performance to the table.
The Pure Numbers
The 2021 BMW 3 Series PHEV powertrain features a 2.0-liter BMW TwinPower turbocharged four-cylinder combustion engine as the main means of propulsion, while an integrated electric motor is available as a secondary option. Together, the two motors make 288 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, meaning that the electric motor is worth roughly 40 horsepower and 77 pound-feet of torque over the standard engine, giving you an extra bit of gusto when you put your foot down. In fact, with this powertrain the new 3 Series will take you from zero to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds, nearly half a second faster than the standard 2.0-liter turbo model.
Regarding fuel economy, true figures have not yet been released regarding miles per gallon estimates, however it is rumored that the PHEV system could give you up to 55 MPGe. In addition, you’ll be able to drive for up to 19 miles on electric power alone. This means that when you just need to run errands or make a quick trip for lunch, you don’t have to spend any fuel to get there.
