2011 BMW ActiveHybrid 750 Preview


In 2009, BMW 7 Series broke the stereotype of BMW and was introduced to the market in its upscale distinction. The hybrid version was born around 2010 and named “ActiveHybrid 750," being known as a full size luxury performance vehicle with green aura around it.


Unlike the X6 Hybrid, ActiveHybrid 7, as a mild hybrid with a different electric drive setup, collaborated with Mercedez Benz during development.  While ActiveHybrid 7, or Hybrid in general, is not known for speeding and tuning, ActiveHybrid 7 is impressively economic with 15% or even more saving on fuel. Not to mention about being more powerful than 750i and 760Li, the 2010 models.

The 2011 version will be labeled as BMW ActiveHybrid 750Li. It is upgraded with V8 twin-turbo engine producing total 400 horsepower. With the 8-soeed automatic transmission and top speed electronically limited to 150mlh, the ActiveHybrid 750Li went from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5seconds.

Car and Drive had a road test on ActiveHybrid 750Li, their review says the 750L, from 0 to 60mph, is “ 0.7 second quicker to 60 and 0.9 quicker through the quarter than the last non-hybrid 750Li to wear our test gear. More (un)importantly, it’s 0.9 second quicker to 60 than the last LS600hL we tested. A brief blast around the high-speed oval confirms that the hybrid 7 rockets to its 147-mph governor without any of the lethargy commonly associated with hybrids. Later on, driving more like downtrodden suburban Americans, we saw 21 mpg.”
