About BMW 745e xDrive
BMW has established itself as a leader in plug-in hybrid technology and has opted for the BMW 745e xDrive, the 7 Series PHEV. The materials used in the cabin of the 745e xDrive are of high quality and comfort, and the overall cabin design is consistent. Optional parts include entertainment screens in the front seatbacks. The removable tablet in the center console allows drivers to control just about everything in the car, from the blinds to the seat massage system.
The powertrain upgrade begins with a welcome engine change. The BMW 745e xDrive is equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-liter I6. The result is 280 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. It is also mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and an integrated electric motor. It produces 113 hp and 195 pound-feet of torque. The lithium-ion battery of the BMW 745e xDrive has a capacity of 12 kilowatt-hours and can be charged in about 4.5 hours when connected to a two-stage charger.

On the road, the smoothness of the gearbox is a plus. In hybrid mode, the 745e xDrive reaches a top speed of 68 km/h in standard mode, but the electric unit boosts the speed to 87 km/h. Of course, it's not as fast as a gasoline car, but acceleration is sufficient for city driving, and the gearbox shifts smoothly. When more power is wanted, the relevant parts start quickly and smoothly when the accelerator is pressed. And when no more power is needed, it shuts off unnoticed. If you want the transmission to be on standby at all times, choose the Sport option. It keeps the engine running at all times, so drivers can drive smoothly at traffic lights and in slow-moving traffic.
At first glance, the BMW 745e xDrive differs from its predecessor by a more pronounced kidney-shaped grille. In the photos, it looks a bit cartoonish, but in reality, the design gives the car more visibility on the road. This is complemented by parts like smaller headlights, a new bumper, and a higher hood. At the rear of the BMW 745e xDrive, parts like narrower, three-dimensional headlamp housings connected by a small light strip and a redesigned bumper with larger exhaust pipes make the car look more impressive.
