BMW ActiveHybrid 750 Overview

The rear-wheel drive 750i and long-wheelbase 750Li ActiveHybrid are powered by a direct-injection, 440-hp 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V8 that is combined with a 20-hp/155 lb.ft. electric motor to provide a maximum system output of 455-hp and 515 lb.ft. of torque. The electric motor is sandwiched between the engine and the new eight-speed automatic transmission. A 126-volt lithium-ion battery provides the power for the electric motor. Standard luxury features include four-zone automatic climate control, power sunroof, high-gloss wood trim, heated and cooled 16-way multi-contour seats, voice-activated navigation system on a 10.2-inch color monitor, head-up display, power trunk lid, HD radio and BMW Assist emergency and information communications. Standard run-flat tires wrap 19-inch alloy wheels, while standard Park Distance Control with a rear camera, adaptive brake lights and steerable adaptive bi-xenon headlights provide active safety. High-tech options include surround-view cameras, high-beam assistant, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, dual LCD screens for rear seat entertainment and ventilated front seats.

The ActiveHybrid 750 is unchanged for 2012.
