Plug-in hybrid vehicles provide complete flexibility for everyday life and travel, thanks to their combination of electric motor and combustion engine. The electric motor allows for convenient, zero-emission local driving, while the combustion engine gives you confidence and freedom to take on long journeys.
Compare BMW plug-in hybrids.

Flexible. Intelligent. BMW Plug-in Hybrid.
Elevate every journey with the excitement of an electrified BMW. The combination of an integrated electric motor and the BMW TwinPower Turbo engine gives you the gratification of all-electric driving for local trips and increased efficiency on all your drives. Enhanced technology helps further customize your vehicle and your drive.
Combined for convenience.
Easily charge your plug-in hybrid at home or in public, across a vast network of level 2 chargers that spans across North America. Make quick convenient trips by using the electric motor, while the combustion engine automatically kicks in when you need it to on longer journeys.
Recover energy when coasting or braking.
Your vehicle regenerates energy when you brake or take your foot off the accelerator. This, in turn, converts kinetic energy into electricity, which charges your battery and increases the range of the plug-in hybrid.
Technology and optimization.
Preconditioning your vehicle while it's parked is easy, convenient, and ideal for extreme weather in winter and summer. Set the precise temperature in your car ahead of time to create a perfectly comfortable environment for yourself and your passengers.
Maintain a digital link.
Stay connected to your plug-in hybrid at all times with your My BMW App, where you can manage charging status, locate charging stations, monitor your electrical consumption, and more, right from your phone.
The advantages of plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Long range.
Plug-in hybrid vehicles adapt to your everyday life. If the fully electric range is insufficient for your journey, then the combustion engine automatically kicks in. This makes plug-in hybrids more flexible on longer journeys and independent of the regional charging infrastructure.
Convenient home charging.
Simply and easily charge a plug-in hybrid vehicle at home, just like an all-electric car. This allows you to save time and reduce the need to visit gas stations.
Exclusive lane access.
Cut even more time from your daily commutes—most BMW plug-in hybrids are eligible for HOV lane access with a single occupant in select states.
Designated parking.
Drivers of plug-in hybrids often benefit from preferential parking while charging, increasing convenience and reducing time spent finding a spot.
