The BMW 7-Series delivers an exquisite driving experience, and its plug-in hybrid BMW 745e xDrive is a great example of luxury and efficiency. By no means a regular or entry-level luxury car, the sedan aims at reducing your carbon footprint. This car is an upscale and extremely comfortable mode of transportation. So if you are looking for a luxurious large sedan, here is everything you should know about the BMW 745e xDrive:

About BMW
BMW is an automobile manufacturer that was founded in Germany in 1916. It produced airplane engines all the way up to 1945, when, based on the Treaty of Versailles, BMW’s factories were demolished. The company then began making motorcycles and other vehicles to stay in business. Apart from this country, BMW cars are sold in Germany, Brazil, China, India, Mexico, the Netherlands, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The company is headquartered in Munich.

Key features of BMW 745e xDrive
Engine and performance
The plug-in hybrid with an all-wheel drive system combines an electric drivetrain with a 3.0-liter inline-6 engine. The total output you can expect is 389 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. All that torque is converted into acceleration via the eight-speed Sport Steptronic transmission. The range of this electric vehicle is only 16 miles, and a power outlet can be used to charge the battery. The 745e’s battery pack adds some eco-friendly functionality to this high-end sedan, which can earn up to 56 MPGe in hybrid mode compared to a fuel economy of just 22 MPG in gas-only mode.

Interiors
The luxurious 745e xDrive is one of the most opulent sedans on the road. The interior is as exquisite as the exterior, and the occupants can experience the luxury of premium materials such as wood, metal, leather, and Alcantara throughout the cabin. There is not even a whiff of harsh plastic, yet soft-touch synthetics are everywhere you look. With a few add-ons, BMW’s top sedan becomes even more enticing. Further, you get extremely comfortable and customizable front seats with heating, cooling, and massaging function and leather upholstery. What’s more? The rear seat offers plenty of space, with headroom and legroom at 38.9 and 44.4 inches, respectively.

Technology
The technology in the BMW 745e x Drive should enable owners to ignore the battery range. The iDrive system from BMW is still excellent. Further, Apple CarPlay no longer requires a membership, which is a huge plus. With extra panels in the back, including an Android tablet with media and climate controls, the rest of the infotainment system is excellent. Additionally, you can use BMW’s hands-free traffic jam assistance to enable hands-free driving at low speeds.

Safety
The in-car monitor does an excellent job of ensuring that the driver pays attention to the road. The adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assistant capabilities are other key features you can find in the BMW 745e xDrive sedan. If the tires stop rotating while subjected to intense braking, the car’s ABS brakes immediately detect the issue and adjust the brake pressure to restore tire rotation. To help the driver maintain control of the vehicle, the stability control senses when the car’s handling limits have been surpassed and decreases engine power or applies brakes. The car is equipped with an anti-theft system for anticipating and detecting unauthorized vehicle intrusion. Further, if the original manufacturer key is not used, an ignition disabling device in the car will prevent the intruder from starting the engine.

Available at a starting price of $95,550, the BMW 745e is a stylish luxury sedan that offers all the key features you would want in a plug-in hybrid car.
