2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Sedan Review - Edmunds.com
Introduction There are a couple of different ways to think about the long-wheelbase 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 luxury sedan. The first is that it's not a very logical choice for a luxury sedan due to the price premium it commands over a comparably equipped non-hybrid 740Li. The less expensive car sprints to 60 in an estimated 5. 6 seconds -- same as the hybrid -- and... With such a modest margin at the pump, the ActiveHybrid 7 would need years to earn you back the extra thousands you spent up front. But perhaps you're less concerned with expenses than with the way your car makes you feel. We suspect that this perspective is behind the bulk of ActiveHybrid 7 sales. If you're looking at full-size luxury sedans, you know you're not going to get Prius -like fuel economy -- but every mpg counts. The ActiveHybrid 7's new diesel-powered sibling, the slightly more affordable 2015 BMW 740Ld xDrive , comes with standard all-wheel drive and yields 26 mpg combined, along with an adequate 6. 1-second sprint to 60 mph. Judged on its own merits, the 2015 BMW ActiveHybrid 7 is a thoroughly satisfying luxury car that anyone would be proud to own. Source: www.edmunds.com
