I think this drive train absolutely makes sense. Home charge for 40miles on EV and stonking Turbo v6 for when it matters.

Hats of to BMW.

However is mated to an X5. I popped in to BMW earlier to convince myself I could live with spending money on an X5 and just no vomit

But a 545e would be excellent. Hopefully Jag will do something similar mated to their V6 Diesel lick

I think this is one of the best reviews I've seen of a plug in hybrid. He did real world journeys! I think right now in this moment in time this is the perfect combination ICE and Electric with an ok range.

I have a 5 series and would have the X5 over one anyday - horses for courses! The new X5 is lovely - try one with the pan roof wink
