2022 BMW 330e xDrive Long-Term Update | Hybrid powertrain thoughts:
need to go a lot of places this spring, it appears. As such, I’ve been able to enjoy our 3 Series on shorter but more frequent jaunts.
It’s a quiet car around town, even with the engine running. The turbo-four runs smoothly and quietly, with a sound that is neither harsh nor particularly inspiring. With the windows rolled down, however, one can hear the turbocharger at work, providing a satisfying whisper that corresponds with the car’s accelerative forces. The two work in tandem perfectly to ensure a steady stream of torque as the electric power covers any turbo lag that might otherwise make itself known.
Lately, I’ve been able to do most of my local driving — mostly trips to my children’s schools and to the grocery store — completely on electric power. Unlike other PHEVs I’ve driven — our former long-term, for instance — the electric motor has enough power to keep the combustion engine from activating almost all of the time. Only a couple of times have I had to push the pedal past the palpable detent that causes it to fire up, and that was just when merging onto a particularly busy highway.
