So it creates the 3 hybrid in just 5.3 seconds from 0 to 100 km / h, top speed is 250 km / h On average, the ActiveHybrid should approve three while only 5.9 liters of petrol per 100 kilometers.

Inside can be found in the area of ​​the rev counter is indicative of the flow of energy and recuperation as well as a graphical representation of the boost mode, the electric motor.

After it was planned for the new BMW 3 Series in the development of house from a hybrid version could also be the batteries are housed flat space behind the rear axle in the trunk. Thus, the trunk volume shrinks to just 90 liters to 390 liters. The rear seats can be folded folded normally. At first glance it is not a difference on the other BMW 3 Series models.

In a first test drive, we were able to convince us then of the other advantages of the ActiveHybrid third

After pressing the start button, it stays in the interior still silent, as the combustion engine is switched on when needed. So you can also roll the first all-electric meters, then up a step on the accelerator beherzteren also the 6-cylinder comes to life.

As standard, the BMW ActiveHybrid has proven over the three 8-speed automatic, which are already in other BMW models has been celebrated.

The great thing about hybrid BMW, however, that the great performance does not need to buy with an increased fuel consumption. Even if it obtains from time to full power, the sedan is very economical. In order to achieve the factory specified consumption of 5.9 liters, but you have to move in EcoPro mode that trims all systems on absolute economy. But fear not, the ActiveHybrid 3 remains in EcoPro mode still extremely athletic.

Nevertheless, one can purely electrically up to 75 km / h fast be on the road, at least up to a distance of four kilometers. Fully recharge the batteries through regenerative braking or by the internal combustion engine on again.

During our test drive we were able to even long distances purely electric or the so-called "sailing mode" to cover. In sailing mode, the internal combustion engine to shut down to a speed of 160 km / h and isolated. The vehicle shall use the already generated kinetic energy, and it literally glides on the highway.

Professional who equips his BMW ActiveHybrid 3 also with the optional navigation system, connect the power electronics also intelligent. To program a route that allows a forward-looking analysis of the route and driving conditions for maximum efficiency of an aligned combination of the drive components. For example, the system detects a gradient is used to power the batteries to the point that they are empty before the next fall, since the batteries can be loaded through the downhill anyway. This reduces the consumption of the engine, and the journey is made even more efficient.

The BMW ActiveHybrid 3 combines driving enjoyment with fuel economy as perfect, but what could possibly bring one or two customers from the diesel hybrid in the direction.

The materials used look of much higher quality than its predecessor, and the processing has been very good. You feel instantly at ease and enjoys plenty of Civic luxury.

honda civic 2013 interior

Despite the sporting body, the Civic provides plenty of room inside for passengers and luggage. The seats are very comfortable, but positioned a bit high.

Especially when in ECO mode is traveling, you should change when accelerating out of this speed range, in any case in a low gear to the Civic back on their toes.

Who moves the compact Japanese at a high speed level experience, but a very lively and sporty car. Is one of the reasons for the sometimes meager power output, even the little the aging 5-speed automatic. These changes gear very smoothly indeed, but fully designed for fuel economy and a long translation provided, which takes away the power of the engine a bit.

Top marks there then in material handling, the 2013 Civic has a very balanced chassis, which offers plenty of headroom and allows for fast cornering speeds. Also the very direct steering like in this context.
