One in Five Electrified Vehicles Were Plug-Ins Last Year None of them will strand you because they have a gasoline engine and tank. The others get you to work and started on your way home. round-trip commute, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Half of our favorite plug-ins go at least 30 miles, roughly the length of the average U.S.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, also called plug-ins or PHEVs, are the right choice for many drivers for much of this decade, until the number of public charging stations increases, battery-pack bang for the buck improves and overall prices fall on pure battery electric vehicles. It’s also the fastest four-door Toyota (only the Supra sports car is quicker).

The 18.1-kilowatt-hour battery is eligible for the full $7,500 federal tax credit. Although the sporty hybrid crossover is a concept model, a production version is expected to break cover sometime next year.The Toyota RAV4 Prime is as good as it gets in a plug-in: 42 miles on battery, then another 560 miles on gasoline. The engine specifications and performance figures have not been revealed. BMW says the Concept XM can theoretically drive up to 30 miles on battery power alone. The V8-powered hybrid can produce 750 hp and 737 lb-ft of torque, which makes it the most powerful Bimmer to date. The Concept XM is powered by a hybrid powertrain, making it the first M model to be electrified. Another exciting feature inside the cabin is the unique headliner with a bespoke three-dimensional prism structure that’s fully illuminated. The entire cabin is wrapped in vintage-looking brown leather with copper and carbon fiber accents. A massive curved display with the latest version of iDrive 8 is placed right in front of the driver.
The driver-focused layout of the front cabin is a modern interpretation of one found in the BMW M1. The cabin of the BMW Concept XM strikes a delicate balance between sportiness and opulence. The BMW Concept XM profile view is slightly odd, and I don’t know why, but I find a strong resemblance with the Lamborghini LM001 SUV. However, the windshield’s design is inspired by the M1’s flying buttresses, which is also exhibited by the two BMW logos. The roof has a very unique double-bubble shape that seamlessly integrates into the rear windshield, which funnily looks like an elongated Hello Kitty face. There are thin LED DRLs in the traditional position of headlights, while the actual headlights are hidden behind the aero elements above the front apron. The most prominent feature of the front end is definitely the massive kidney grilles that are illuminated with LED surrounds. The overall design is dominated by sharp lines and angular styling, giving the Concept XM a very aggressive appearance. However, if you look closely, you’ll find plenty of design cues inspired by the BMW M1 supercar. Starting with the design, the Concept XM is a bold and in-your-face interpretation of BMW’s current design language. While the M1 was a mid-engine supercar, the Concept XM is a burly hybrid crossover that’s meant to offer supercar performance along with the practicality of a big SUV. The German manufacturer has now unveiled its second standalone M model: the Concept XM. The wedge-shaped mid-engine car might be the only supercar ever built by the Bavarian automaker, which was a commercial failure it laid the foundation for the M family of souped-up BMWs. More than four decades back, BMW introduced its first-ever M-badged model – the legendary M1.
