2023 BMW 330 Plug In Hybrid review

1. Plug-in hybrid range 

Looking for a luxury car to suit your green-conscious lifestyle? You’ll love the plug-in hybrid power of the BMW 330e. The 2023 BMW 330 with the turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine, electric motor, and rear-wheel drive has an EPA-estimated range of 22 miles on a full charge (electric only)—enough for a full day of errands around town.

If you want to go farther, you’ll appreciate the 330’s EPA-estimated range of 310 miles with a full charge and a full tank of gas.You can expect an EPA-estimated 73 MPGe combined (electric) and 27 mpg combined (gas).

2. Powerful performance 

When you get behind the wheel of the 2023 BMW 330e, it’s easy to forget you’re driving a plug-in hybrid. This sport sedan can sprint from zero to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds (according to the manufacturer, when new), with powerful thrust from the electric motor. The turbocharged four-cylinder engine, electric motor, and 12-kWh battery make a combined 288 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque, and the eight-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly. You won’t mind doing carpool duty when you’re driving the BMW 330. 

3. Updated exterior styling 

Not only does the 2023 BMW 330 Plug-In Hybrid drive like a dream, but it looks good doing it. The BMW 330e got an exterior refresh for the 2023 model year, with a wider grille, sharper angles on the front and rear bumpers, and no notch in the middle of the headlight cluster. The result? A more modern look for this stylish sports sedan. Whether you keep it classic with colors like Jet Black or Alpine White or opt for the show-stopping Melbourne Red Metallic or Portimao Blue Metallic, you’ll love sneaking a peek at this beauty in the parking lot. 

4. Smart and useful tech 

For the 2023 model year, the BMW 330e gets significant updates to the iDrive infotainment system. With iDrive 8, BMW’s Intelligent Personal Assistant is even smarter. You’ll enjoy improved natural language voice recognition, giving you the ability to change the temperature or even open and close the windows or sunroof through verbal commands. If you’d rather use your hands, no problem—just use the gigantic 14.9-inch central touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay^® and Android Auto^™ integration and a cloud-based navigation system. 

5. Luxury touches 

The 2023 BMW 330 Plug-In Hybrid is a luxury sedan that’s refined as well as comfortable. While the SensaTec upholstery is supple and elegant, you can look for a model with premium Verasca leather seating in colors like Oyster, Mocha, and Tacora Red. You’ll love the power-adjustable front sport seats, with driver’s seat memory settings so you ensure a perfect fit every time. The leather-wrapped steering wheel is pleasing to the touch, and ambient interior lighting allows you to set the mood to your personal preference.
