5 reasons to buy the 2016 BMW Activehybrid 5
1. A spacious passenger cabin
With enough space to fit up to five adults comfortably, the 2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 has room to take everyone along. For example, there is a generous 40.5 inches of headroom in the front and 38.3 inches in the rear, so even tall passengers will feel comfortable. Or, at 35.3 inches, the 2016 ActiveHybrid 5's rear legroom is enough for people to stretch out and relax.

2. Impressive standard and available features
A 2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 includes many features to enhance your driving experience. For example, get navigation, Bluetooth® connectivity, a 12-speaker audio system, and a USB input as part of the standard features list. However, if you want tech like a heads-up display, a rearview camera, and parking sensors, look for a 2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 with the Driver Assistance package. Plus, there's a 16-speaker Harmon Kardon® system available if you want to level up your road trip soundtrack.
3. Comfortable seating front and rear
You and your passengers will enjoy the comfort a 2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 provides. For example, the front seats are supportive and adjustable, with power lumbar support and memory functions.

Or, add ventilation and massage functionality to the front seats for ultimate comfort, found in the 2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5s with the Luxury Seating package.
4. Impressive driving performance
By combining the electric motor and gas engine, the 2016 BMW ActiveHybrid delivers impressive driving performance. For instance, the electric motor provides extra power while the gas engine turbo spools, resulting in smooth and brisk acceleration without the lag typical of turbocharged engines. Plus, the eight-speed automatic transmission is quick and responsive, which you can control via steering-wheel-mounted paddles for an added thrill. Lastly, the sport-tuned suspension keeps the wheels planted in sharp cornering for confident handling and stability.
5. Available suite of driver assists
Take the edge off longer highway drives and look for a 2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 equipped with the Driver Assistance Plus package. That’s because it includes a suite of driver assists that provide extra help on the highway. These features include forward collision warning, automatic braking, blind-spot monitoring, drowsiness detection, and adaptive cruise control. Or, improve nighttime visibility and look for a 2016 BMW ActiveHybrid 5 equipped with an optional night vision system, using infrared cameras to display potential hazards that might otherwise hide in the dark.
