BMW will be launching its 7-Series ActiveHybrid in India on 23rd July, 2014. The German luxury car manufacturer is taking the initiative of getting alternate fuels and mode of transports possible. They had showcased the i8 Supercar at the 2014 Auto Expo and that is scheduled to launch this year in India.

The German luxury car manufacturer will be providing its ActiveHybrid 7-Series vehicle with a conventional engine paired to an electric motor. It will sport a 3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder engine. It will produce maximum power of 320 bhp along with 450 Nm of peak torque.

The German manufacture will get the ActiveHybrid to India as a Completely Built Unit(CBU). We expect the vehicle to cost in excess of INR 1,50,00,000.
