BMW has confirmed the Australian arrival of the plug-in hybrid 530e iPerformance, revealing the first details of the fuel-efficient sedan ahead of its mid-year arrival

The 530e iPerformance marks the first time BMW has applied its plug-in hybrid technology to the 5 Series, although the ActiveHybrid 5 provided mild-hybrid technology for the previous generation.

In the 530e iPerformance it combines a 135kW/320Nm 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine and eight-speed automatic with a 9.2kWh lithium-ion battery and electric motor combo that raises total system output to 185kW and 420Nm, the same as the similar 330e iPerformance.
