The BMW 3-series has always been the benchmark for compact luxury sedans. It has a good blend of performance & luxury. But does the addition of an electric motor help or hamper that performance & luxury?

Just like the BMW 330i, the 330e is powered by a turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. However, it’s not the most powerful engine that BMW produces because this one only has 181 hp. But due to the electric motor – which provides 107 hp and 77 lb-ft (80 kW & 104 Nm) – the total system output is 288 hp & 310 lb-ft (215 kW & 420 Nm). A pretty healthy sum of power but don’t be fooled because the car can only produce 288 hp for 10 seconds at a time in a mode called “Xtraboost”. Most of the time, the power output is only 248 hp (185 kW).

The 12 kWh battery in the BMW 330e 2021 holds enough charge for a claimed electric range of 32 km (20 miles). It doesn’t seem like much but most commutes are around the 30 km mark from the suburb to the city center. With regen braking, smooth throttle inputs & no climate control, I managed to increase the range to around 40 km (25 miles). Charging the car from a level 2 charger takes 2 to 3 hours and from a regular 120-Volt wall socket, it’s approximately 9 to 10 hours from flat to 100%.

The rear-wheel-drive version of the 2021 BMW 330e starts at $44,950 CAD ($44,550 USD). However, if you want xDrive AWD, then be prepared to pay a hefty premium – in Canada – as the starting price bumps up to $54,000 CAD ($46,550 USD). For that money, you get a slew of features that one would expect from a luxury compact PHEV sedan.
