5 reasons to buy the 2019 BMW 740 Plug In Hybrid

1. Many driving options 

Are you a new or nervous hybrid driver? The 2019 BMW 740e makes the transition to driving a hybrid easy, thanks to the many drive modes that are available. You can choose to operate the car with normal battery operation, battery charging mode, battery hold mode (which saves power for when you need it), or as a fully electric vehicle. 

2. Smooth ride 

The 2019 BMW 740e offers a smooth ride that will be satisfying to even the pickiest drivers. Adaptive air suspension comes standard, which you’ll appreciate next time you’re driving along potholes or frost heaves. The combination of a 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine with an electric motor delivers 322 hp, enough for smooth, sprightly acceleration whether you’re coming off a stop sign or merging onto the highway.  

3. Tons of passenger space 

If you drive adults, lanky teens, or toddlers with their bulky rear-facing car seats, you’ll appreciate that the rear seat in the 2019 BMW 740e is downright enormous. The back seat has 44.4 inches of legroom, even more than the 41.4 inches that the driver and front passenger have. That means everyone will have room to stretch out on your next road trip, or while running errands around town.  

4. Active driving assistant 

The 2019 BMW 740e comes with a few standard driver-assist features, including automatic high beams and windshield wipers. But to get the most out of this vehicle, choose a car with the optional Active Driving Assistant. This suite of features includes blind spot monitoring, emergency braking, pedestrian detection, and more.  

5. Great sound system 

If you’re the type of person who loves to go dancing late into the night, you’ll appreciate the sound system that comes standard on the 2019 BMW 740e. The car boasts a 16-speaker Harman Kardon® surround-sound stereo that sounds great no matter what genre of music you listen to. The available Apple CarPlay® connectivity makes it easy to find your favorite hits.
