BMW 3: HYBRID
In the HYBRID driving mode, the vehicle chooses the optimum drive combination depending on the state of charge of the high-voltage battery unit and accelerator pedal position. If the driver's power request exceeds the maximum available electrical power, the combustion engine is activated automatically and comfortably.

G20 PHEV, HYBRID driving mode attributes
The HYBRID driving mode is available with 2 attributes:
- STANDARD
- ECO PRO
STANDARD
The attribute of the HYBRID STANDARD driving mode corresponds to the combination of COMFORT and Auto eDrive mode from the F30 PHEV. HYBRID STANDARD is always active after a new vehicle start.
Exception:
- The gear selector switch is in Sport/Manual mode.
- The ELECTRIC INDIVIDUAL driving mode has been selected as the standard driving mode and is available.
The HYBRID STANDARD mode can in principle be divided into 2 parts: The charge depleting phase and the charge sustaining phase.
In the charge depleting phase the G20 PHEV can be driven electrically up to approximately 68 mph (110 km/h). The combustion engine is activated at speeds above 68 mph (110 km/h) or for high power requirements. The combustion engine is switched off if the speed falls below 65 mph (105 km/h) into the electric driving range.
In the charge sustaining phase, accelerations up to approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) and constant- speed driving up to approximately 37 mph (60 km/h) are possible as all-electric driving. During operation at low speeds, driving states in which the combustion engine is off alternate with driving states in which the combustion engine is running.
Outside this efficiency-optimized eDrive range, the combustion engine is automatically started in case of high load and speed demands.
In general, the following applies to the electric drive: If the vehicle is driven after a long immobilization period at very cold ambient temperatures, this may result in a power reduction of the electrical drive or it may not be available at all. A reason for this may be an excessively low cell temperature in the cell modules of the high-voltage battery unit.
