The BMW X5 Concept eDrive officially unveiled at the beginning of the year, was recently seen riding the streets of Paris.

The BMW X5 Concept eDrive is ending up in our news again in some images, this time the model being caught in Paris wearing a slight camouflage.

We might think that this is not an ordinary X5, as it will come with some changes at the body, meaning aerodynamic roof rails, front left fender, revised front bumper or the 21-inch bespoke alloy wheels.

The production of the BMW X5 Concept eDrive will be officially set for 2015, at Spartanburg, Germany, with the model to preview the upcoming X5 plug-in hybrid.

Under the hood, the model will sport a hybrid powertrain, meaning a four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo unit, developing 245 horsepower, backed by an electric motor, which will come with an additional of 95 horsepower, hooked to a lithium-ion battery.

The BMW X5 Concept eDrive is capable thus of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7 seconds, with an average consumption of 3.8L every 100 km.

The Germans at BMW released official details about the plug-in hybrid version of the BMW X5. We’ve also seen a concept model with a slightly different name, the Concept X5 eDrive, sometime last year.

The prototype in question was meant to preview the production model which could be called X5 eDrive. Under the hood expect a TwinPower Turbo engine alongside an electric motor for a fuel economy of around 3,8 liters/100 km or 61,9 mpg US.

CO2 emissions will also be around 90 g/km while the 0-100 km/h sprint should be possible in 7 seconds.

If you want to go fully electric, the new BMW X5 eDrive should let you do this for around 30 kilometers before the petrol engine kicks in.

Details are limited for now but there is no doubt that we will see a premiere quite soon, considering BMW’s confirmation of the production model.
