- BMW Group Canada presents performance models for today and the future at the Canadian International Auto Show. -

At the Canadian International Auto Show, BMW Group Canada reinforced how it is shaping the future of the premium mobility landscape by debuting two performance vehicles, one hybrid-electric glimpse into the future of sporty driving, and another limited edition, ultra-performance model.

Jose Casas, Senior Exterior Designer, BMW M and BMW i, presented the BMW Vision M NEXT, a vehicle offering a foretaste of the BMW M brandโ€™s electrified future, and which places the focus squarely on the actively engaged driver.

The unique combination of intelligent all-wheel drive BMW xDrive and cutting-edge BMW eDrive technology makes for sustainable driving pleasure in yet another BMW model, the new BMW X3 xDrive30e. The popular Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) now features a plug-in hybrid drive and power transmission to all four wheels, offering exciting versatility and a purely electric driving experience, as well as outstandingly low fuel consumption and emissions.

The newest addition to the M8 family, the BMW M8 Gran Coupรฉ, rides on a chassis and body which is 231 mm longer, 35.5 mm wider, and 73.6 mm taller with a wheelbase increased by 200 mm. This adds extra stability, comfort and rear interior space without affecting agility, and allows drivers to share uncompromised luxury and near-supercar levels of performance with family and friends.
BMW Group Canadaโ€™s presence at the Canadian International Auto Show brought performance and electrification together, illustrating how the German automakerโ€™s product portfolio is ready to meet the needs of Canadians now and in the future.
