Plug-in hybrids were also on display. The 330e starts at $44,695 and will arrive this spring. It uses a turbo 4-cylinder and an electric motor good for a total of 248 horsepower. It can travel up to 22 miles in all-electric mode. The 740e utilizies a similar powertrain good for 326 total horsepower; it arrives this summer.

It is always nice to see interior colors other than black. The X6M below had a beautiful tan interior, while the X5 was showing off a luxurious brown leather theme.
