BMW Active Tourer PHEV Concept - 2012 Paris Motor Show - Motor Trend

The hybrid equation starts under the hood with a turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder gas engine that is transversely mounted to drive the front wheels. Should this concept make to production in some form, it could be the first-ever front-drive BMW. Supplementing the engine is a BMW-sourced electric motor, which drives the rear wheels. The system has a combined output of 190 hp, propelling Concept Active Tourer from 0-62 mph in less than eight seconds, BMW estimates. Recharging the lithium-ion battery is done via regenerative braking or a plug. BMW says the concept can run solely on electric power for about 12 miles.

It looks like a small cuv phev similar to size and power of the c-max energi. Interesting that it has the hybrid parts up front and the electric motor in the rear.
