I have received confirmation that the G30 530e will finally receive the xDrive version with MY 2020, SOP 07/19 in Europe (has only been available in USA until now).

I believe the reason for the xDrive version not being available in Europe is that the RWD version is 49g CO2/km rated but the xDrive version is 52 CO2/km, hence missing the vital 50 mark which just wont work in EU due to tax reasons.

One way to reduce these emission lower than 50 is to upgrade the batteries. I'm guessing here but could the reason for the xDrive finally being available in EU as MY2020 that they are upgrading the battery?

The upcoming X5 45e will have a range of 80 km and the upcoming 330e a range of 60km. The current 530e's 45km will hence be lower than even the 3 series.

Have you heard of a battery upgrade for the MY2020 530e?

And thanks for the info so far
