400hp TwinPower Turbocharged V8

The world's first hybrid Sports Activity Coupe boasts a 400-horsepower TwinPower Turbocharged V-8. An electric motor automatically gives the V-8 an extra performance-enhancing boost, and regenerative brakes actually create power each time you use them. All this means 20% less fuel consumption than a comparable gasoline-powered vehicle1 without sacrificing one ounce of exhilaration. And the unique powertrain enables the ActiveHybrid X6 to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds.2

BMW Approved Cold Weather Tires

BMW Approved Cold Weather Tires have been specifically formulated to combat the reduction in traction that occurs when the temperatures drop below 45°F. An optimized balance between physics and chemistry provides the superb grip that's required to keep your BMW performing like the Ultimate Driving Machine® on all adverse road conditions in virtually all weather.

Brake Energy Regeneration

The ActiveHybrid X6 can be driven on electric power only, on the combustion engine alone or with a combination of both power units. Depending on driving conditions, the electric motors may also be used for both accelerating and regenerative application of the brakes, in which case the brake forces generated when coasting and when applying the brakes flow to the high-volt energy storage unit to provide an increase in electric power. This energy, subsequently available for further use, need not be generated by the combustion engine and is therefore available virtually free of charge. On the road, the support provided by the electric motors in this way, referred to as ''boosting,'' serves first to give the vehicle incomparable spontaneity and a direct response; and second, to significantly reduce fuel consumption.

Two Mode Active Transmission

The innovative active transmission in the ActiveHybrid X6 combines two compact, high-performance electric motors with a transmission using fixed transmission ratios. These drive systems are connected to one another by three planetary gearsets allowing a power split covering the drive forces of the combustion engine and the electric motors in two transmission modes. Thus, a level of variability that is impossible to achieve on a conventional hybrid drivetrain is ensured thanks to the combination of the two drive sources, which are able to provide optimum power and maximum efficiency under all driving conditions and power requirements from the driver. The system also consists of a high-performance battery, power electronics with an integrated inverter module and the required cables. The innovative system in the ActiveHybrid X6 reduces fuel consumption by up to 20 percent in relation to a comparable BMW running on a combustion engine alone1. And, with the two-mode system, the electric motors are very compact in size–facilitating integration into the overall vehicle and minimizing an increase in weight, which in the case of the ActiveHybrid X6, is lower than conventional hybrid cars while still offering comparable power.

xDrive, intelligent all-wheel-drive system

Unlike other all-wheel-drive systems, we've built ours with rear wheel bias for surefooted grip on slick roads, without sacrificing the feel of rear wheel drive. It smartly sends power to the wheel or wheels with the surest footing - and it does so in milliseconds. That means under normal conditions, drive forces are spread out with a rear-wheel bias. But the moment the system senses excessive wheel slip, it subtly shifts torque to meet the changing conditions, offering maximum available traction and superior handling on all surfaces.
