As reported by BMW
Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey , The Los Angeles Auto Show will be the site of three North American vehicle debuts for BMW. The BMW ActiveHybrid X6 , which combines the Sport Activity Coupe concept with full hybrid drive to create the world’s most powerful hybrid passenger vehicle, and the all-new BMW ActiveHybrid 7 , the first sport luxury sedan featuring BMW ActiveHybrid technology, will be on display. The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car will also make its first public showing in the US as well.
The BMW ActiveHybrid X6, which will reach BMW Centers in December 2009, and the ActiveHybrid 7, which arrives in spring 2010, both capitalize on the options offered by combining an industry leading combustion engine with electric motors to create a powertrain with new levels of performance and efficiency. The BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept car demonstrates BMW’s EfficientDynamics engineering philosophy – that the pursuit of an enhanced, athletic driving experience while simultaneously lowering the consumption and emissions of each vehicle is attainable.
BMW ActiveHybrid X6
BMW ActiveHybrid technology offers a significant increase in driving dynamics and at the same time reduces fuel consumption by approximately 20 percent versus a comparable vehicle powered by a combustion engine alone. The result is even greater driving pleasure combined with enhanced fuel efficiency and CO2 management, ensuring that the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 is a genuine BMW within the hybrid market.
The drive system featured in the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 consists of a 400 hp twin-turbocharged, High Precision Direct Injection, V8 gasoline engine and two electric synchronous motors delivering 91 hp and 86 hp, respectively. Maximum system output is 480 hp, and peak torque reaches 575 lb-ft.
Precisely controlled interaction of the three power units optimizes the overall efficiency of the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 at all speeds, with acceleration from a standstill to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds. Top speed of the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 is limited electronically to 130 mph, with average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle improved by roughly 20%, and a CO2 emission rating of 231 grams per kilometer. EPA ratings will be available closer to the market introduction.
