BMW ActiveHybrid X6.

Summary
BMW ActiveHybrid technology combines superior driving dynamics with equally superior efficiency pointing far into the future, brining together both of these qualities to offer a truly unique driving experience.

BMW ActiveHybrid technology offers a significant increase in driving dynamics and at the same time reduces fuel consumption by approximately 20 per cent versus a comparable vehicle powered by a combustion engine alone. The result is even greater Sheer Driving Pleasure combined with enhanced fuel economy and CO2 management providing the kind of progress to make the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 a typical BMW in the hybrid market.
