The X6 ActiveHybrid Sports Activity Coupe
at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show, BMW will also present the North American
debut of an innovative hybrid concept like no other in the world – the
BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid. The vehicle is the world’s first Sports
Activity Coupe to feature a unique design of hybrid drive like never
seen before, combining the Ultimate Driving Machine with significant
enhancement of all-round efficiency.
Through its drive concept
alone, the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid allows far greater driving
dynamics than a conventional hybrid car and at the same time reduces
fuel consumption by up to 20 percent versus a comparable car running on
a combustion engine alone.
The innovative drivetrain and the unique concept of the Sports Activity
Coupe form an ideal match that is unparalleled anywhere in the world.
BMW ActiveHybrid technology has indeed been developed especially for a
particularly dynamic vehicle in this segment and for extensive use far
beyond city traffic.
In terms of its size, character and driving
dynamics, the BMW X6 Sports Activity Coupe is simply ideal for bringing
out the full potential of BMW ActiveHybrid technology, combining an
elegant and dynamically flowing roofline with the features so typical
of a BMW X model. Its design clearly epitomizes the full DNA of BMW X,
while interpreting the character of these vehicles in a uniquely
sporting manner.
