2010 BMW reveals specs details of its new Active Hybrid X6 Coupe

2010 BMW Active Hybrid X6 which made its debut in the Frankfurt motor show will now be available in North America in Los Angeles Motor Show. Active Hybrid Technology makes X6 Coupe a fun to drive. With its two motors, CO2 emissions are greatly reduced upto 20% with the same percentage of decrease in fuel consumption. That’s why we talk of improved driving dynamics and performance when we discuss BMW. The three power units (two motors and an engine) can deliver upto 480hp and 575 lb-ft of torque. This Coupe takes the electric drive upto 60 km/h.

The V-8 400 hp twin turbo charged engine has the volumetric capacity of 4.4 litres. Seven speed automatic transmission comprises planetary gears and four multi plate clutches which can be manually operated as desired. It is based on electric continuously variable transmission system (ECVT) which gives optimum performance at all speeds. The car accelerates upto 60 mph in 5.4 secs.

The single motor drives the car at low speeds while the other motor acts as a generator at high speeds. Any how, this coupe becomes an electric car at low speeds.

Sensotronic Brake Actuation (SBA) is a supreme feature that makes drive even more luxurious. This braking mechanism utilizes the regeneration energy to make the brake responses more effective from the conventional hydraulic braking systems. The pedal movements are electrically sensed which are controlled by the control unit. In case this system fails to work, the mechaical hydraulic system comes in play once again hence making the journey all safe and sound.

The new Active Hybrid X6 Coupe will be available in the American market for $89,725.
