Overview

The 2011 BMW ActiveHybrid X6 fares well in the midsize SUV segment. Adding $31,900 to the price of the standard gasoline variant, the ActiveHybrid X6 carries a base price MSRP of $88,900 and is offered as a standalone trim. The engine on service here is a familiar 4.4L twin-turbocharged V8 supported by two electric motors. Mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission, it makes 480 horsepower and 575 lb-ft of torque. The combined fuel economy changes from 19 MPG on the standard gasoline variant to 18 MPG on the hybrid variant. Performance of the ActiveHybrid X6 hybrid improves here, with the car accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds. BMW offers the same 14 colors for the ActiveHybrid X6. The ActiveHybrid X6 mainly competes against the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid and the Volkswagen Touareg hybrid.

Buying Advice

Despite being a single-trim option, the Active Hybrid X6 offers all the uber comforts and hi-tech safety features. However, we also choose some add-ons like the rear seat entertainment system, ventilated and massaging front seats, an enhanced sound system, and sport seats.
