Blending high performance with class-leading fuel economy and CO2 emissions is also a trait of the BMW X6 xDrive35d. Powered by an award-winning twin-turbocharged six-cylinder diesel engine with third generation common-rail technology, the X6 xDrive35d produces 286hp at 4400rpm. Peak torque is 428 lb-ft and this is attained from 1750rpm through to 2250rpm. The near instantaneous peak torque figure delivers swift acceleration in all situations: 0-62mph is achieved in 6.9sec before the vehicle continues on to a top speed of 147mph. Fuel consumption is equally impressive with the X6 xDrive35d returning 34.0mpg on the combined cycle.
The BMW X6 is aimed at the enthusiastic driver and, courtesy of BMW's EfficientDynamics technology, its all round performance is enhanced by a number of intelligent features.
Brake Energy Regeneration, incorporating an Intelligent Alternator Control and an Absorbent Glass Mat battery to recycle previously lost energy, ensures unrivalled fuel consumption in the X6. This is achieved as the alternator reduces drag on the engine by only engaging when required to charge the battery. Normally a traditional alternator is constantly draining power from the engine. Additionally, the energy generated by the engine on over-run (under braking or descending a hill) was also previously wasted. Now this "lost energy" is used by the alternator to charge the battery.
Reduced rolling resistance tires featuring special heat-resistant, anti-distortion materials in the tread and sidewalls lower emissions and improve fuel efficiency on the X6.
The Sports Activity Coup comes with low friction transmission fluids for efficient running and active aerodynamics to regulate air flow to the engine. This enables the engine to always work at its optimum efficiency for the benefit of power and economy.
Dynamic Performance Control makes its world debut on the BMW X6. Dynamic Performance Control works by spreading drive forces from side to side at the two rear wheels as required in a given situation.
Dynamic Performance Control is unique. It is the only system of its kind in the world able to provide its stabilizing effect both under power and with the engine on overrun. The system works by detecting possible over- or understeer. When this occurs, Dynamic Performance Control will vary the distribution of drive forces between the wheels for perfect stability, dynamic traction, and forward motion.
