DETROIT - January 13, 2008: In addition to the world debut
of its all-new X6 Sports Activity Coupe at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show, BMW
also presented 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 Sheer Driving Pleasure 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.
