ActiveHybrid: New benchmarks for performance
0 
The luxury BMW 7 Series and the world's first sports activity coupe - the BMW X6 - have established leadership in their segments. Now the BMW ActiveHybrid 7 and X6 are setting new benchmarks for luxury, driving dynamics and efficiency.
The ActiveHybrid 7 is powered by a highly developed eight-cylinder engine featuring BMW's TwinPower turbo technology with high precision injection augmented by a three-phase synchronous electric motor that together give it an overall system output of 342 kW/465 hp and maximum torque of 700 Nm.
Precisely controlled interaction between the two power sources optimizes the sedan's efficiency along with driving dynamics and motoring comfort. It accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in just 4.9 seconds, with average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle of 9.7 litres/100 km.
Its recharging capacity is eight times higher than a BMW outfitted with brake energy regeneration driven exclusively by a combustion engine.
Hybrid technology also offers new opportunities to provide additional comfort with superior efficiency.
