The new BMW X6 xDrive50i, claims BMW, adds an incomparably dynamic variant to the line-up of BMW X Models, boasting a particularly sporting eight-cylinder. Displacing 4,4-litres, the new V8 power unit in the BMW X6 xDrive50i features Twin Turbo technology and direct petrol injection, allowing a maximum output of 300 kW throughout a broad range of engine speed from 5500 – 6400 r/min. Engine torque reaches its peak of 600 Nm throughout an unusually large speed range from 1750 – 4500 r/min.
The Sports Activity Coupé will accelerate from standstill to 100 km/h in a scintillating 5,4 seconds, with top speed restricted to 250 km/h.
The new V8 power unit is also the most efficient engine in its class, again according to BMW. Combined with a number of further technologies developed in the overall context of BMW EfficientDynamics, the engine gives the
BMW X6 xDrive50i fuel consumption and emission figures significantly better than other eight-cylinder vehicles competing with the BMW X Models. Average fuel consumption of the BMW X6 xDrive50i is 12,5 litres/100 km, while the CO2 rating is 329 grams per kilometre.
This new xDrive50i might well boast incredible performance, but you ain’t seen nothin’ yet: an “M” version of the X6,as well as the X5, is on its way and the 4,4-litre V8 of that vehicle will produce 414 kW, meaning a 0 – 100 km/h sprint in just 4,7 seconds?
