BMW has tackled many problems in the past, but this one is, by far, most controversial one - Performance Hybrid. As anyone can imagine, hybrid is something that was meant to preserve fuel and to handle fuel eficiency problems, C02 emissions etc. But BMW is not the only one in this confusing part of auto-industry. Many of car producers have their share in this. The idea which producers have adopted is to take a big SUV with very poor fuel eficiency, make it even heavier by adding a electic motor and a battery, and try to save on fuel by shutting the main engine when possible.

New BMW's X6 managed exactly that. It is using batteries as long as possible and whenever possible, making that 4.4l 400 HP twin turbocharged V8 engine consume almost less fuel than possible. With power plant like this, BMW also managed to create the most powerful hybrid there is. Being all that, X6 ActiveHybrid is lot more agile than you might expect. This is mainly due to torque vectoring rear differential that applies more power to outer wheel when cornering. This strange device makes car to make otherwise impossible turns. This is most appreciated when parking and navigatin in tight spaces.

The other features are quite a standard for Hybrids, except for the fact that X6 actually manages not to start the main engine at any pressure applied to the throttle. It runs consistently on batteries, and accelerates without starting that V8. All in all, this is a nice car to drive, and the excess weight by the Hybrid stuff hasn't make this car slower. It is even nicer to see that car manufacturers are doing something to preserve our planet and save some fuel, even if it means that this car is still burning more fuel per mile than most smaller cars.
