Simply press a button to activate the air-conditioning control remotely. It takes around three minutes to cool the interior from extremely high temperature. Thanks to the electric air-conditioning compressor, this can be done without starting the engine, and is virtually silent. As soon as the engine is started, very cool air reduces the temperature to what is plesant.

Boost function efficiency

The boost function provides the perfect proof that increased efficiency can go together with sheer driving pleasure.

Additional torque is needed for acceleration, particularly for spontaneous overtaking. This is where the electric motor`s best feature comes in: high torque that’s there from the first rev. If the accelerator receives a command for sudden thrust, the electric motor is activated in addition to the BMW TwinPower turbo. This guarantees an immediate increase in torque of up to 160 Nm. The additional power is then carried directly tot the drive wheels via the eight-speed automatic transmission, making the BMW ActiveHybrid 7`s acceleration noticeably more dynamic.

By using the electric motor as a generator, e.g. Touch the brake pedal and the hybrid management system uses the pressure on the brake pedal to calculate the optimal interaction between the electric motor and the conventional braking system. The electrical assembly thus ensures the required braking effect. And charges the high-performance lithium-ion battery with up to 15,000 watts at the same time. The vehicle`s disc brakes are also activated as support.

Charge concept

No compromise in everyday use: the compact hybrid components in the BMW ActiveHybrid X6 are installed in such a way that there`s still plenty of space for luggage and for an active lifestyle.
