Caralogy Verdict

Suitable for

Demanding drivers: 2nd of 7 in 0–100 km/h (5.6 s), 2nd of 7 in Power-to-weight (198 hp/t). 2nd of 7 in 0–100 km/h (5.6 s), 2nd of 7 in Power-to-weight (198 hp/t).

Less suitable for

Frequent urban trips with stop-and-go. At 9,9 L/100 km on the combined cycle, consumption rises in the city without electric assistance. An HEV or PHEV would be more economical for this use profile.

Alternatives to consider

If the priority is 0–100 km/h, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (1st with 4.5 s) takes the lead. If the priority is Top speed, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo (1st with 278 km/h) takes the lead.

Acceleration: 5.6 s 0-100 (2nd of 7 in 0–100 km/h)

In pure acceleration, the ActiveHybrid X6 ranks 2nd of 7 in 0–100 km/h, 1.1 s off the reference Porsche Cayenne Turbo (4.5 s).

Top speed: 236 km/h (5th of 7 in Top speed)

Top speed of 236 km/h. The segment reference reaches 278 km/h.

Frequently asked questions

BMW ActiveHybrid X6: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the ActiveHybrid X6 rank in its segment?#

Among the 7 E-SUV 2007–2011, the ActiveHybrid X6 ranks 2nd of 7 in 0–100 km/h (5.6 s, behind the Porsche Cayenne Turbo), 5th of 7 in Top speed (236 km/h, behind the Porsche Cayenne Turbo), 2nd of 7 in Power-to-weight (198 hp/t, behind the Porsche Cayenne Turbo).

How much does the ActiveHybrid X6 cost to run?#

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Porsche Cayenne Turbo instead?#

The Porsche Cayenne Turbo leads in 0–100 km/h (4.5 s vs 5.6 s). The choice depends on your priorities: check the ActiveHybrid X6 vs Porsche Cayenne Turbo duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?#

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
