A clear graphic in the Control Display shows 
power flow in the vehicle in real time; electric 
power is indicated in blue, power from the 
combustion engine in red. 

The aim of our engineers is to boost efficiency and at the same time increase driving pleasure. That includes ensuring you are initially unaware  
of the numerous new technologies when driving your new BMW ActiveHybrid. All the technologies and systems work behind the scenes so that  
you can savour your driving pleasure to the full. You’ll experience dynamics unmatched by any other hybrid vehicle to date.

YOU’LL NOTICE THAT YOU DON’T NOTICE A THING.

A bar chart in the new BMW ActiveHybrid 7  indicates hybrid 
usage. The display is updated every 6 0  seconds and covers 

 

the past 1 5  minutes: the higher the bar, the greater the usage 

 

of the hybrid system and the associated fuel savings.

In “Electric Drive” mode, the ActiveHybrid 
display in the rev counter of the new BMW 

ActiveHybrid X6  shows, among other 

things, the output of the electric motor  
in four stages indicated by blue arrows, 
while the rev counter needle stands at 
“Ready”. It means that, in electric mode,  
the supplementary start of the combustion 
engine can be precisely metered. This 
instrument also gives a reading of the 
charge state of the high-performance 
battery. In addition to this precise 
information, the gearshift paddles on the 
steering wheel make it easier for you to 
concentrate fully on what matters most – 
Sheer Driving Pleasure.

The new BMW ActiveHybrid 񂤂  allows a comfortable climate to be created inside the car before the journey begins thanks to stationary climate control, 
which comes as standard. Made possible by the electric air conditioning compressor, it can be conveniently activated using the car key and means 
the new BMW ActiveHybrid 񂤂  can be cooled to a comfortable temperature just a few minutes before you get inside – and needless to say, without using 

 

a single drop of fuel. The compressor also ensures that the desired cabin temperature is retained when the engine is switched off, at traffic lights for 
instance. Even if you briefly park, the selected temperature can be maintained for a while. In addition, there’s the option of adding auxiliary heating, 
making the new BMW ActiveHybrid 񂤂  the only hybrid in its class to offer the feature in combination with stationary climate control.

STATIONARY CLIMATE CONTROL STANDARD.

WELL-BEING AUTOMATIC.
