The German automaker has given the New X5 and X6 an updated range of petrol, diesel, and hybrid powertrain options. All models will be offered with an 8-speed automatic and BMW’s xDrive AWD system as standard.
After subtle tweaks, the 3-litre turbo-petrol motor on the X5 xDrive50i and X6 xDrive40i is said to produce a maximum power output of 380 bhp with 520 Nm of peak torque while the 3-litre turbo diesel is good for developing 298 bhp with 670 Nm of torque. Furthermore, all the iterations of the X5 and X6 feature a 48V battery that adds 12 bhp with 200 Nm torque.
As for the strong-hybrid X5 xDrive 50i, it too has received an update. The 3-litre turbo-petrol engine combined with the electric motor now makes 490 bhp with 700 of peak torque. The battery capacity in the four-wheeler has been increased to 25.7 kWhc helping the SUV to offer an all-electric range of 110 kms.
