Producing 400 hp at 5500 rpm along with 450 lb-ft of torque between 1800 rpm and 4500 rpm, the V8 delivers 50 more hp and 100 lb-ft of additional torque compared with the X5's naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V8. That's enough power to launch the X6 from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds--faster than a 650i automatic--while giving it a top speed limited to 150 mph and a claimed combined fuel economy of 22 mpg.

of course still doesn't tell us if this was for US version or export version. |
My guess is 17.6 (18) MPG HWY U.S. which is 22MPG imperial gallons.
Remember imperial gallons are 20% higher.
I would say the facts are wrong out there. It is quite common to have the wrong info in the automotive press.
Common sense suggests even with Batman and Robbin tuning kit, no way the truck would get 18 mixed, let alone 22.
