R&T gives the X6 ActiveHybrid its first drive


Road and Track magazine always put out great first drive write-ups and I was pleasantly surprised that they got their hands onto an ActiveHybrid X6 to do some road testing on this quick into the game. R&T go over the must know info about the car and give a quick thought on their two bits.

The following are some excerpts

Quote:
During full electric running, we achieved stints of about a mile in light city traffic before the gas engine would activate. Regardless of engine load or speed, the transition from electric to gas was seamless.
Quote:
We achieved 19.6 mpg (versus 14 mpg) during our mixed-mode drive.
I do look forward to a full writeup from R&T, but as far as a first drive report, its worth a quick read.

The entire first drive article can be seen here: http://www.roadandtrack.com/tests/dr...6-activehybrid
