A look at hybrids, clean diesels, and EVs rolling out for 2010
2010 BMW ActiveHybrid X6 and BMW ActiveHybrid 7 Series
BMW introduced diesel versions of its 3 Series and X5 early in 2009. However, BMW was part of a consortium -- along with GM and Diamler-Chrysler before the divorce -- to develop hybrid technology. Its version is called ActiveHybrid, and it's a wise move since Americans tend to associate hybrids more with clean air than diesels. For the 2010 model year, BMW will offer the ActiveHybrid X6 and ActiveHybrid 7 Series (pictured). Although the mechanicals differ between the two vehicles, they have the same goal: Better performance on the road and at the pump, with fuel economy improvements of up to 20 percent.
