2010 New York Auto Show: 2011 BMW X5 xDrive35d Diesel Appears on Center Stage
By Scott Doggett March 31, 2010
Among the many green cars to make a New York, North American or World debut today at the 2010 New York Auto Show is the 2011 BMW X5 xDrive35d.
Green? you ask. Green enough to merit attention, we say.
For starters, it's a clean diesel. Its 3.0-liter, inline 6-cylinder engine with TwinPower Turbo technology achieves 26 miles per gallon on the highway (no, BMW hasn't yet provided a city number) while meeting low-emissions requirements in all 50 state and generating 265 horsepower.
As for performance, BMW claims this diesel SUV can whisk its driver from zero to 60 miles per hour in 6.9 seconds. And that's in all-wheel-drive. For more on the vehicle, which starts at $51,300, visit the x5 xDrive35d page at BMW's Website.
