Automobile manufacturer BMW is all set to offer a new diesel engine option for its 2024 BMW X5 and X6 cars in the European market.
This option will not be available for 2024 BMW X5 and X6 models in the United States. This new engine will be known by the name xDrive40d and will be available for cars from the second half of this year in August.
2024 BMW X5 and X6 xDrive40d Engine Specifications
The upcoming xDrive40d diesel engine for the BMW X5 and X6 will be a single twin-scroll turbocharger engine equipped with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology. This setup will not only assist in enhancing fuel emissions and efficiency but also play an important role in ensuring a smooth auto start/stop of the cars.
The turbo-diesel 3.0-liter engine will feature revised steel pistons to allow the cars to support high combustion pressures. The engine will also feature new solenoid valve injectors and an improved oil separation process. The new injectors will be capable of delivering extra fuel into the combustion chamber, thereby generating a cumulative pressure of 2,500 bar. The total torque will be 531 lb-ft while the total power will be 352 HP.
