BMW X6

Since its inception as the first Sports Activity Coupé, the BMW X6 has been enjoyed by over 150,000 new owners worldwide. BMW are hoping to further boost that number with the introduction of an updated X6 Model.

Its front design now consists of a revised front.  The standard fog lights are now set in matt finish surrounds in the upper area of the outer air inlets. The striking three-dimensional modeling of the frame and newly designed bars, angled in the lower section, make the BMW kidney grille stand out especially conspicuously within the vehicle front section. As an alternative to the standard bi-xenon light, the new BMW X6 is the first vehicle in its segment to be fitted optionally with adaptive LED headlamps. Their bright white light ensures optimum visibility. The three-dimensionally shaped luminous rings of the adaptive LED headlamps are strikingly leveled off both at the top and bottom.

More aggressive front

 They are overlaid at the upper edge by an LED-fed accent light. The light sources for low and high beam light are LED units positioned on a horizontal bar at its centre, feeding their light into the reflectors in front. In the new BMW X6 M, adaptive LED headlights are fitted as standard. With its newly designed rear lights with LED technology, the powerfully shaped rear section of the new BMW X6 also features more intense styling.

Under the bonnet the V8 engine of the BMW X6 xDrive50i delivers 407 bhp, while in the BMW X6 xDrive35i has an in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine with 306 bhp. The in-line 6-cylinder diesel engines of the models BMW X6 xDrive40d and BMW X6 xDrive30d have 306 bhp and 245 bhp respectively. Both offer not only impressively sporty power delivery but will only need 7.5 litres to cover 100 kilometres for the BMW X6 xDrive40d and 7.4 litres for the BMW X6 xDrive30d. The BMW M Performance Automobile BMW X6 M50d comes equipped with a 381 bhp in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine.

Cockpit

Its unique triple turbocharging gives the world's most powerful standard in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine a thrust which sets in early on and is maintained right through to the high engine speed range. Its maximum torque is 740 Newton metres.

Side profile

It can accelerate from 0 to 100 in just 5.3 seconds while fuel efficiency is pegged at 7.7 litres per 100 kilometers. The top of the range BMW X6 M comes with an eight cylinder heart with an output of 555bhp. Married to the engine is a 6-speed M Sport automatic transmission. An 8-speed sports transmission including shift paddles at the steering wheel is also on offer. 

Restyled rear LED lights

Dynamic Performance Control is a standard feature in all versions of the BMW X6 as an element of the intelligent all-wheel drive system xDrive. This gives greater precision to the electronically controlled power distribution so as to optimise driving stability, traction and dynamic performance. Active Steering (not available for the BMW X6 M50d and the BMW X6 M) and Adaptive Drive (as standard in the BMW X6 M50d and the BMW X6 M) are offered with electronically controlled dampers and roll stabilisation.

New prominent front kidney grill

The progressive character of the new BMW X6 is also underscored by the extensive range of driver assistance systems and mobility services from BMW ConnectedDrive. In addition to BMW Head-Up-Display, features available for the Sports Activity Coupé include the systems Lane Departure Warning (not for the BMW X6 M50d and the BMW X6 M), Speed Limit Info, Side View and Rear View camera with Top View. The new BMW X6 is also optimised by means of intelligent networking with the integration of smartphones and music players in the vehicle and the use of innovative infotainment functions.

Large alloy wheels

The standard equipment range of the new BMW X6 also includes 19-inch light alloy wheels. In the 8-cylinder model BMW X6 xDrive 50i these now feature a new double spoke design in bi-colour. The selection of light alloy wheels available as an option is supplemented with a 20-inch version in Y-spoke, bi-colour design. An optional feature for the BMW X6 is an engine compartment lid with strikingly shaped powerdome which additionally highlights the powerful appearance of the Sports Activity Coupé. The standard leather trim Nevada is now also available in the colour Vermilion Red.

Improved rear design

The exclusive nappa leather option with extended features now includes a choice between the colours Black and Ebony White. The new BMW X6 is offered as standard as a four-seater model. A three-seater rear bench is optionally available. The luggage compartment volume of the Sports Activity Coupé is 570 litres and can be extended to up to 1,450 litres by folding down the rear backrests.
