BMW X6
As you go up the BMW X Series ladder, the cars get more sophisticated than the earlier generation. The BMW X6, with its uncompromising and non-conformist appearance, stands for sheer provocative self-assertiveness. The BMW X6 athletic body and new design language is an absolute giveaway of its absolute dominance.

The iconic BMW X6 is a purely petrol-driven vehicle coming in two versions, xDrive40i M Sport and xDrive 40i xLine. The pricing for both these stylish cars starts from Rs 96.90 lakhs (ex-showroom, India). These cars deliver a decent mileage performance of 10.31 kmpl, despite the massive size.

BMW X6 Exteriors

When you stare at the BMW X6, you cannot miss out on the BMW Kidney Grille' Iconic Glow' or the BMW Laserlight as it showcases its flamboyance and pioneering spirit. Besides the robust frontal fascia, the BMW X6 rear apron element in Aluminium satinated look and the side skirts make you lick your lips in excitement as you dream about your next adventure on this magnificent car.

The BMW Laserlight headlamps can illuminate a distance up to 500m, twice the distance of the standard headlights, to enhance road visibility. In addition, the Welcome Light carpet function creates a welcome surrounding ambience when you decide to step into the car.

The panoramic glass roof allows fresh sunlight and air to enter the vehicle to liven up your moods. In addition, the smooth slide and lift operating system and the roller sunblind and wind deflectors make for an incredible combination.
The M Carbon Mirror Caps give a new meaning to the powerful and sporty design of this vehicle. In addition, the M Carbon Rear Spoiler takes the design one step ahead and reduces unwanted aerodynamic uplift on the rear axle.
The 21-inches M Light alloy wheels add to the vehicle's overall elegance quotient.

BMW X6 Interiors

While the Welcome Light Carpet entices you to board the vehicle, the ambient lighting inside the car can make life most comfortable by creating a cosy lighting atmosphere in the interior. Six dimmable light designs allow you to choose one that matches your mood the best.

As you settle inside the driver seat, the first thing that catches your attention is the Crafted Clarity glass elements for the gear selector, volume control, iDrive Controller, and Start/Stop button. The wireless charging adds to the luxury quotient by allowing you to charge your high-end smartphones comfortably. In addition, it features a second microphone to enable a better hands-free voice quality for you or your front-seat co-passenger.

The upholstery for front and rear seats provide an out-of-the-world luxurious experience. In addition, the rear-seat passengers get individual high-resolution 10.2-inches color screens with a touch function that can be tilted according to your convenience. Besides, the Blu-Ray drive enables you to watch the content you want in total privacy, regardless of what your co-passenger watches.

The ambient air package function comes with a fragrance dispersal and air ionisation feature to make the interiors seem the most comfortable.

Passengers can enjoy the Harman Kardon Surround System with its 464W digital amplifier, nine channels, and 16 speakers. In addition, the vehicle-specific speed-dependent equalising function compensates for the background driving noise and immerses you in your favourite music.

BMW X6 Engine and Performance

The BMW X6 redefines driving dynamics with its 340hp 6-cylinder petrol engine. Besides an exquisite driving feel, the vehicle delivers a decent mileage of 10.3kmpl, excellent for a vehicle of this size and weight.

The Adaptive M Suspension makes it all the more comfortable for dynamic handling of the vehicle. IT comes with electronic adjustments to suit the road and driving conditions. The Driving Experience Control feature enables the driver to adjust the suspension characteristics from comfortable to extremely athletic with absolute agile handling.

The terrain does not matter for the BMW X6 as it is made to command the roads and not drive on them. The very sound of the M Sport Exhaust System can send you into raptures of excitement as it matches the engine sound.

The sports seats for the front passengers come equipped with numerous electric adjustment options, including backrest width and seat angle. In addition, the adjustable thigh support, the tall seats, and the backrest bolster provide excellent ergonomics and support, especially while cornering.

The intelligent BMW xDrive AWD system distributes power to the front and rear wheels for maximum traction and driving dynamics while ensuring maximum safety at all times.

BMW X6 Ride, Handling, and Safety

It would be an insult to speak of the basic safety norms in a car as sophisticated as the BMW X6. Instead, the aspects that matter more are the driver-assistance features to ensure the highest levels of safety for all its passengers.
The BMW Virtual Assistant understands your driving style with each passing day and helps you out from the most challenging situations. Besides, it knows every aspect of the car and helps you know the vehicle better as you keep conversing with it.

The Parking Assistant Plus features functions like Surround View system, Remote View 3D, a lateral parking aid, Active Park Distance Control, emergency braking function, Parking Assistant with linear guidance, and the Reversing Assistant to offer a complete safety package.

BMW Gesture Control allows you to use your hands for specific operations like receiving/rejecting calls, etc. Furthermore, the Head-Up Display is ideal for letting the driver know things like speed, navigation directions, speed limit, etc., in their field of vision. Thus, they need not waver from the prime responsibility of navigating the car safely.

BMW X6 Competition Check

While the BMW X6 is in a class of its own, it faces stiff competition from renowned rivals like Audi Q7, BMW X5, Jaguar F-Pace, Mercedes-Benz GLE Class, and the Porsche Cayenne.
