BMW X6

BMW X6 Exterior

With the third-generation update, the BMW X6 new model is now in line – in terms of design – with the current crop of BMWs. The X6 has a very macho appeal from the outside – and it starts from the front, with the huge kidney grille, flanked by the company’s chunky signature headlamps. It's when the X6 is viewed from the side, that you notice what sets it apart from other SUVs – that 'fastback' sloping rear windscreen, and, of course, the rear overhang. At the rear too, there are new sleek taillamps, a slight duck-tail-like extension on the boot, and massive dual exhausts.

BMW X6 Variants

The BMW X6 variants are as follows: xDrive40i xLine and xDrive40i M Sport. What you do get with the M-Sport trim – even though both the variants demand the same BMW X6 on-road price, that is – is a 12.3-inch fully-digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch infotainment system, adaptive suspension, a panoramic sunroof, a multi-function steering wheel, leather-wrapped gear knob, and steering wheel, cooled and heated cupholders, four-zone climate control, and ambient lighting, among other things.

BMW X6 Interior

The BMW X6, in the interior department too, shares a lot with its cousins. For instance, here too, you get two crisp 12.3-inch displays, one for the infotainment and the other for the instrumentation. The interior space is in line with the X5 – at least at the front – and the materials used are very rich in quality and texture. Thanks to the sloping roof, the headroom at the rear is a bit compromised, but it won’t be an issue for smaller passengers.

BMW X6 Engine Specifications & Performance

The 2020 iteration of the BMW X6 comes powered a 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo motor, which is good for 335bhp and 450Nm of max torque. Like with every other new-age BMW, the X6, too, comes paired to an 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. And, of course, the engine is compliant with BS-VI emission standards.
