New BMW X6 M60i xDrive launched in India at Rs 1.78 crore

The new BMW X6 M60i

The new BMW X6 M60i enthralls with its distinctive design and coupé profile. The long, swooping roofline and crisply painted lines generate a dynamically stretched silhouette. The new BMW X6 features slim Adaptive LED headlight units with arrow-shaped daytime driving light elements, specified with M Shadowline lights. Kidney grille surrounded in matt black featuring vertical double ribs, and the M logo exude M style on the front of the new BMW X6 M60i. The Gloss black M Exterior mirrors adds to the aggressive look of the SAC. M-specific side skirts and M High-gloss Shadowline extended trim reflect the agile character of the new BMW X6. The athletically taut surfacing of the flanks and the car’s muscular shoulders transition smoothly into its equally powerful rear end design.

The rear apron has an insert in Dark Shadow, while the exhaust tailpipe trims are trapezoidal in shape. Another unmissable design feature of the Sports Activity Coupé is the slim rear lights that reach far into the tailgate. Their light signature is shaped by the familiar L shape of the rear light and brake light bars. The BMW X6 M60i xDrive leaves the factory as standard on 21-inch M light-alloy wheels with runflat tyres.

The new BMW X6 M60i is fitted with the M Sport package Pro as standard which also includes an M Sport braking system with red brake callipers, a quad-pipe M Sport exhaust system, M seat belts and a rear spoiler in Black high-gloss, pointing to the standout performance attributes of the eight-cylinder model.

The fully digital BMW Curved Display is at the heart of the interior redesign for the new BMW X6 M60i. It is made up of a 12.3-inch information display behind the steering wheel and a control display with a screen diagonal of 14.9 inches – both located behind a single glass surface. The newly designed instrument panel serves as the perfect stage for the BMW Curved Display. Its horizontal structure emphasises the width of the cabin, while the surfacing in leather-like Sensafin, with its aesthetic and haptic qualities, draws further attention to the optimised premium character of the interior. Adding an extra touch of elegance and quality is the broad, smoothly curving trim element in standard fine wood with high-gloss metal effect for the new BMW X6 M60i xDrive model. Another feature is the ambient light bar with crystalline surface structure and highly effective LED backlighting integrated below the trim element in the front passenger area. The model lettering – “///M” – is added to the light bar’s graphic. Exclusive glass applications as optional for toggle, iDrive controller and controls can be specified with the Crafted Clarity option.

The standard comfort seats in the new BMW X6 offer outstanding lateral support through dynamically taken corners. They are ventilated, feature lumbar support and offer electric adjustment options for the seat height, seat angle, backrest angle and backrest width – including a memory function on the driver’s side. Also available as an option for the driver and front passenger is massage function with eight massage programs, each with three intensity levels for muscle activation and relaxation. With its 16 speakers and 464-watt amplifier, the Harman Kardon surround sound system further enhances the on-board acoustic experience. The optional Alcantara M headliner adds to the cabin’s premiumness. Additionally, Soft-close doors enhance convenience and safety with smooth, effortless operation.

The new BMW X6 M60i xDrive model is powered by a newly developed V8 petrol engine. The 4.4-litre power unit can trace its genes back to engines used in renowned BMW M and racing machines. The engine produces an output of 530 hp and 750 Nm maximum torque. It is accompanied by a characteristic sound thanks to the M Sport exhaust unit. The 48V battery setup significantly improves performance as well as efficiency. The car completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/hr in 4.3 seconds, and has a top speed of 250 km/h.

The eight-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission performs smooth, almost imperceptible gearshifts. At any time, in any gear, the transmission collaborates perfectly with the engine, enabling it to develop its full power and efficiency. For even greater driving pleasure, it is available with steering wheel paddle shifters and cruise control with braking function as standard. The Integral Active Steering, with rear-wheel steer, enhances agility at low speeds and stability at high speeds. BMW xDrive, the intelligent all-wheel drive technology monitors the driving situation and is quick to respond to ensure maximum traction, agility and vehicle stability. The standard M Sport differential enhances driving engagement. The Adaptive M suspension fitted as standard results in a noticeably firmer connection to the body. Electronically controlled dampers are on hand to refine handling dynamics as well as primary ride comfort. M Sport brakes provide excellent braking performance and intuitive feel, whether negotiating city streets or driving around a circuit on a track day. The brake callipers are painted red and display the M logo.

BMW ConnectedDrive technology breaks the innovation barrier and turns the car into an interconnected digital device. Host of ConnectedDrive features include Digital Key Plus, Emergency Call, Real-time Traffic Information and Remote Services through MyBMW app. BMW Live Cockpit Professional includes the freestanding 14.9” BMW Curved Display with Navigation, a 12.3-inch digital information display behind the steering wheel and BMW Head-up Display.
