Yesterday we brought to you the pre-launch coverage for the much awaited BMW X6 SUV. And now the latest offering from BMW is out and has been tagged with a price of Rs. 78.90 lakh (Ex-showroom Delhi) for the XDrive40d diesel while the XDrive50i petrol has been tagged at Rs. 93.4 lakh (Ex-showroom Delhi), which is more or less the anticipated price of the X6. As we informed our readers in our pre-launch coverage, the X6 was first unveiled at the New York Motor Show in April, 2012. Additionally, as we predicted, the SUV is now considerably more lavish and luxurious.
In terms of exteriors, the X6 now gets a revised front grille design, revamped fog-lights and the addition of new LED adaptive headlights for better road visibility. We also see the addition of 19-inch alloy wheels as a standard option on all the variants. The interiors too boast several key changes; one of these is the addition of carbon fibre inserts to the dashboard and door trims. Apart from the classy carbon fibre inserts, we also see the X6 interiors garbed in all-new leather upholstery and featuring the updated iDrive system.
As far as mechanical changes are concerned, there do not seem to be any, as full details are still pending release. We expect the engines to remain the same as the old X6, which are the 4.4-litre V8 petrol that hands out 408bhp and the 3.0-litre V6 diesel that produces 235bhp. However, the X6 will include the incorporation of an optional M Package that will improve performance in terms of power output.
As of now, the expected competitors for the BMW X6 are the Audi India Q-Series, Mercedes-Benz ML-Class and possibly the new Range Rover. Additionally, the BMW X6 is brought in as a CBU which is going to have a big impact on the competition, considering the difference in pricing.
The BMW X6 is currently being launched in Faridabad, Delhi NCR with BMW Group India President, Mr. Philip von Sahr addressing the crowd. Stay tuned to CarDekho for more updates as we bring you fresh information on the BMW X6.
