BMW has launched the all-new 2020 X6 in
India. The third-gen model of the Coupe-SUV is available in two variants -
xLine and M Sport - both of which costs the same, i.e., INR 95 lakh*. The
3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine in the 2020 BMW X6 is
capable of pumping out a healthy 340 horsepower and 450 Newton-metres. The
transmission in duty here is a slick 8-speed Steptronic unit. The all-new
Coupe-SUV also has BMW’s xDrive 4-wheel-drive system. In terms of performance,
the 2020 BMW X6 can do the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 5.5 seconds.
Being a BMW, the front end of the
third-gen X6 is dominated by the large kidney grilles. Complementing their
sharper and bolder design is a pair of aggressive-looking LED headlamps which
have LED DRLs incorporated. BMW is also offering optional Laserlight and
adaptive light package with the new 2020 X6.
Perhaps, the first noticeable feature on
the side profile of the 2020 BMW X6 is the sloping roofline, which imparts the
SUV its Coupe-like design. It seems that BMW has made the sloping roofline much
more prominent and sharper than that of the previous generation model. At the
rear, the gorgeous wrap-around LED taillamps are present which demand continues
attention.
Just as most of the other German cars, the
fit-and-finish and quality of the materials used in the cabin of the 2020 BMW
X6 is top-notch. The interior is typically BMW-ish with a 3-spoke steering
wheel with mounted controls and a familiar dashboard layout. BMW has, however,
added two massive 12.3-inch displays to juice up things a bit. The Coupe-SUV
also comes with 4-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting,
heads-up display, Bowers and Wilkins 3D sound system with 20 speakers, and BMW
Intelligent Personal Assistant that understands certain predefined voice
commands.
The new 2020 BMW X6 is 26 mm longer
(4,935 mm) and 15mm wider (2,004 mm) than its predecessor. It has a wheelbase of
2,975 mm and is 1,696 mm tall. The 580-litres boot capacity can be increased up
to 1,530 litres with the rear seats folded in the 40/20/20 fashion. The 2020
BMW X6 has two variants, namely the xLine and M Sport. The changes between them
are limited to cosmetics.
