The new BMW X6 combines performance, coupe styling with off-road ability in a new sleek body style. The new X6 comes with a starting price of over €83,000 before delivery charges.

BMW has introduced its new a completely new type of vehicle with its X6 model. This latest addition to the range is a cross between a coupé and an SUV in what they consider to be a unique design concept and with driving dynamics never seen before.

BMW claim that the X6 is the world’s first Sports Activity Coupé offers features and abilities not available in a comparable combination in any other car the world over. Entry prices are high at €83,150 for the 3.0 litre diesel powered model.

BMW claims that the unique driving characteristics of the BMW X6 come from the innovative combination of driving dynamics on the road so typical of BMW and supremacy on all kinds of terrain. So this is a unique coupé and, at the same time, a very special BMW X model.

With its low-slung side windows and the roofline tapering out to the rear, the BMW X6 boasts the proportions of a genuine coupé. Inside, again in typical coupé style, the BMW X6 accommodates the driver and front passenger as well as two further passengers at the rear.

Extra ground clearance, strikingly designed wheel arches, four doors, the large rear hatch as well as the high waistline bear a clear resemblance in style to BMW’s other X models. BMW claims that this design is an authentic expression of the dynamic driving potential offered by the BMW X6 through its drivetrain and suspension technology not only on the road, but also on rough terrain and off the beaten track.

The BMX X6 comes as standard with BMW’s intelligent xDrive for variable distribution of drive power between the front and rear axle. In addition, this is the first vehicle in the world to feature Dynamic Performance Control likewise fitted as standard for variable distribution of drive forces between the two rear wheels. So regardless of the actual power and traction coming from the engine, the power and torque delivered, say, to the outer wheel in a bend can be actively increased whenever required.

This system unique the world over significantly enhances steering precision, traction in bends and, accordingly, the agility of the vehicle even at moderate speeds. In fast bends and in abrupt steering manoeuvres or when suddenly taking back engine power, Dynamic Performance Control serves furthermore to enhance the stability of the vehicle, allowing the driver to safely enter a new dimension of driving dynamics. On slippery and different kinds of surfaces, BMW finally, Dynamic Performance Control offers the advantage of even better and more reliable traction.

The top-of-the-range BMW X6 xDrive50i is powered by a newly developed eight-cylinder. The most powerful straight-six in BMW’s engine portfolio, in turn, gives the BMW X6 xDrive 35i superior performance at all times, and the BMW X6 xDrive35d is entering the market with the most dynamic six-cylinder diesel in the world. Even the BMW X6 xDrive30d – again featuring an all-aluminium diesel with third-generation common rail fuel injection – offers the performance of a sports car combined with a high standard of efficiency quite unique in the BMW X model segment.
