BMW X6: Variants explained

BMW X6: Variants explained

The third-gen BMW X6 made its global debut in the summer of 2019 and it arrived in Malaysia just last year. So, it’s pretty fresh for us in that sense, however, time waits for none or nor does customers taste. Therefore, Munich has started preparing for a facelift and there seems to be a bucket load of revision in store.

We have no clue as to when the revised model will enter Malaysia, so it’s best to enjoy what we have now, i.e., fully imported BMW X6. Today, we’ll be discussing the coupe-cum-SUV’s variants.

BMW X6 xDrive40i M Sport Variants & Price

The Malaysian-spec X6 is available in one single variant option, the xDrive40i M Sport. Thus saving buyers the confusion of which trim to pick over which.

As for the price point, the xDrive40i M Sport retails for RM 729,800 on-the-road without insurance. It includes a 5-year free scheduled service package and a 5-year, unlimited-mileage warranty. Thus, making it RM 110,000 costlier than the X5, the car on which it is based.

On many ends, the X6 looks similar to the X5, however, it comes with a few embellishments of its own along with some higher level of specifications. So, let’s talk about its design language in detail, starting from the front fascia.

BMW X6 headlight

To begin with, the X6 bears a similar front end as the X5. Catching our maximum attention here is a unique trapezoidal double kidney grille along with the rather showy ‘Iconic Glow’ grille illumination. The grille setup is accompanied by sharp and edgy adaptive Laserlight headlamps with three-dimensional daytime running lights and LED fog lights.

On to the side, the car gets a dynamic edge from the Air Breather front fender that cuts into the wheel arches. Also, the massive 21-inch Y-spoke Style 741 M two-tone design wheels accentuate its strong shoulders. Not to forget, the X6 signature design cue, the lower roof and satin aluminium window surround and roof rails.

At the rear, is the X6’s signature sloping windscreen, slimmer L-shaped two-piece LED tail lamps followed by a number plate, and large vertical vents. It also gets twin rear spoilers with raised outer sections - one on the short rear deck and the other on the roof’s trailing edge.
