BMW X6 is equipped with a 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 petrol mild-hybrid engine kicking out 523 hp maximum power and 750 Nm of peak torque
BMW India has opened pre-launch bookings for the new X6 M60i xDrive with the coupe SUV set to arrive as a completely built up import in the coming weeks. The X6 nameplate returns to India after facing the axe in early 2023 and this time it comes with a more powerful V8 powertrain and updated hardware throughout. Bookings can be placed at authorised BMW dealerships or through the official website.
The 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 petrol engine kicking out 523 hp and 750 Nm sits at the centre of what the X6 M60i is about. Designated the S68 unit, it works alongside a 48V mild hybrid system and pairs with an 8-speed automatic gearbox sending drive to all four wheels through the xDrive all wheel drive setup. BMW claims a 0 to 100 kmph time of 4.3 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250 kmph.
The rear wheel steering, an electronically controlled rear diff and M Sport brakes round out the performance hardware. At 4,960 mm long, 2,004 mm wide and 1,700 mm tall with a 2,975 mm wheelbase, the X6 M60i is a substantial vehicle. Ground clearance stands at 216 mm and boot space is rated at 580 litres.
The exterior follows the coupe SUV formula with a sloping roofline over SUV proportions – a gloss black kidney grille with vertical slats, slim LED headlamps with snake eye DRL signatures and large integrated air intakes define the front end. It rides on 21-inch alloy wheels with contrast red brake callipers, black finished wing mirrors and side skirts. Wraparound LED tail lamps and a gloss black bumper with twin exhaust outlets handle the rear end treatment.
On the inside, a curved dual screen setup comprising a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster are presented. A dual-zone automatic climate control system, steering wheel with mounted controls, a layered dashboard, ambient lighting, wireless charging, a panoramic sunroof, powered memory front seats with heated and ventilated function, a powered tailgate and an ADAS suite are all expected on mirroring the international model’s equipment list.
The 2026 BMW X6 M60i will compete with the Porsche Cayenne Coupe, Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and Audi Q8 in the luxury coupe SUV space. As for pricing, it is expected to be positioned above Rs. 1.50 crore (ex-showroom) when the official launch happens soon.
