BMW X6 Sports Utility Vehicle Now In Singapore

BMW Asia today introduced the new BMW X6, which now comes with enhanced appeal to augment the unique combination of sporty dynamics and supreme versatility that this world’s first ever Sports Activity Coupé already offers.

The new BMW X6 is also offered with the BMW Individual program, which includes BMW Individual Paintwork, BMW Individual Leather and BMW Individual Interior Trim.

“The new BMW X6 is a distinctive model that is well-liked for its highly expressive design and unique combination between the athleticism and elegance of a coupé and the supremacy of a BMW X model. Coupled with the BMW Individual program, revised looks and equipped with standard M Sport Edition for the first time, the new BMW X6 is made even more compelling than before,” said Mr Neil Fiorentinos, Managing Director of BMW Group Asia. “Further, it offers a fascinating driving experience which is driven by a powerful petrol engine fitted with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology and the intelligent all-wheel-drive system xDrive, which comes with Dynamic Performance Control.”

“More than 150,000 units of the BMW X6 have already been sold since its initial market launch about three years ago, and this has far exceeded our expectations. The demand for this Sports Activity Coupé continues to grow strong and is definitely a firm affirmation for its unique yet popular design,” concluded Mr Fiorentinos.

Precisely modified details in the front view give the new BMW X6 an appearance characterised by exclusive athleticism and supremacy.

The standard fog lights are now set in matt finish surrounds in the upper area of the outer air inlets. Their higher and more lateral position emphasises the width of the vehicle. The striking three dimensional modelling of the frame and newly designed bars, angled in the lower section, make the BMW kidney grille stand out especially conspicuously within the vehicle front section. The angle of the grille bars is flush with the bottom of the headlamp units, thereby creating an additional horizontal line which likewise highlights the wide track and stable road-holding of the new BMW X6.

As an alternative to the bi-xenon light, the new BMW X6 is the first vehicle in its segment to be fitted standard with adaptive LED headlamps. Their bright white light ensures optimum visibility, while their high-quality appearance represents a new interpretation of the brand's hallmark twin circular headlamps. The three dimensionally shaped luminous rings of the adaptive LED headlamps are strikingly levelled off both at the top and bottom and are overlaid at the upper edge by an LED-fed accent light. The light sources for low and high beam light are LED units positioned on a horizontal bar at its centre, feeding their light into the reflectors in front.

With its newly designed rear lights with LED technology, the powerfully shaped rear section of the new BMW X6 also features more intense styling. The rear lights are now two LED-fed light banks which create the brand's hallmark night design as a harmoniously glowing light mass. The fact that they are horizontally aligned and stretch far out to the sides emphasises both the width of the vehicle and the flowing transition between the side section and rear.

With the market launch of the new BMW X6, the combination of supreme appearance, agile driving properties and hallmark brand efficiency so characteristic of the Sports Activity Coupé is raised to a new level. The petrol engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology available for the BMW X6 deliver impressive pulling power and exemplary low fuel consumption figures. The V8 engine of the BMW X6 xDrive50i delivers 407 bhp, while in the BMW X6 xDrive35i an in-line 6-cylinder petrol engine with 306 bhp ensures supreme athletic performance.

The engine power of the new BMW X6 is transferred by means of a standard 8-speed sports transmission including shift paddles at the steering wheel. Dynamic Performance Control is a standard feature in all versions of the BMW X6 as an element of the intelligent all-wheel drive system xDrive. This gives greater precision to the electronically controlled power distribution so as to optimise driving stability, traction and dynamic performance. It particularly comes to bear when taking bends in sporty style. Even as the car enters the bend, xDrive feeds additional power to the rear wheels so as to support an agile turn-in response. By means of continuously variable distribution of drive torque between the rear wheels, Dynamic Performance Control also optimises tracking stability under high transverse acceleration forces as well as traction when accelerating out of a bend. For additional enhancement of agility and supremacy, the systems Active Steering and Adaptive Drive are offered with electronically controlled dampers and roll stabilisation.

The progressive character of the new BMW X6 is also underscored by the extensive range of driver assistance systems and mobility services from BMW ConnectedDrive. In addition to BMW Head-Up-Display, features available for the Sports Activity Coupé include the optional systems Lane Departure Warning, Speed Limit Info, as well as, Side View and Rear View camera with Top View which comes standard. The new BMW X6 is also optimised by means of intelligent networking with the integration of smartphones and music players in the vehicle and the use of innovative infotainment functions.

The new BMW X6 is now available for viewing at Performance Motors’ showroom.
