The BMW X6 has made its comeback to the Indian market, nearly three years after its previous departure, now presented in the M60i guise. This iteration is not an all-new generation but a Life Cycle Impulse, or facelift, focusing on refined design and an upgraded powertrain. The iconic silhouette remains, with enhancements to the headlights, bumpers, and grille for a more modern aesthetic. Inside, the cabin receives a significant update with BMW's latest curved display, offering a slick and responsive interface.
Under the hood, the X6 M60i is powered by a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine enhanced by a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, delivering a potent 530 hp and 750 Nm of torque. This powertrain enables a 0-100 kmph sprint in just 4.3 seconds, providing a relentless surge of acceleration. Despite its considerable weight, the X6 impressively disguises its size, thanks to adaptive M suspension and active rear steering, ensuring remarkable handling and minimal body roll.
The BMW X6 M60i is priced at Rs 1.77 crore, ex-showroom. It remains a choice for those prioritizing character, road presence, and driver engagement over the practicality offered by models like the X5. This M60i variant aims to capture buyers who appreciate bold styling and a dynamic driving experience, continuing the X6's legacy of refusing convention.
