BMW India today launched the new X6 M60i xDrive, a performance Sports Activity Coupé that combines muscular design, luxurious appointments and formidable straight-line speed. Offered as a Completely Built-Up Unit, the X6 M60i is presented as the most powerful V8 in its segment, delivering a compelling mix of performance technology and everyday usability for buyers seeking a high-end lifestyle vehicle.
At the heart of the new X6 M60i xDrive is a newly developed 4.4-litre V8 petrol engine that produces 530 horsepower and 750 Nm of torque. The powertrain, derived from BMW M and racing lineages, enables a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.3 seconds while delivering a top speed electronically limited to 250 km/h. The engine’s characteristic exhaust note is amplified by the M Sport exhaust system and a 48V mild-hybrid setup that enhances performance and efficiency.
BMW has equipped the X6 M60i with a suite of driving dynamics features tuned for high performance. Integral Active Steering with rear-wheel steer improves agility at low speeds and stability at higher speeds. Rear-biased xDrive all-wheel drive and an M Sport differential work together to optimise traction and driving engagement. Adaptive M suspension with electronically controlled dampers refines handling and ride comfort, and the M Sport braking system with red calipers provides strong stopping power and a confident pedal feel. The eight-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission delivers rapid and smooth shifts and can be paired with steering wheel paddle shifters for a more involved driving experience.
Design cues underline the X6 M60i’s commanding presence. A bold front end features a prominent kidney grille in matt black with vertical double ribs and slim Adaptive LED headlights. The coupé profile is defined by a long, swooping roofline and taut surfacing that produces a dynamically stretched silhouette. M-specific exterior touches include high-gloss Shadowline trim, M exterior mirrors and sportier side skirts. At the rear, slim light clusters extend across the tailgate and trapezoidal exhaust tailpipe trims emphasise the model’s performance intent. The car rides on 21-inch M light-alloy wheels with runflat tyres as standard.
The cabin centres on the fully digital BMW Curved Display, which integrates a 12.3-inch information display behind the steering wheel with a 14.9-inch control display under a single glass surface. The horizontal instrument panel accentuates cabin width and is trimmed in Sensafin material for a premium tactile experience. Standard comfort seats provide strong lateral support and are ventilated with electric adjustment and memory function for the driver. Optional features include massage seats, the Harman Kardon surround sound system, Alcantara M headliner and soft-close doors.
BMW places emphasis on personalisation. The X6 M60i is offered in six standard paint options and a wide range of BMW Individual shades and extended leather trims for customers seeking bespoke finishes. Interior upholstery choices include Sensafin in a variety of colours and leather options for further refinement.
Connectivity and digital services are comprehensive. BMW ConnectedDrive features include Digital Key Plus, Emergency Call, Real-time Traffic Information and Remote Services via the MyBMW app. The latest iDrive with Operating System 8.5 supports touch and speech interaction and is complemented by the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant which adapts to driving habits and assists occupants. Wireless smartphone integration and over-the-air software updates help keep vehicle functions current.
Driver assistance and convenience technologies are extensive. Parking Assistant Professional with 360-degree surround view simplifies tight parking, while Reversing Assistant records and replicates the last 200 metres to assist in complex manoeuvres. The car also includes a wide range of safety features such as six airbags, ABS with Brake Assist, Dynamic Stability Control and ISOFIX mounts.
Efficiency measures are integrated alongside performance. BMW EfficientDynamics functions include Auto Start-Stop, Brake-Energy Regeneration and ECO PRO mode within the Driving Experience Control. A 48V mild-hybrid system supports improved responsiveness and fuel economy without compromising the X6 M60i’s sporting character.
