BMW is preparing to offer a facelift version for the X6 sometime next year, but these changes will be the last the car will receive because, in 2015, BMW will begin the SUV’s second generation. The BMW X6 has quickly become a successful model mostly due to the fact that it doesn’t have much competition. This second generation was imperative because, in 2014, both Audi and Mercedes will be bringing out decent competitors. BMW will work on the car’s overall look, but their focus will mostly be on reducing the SUV’s total weight and its fuel economy. It has been rumored that BMW will cut about 330 lbs, so the next X6 will weigh about 4,400 lbs. The engine line-up will also get some changes: the entry level version will now use a base four-cylinder engine with 245 HP, while the top version plans to get a 405 HP straight-six engine. There will also be a hybrid just like the current generation. Next to the technical improvements, BMW will also be working on making the car more agile and more aerodynamic. The interior will also receive higher quality materials and all the latest BMW technologies. .
10 comments: BMW X6 I’m not saying that I don’t trust BMW, but rather, I won’t expect too much from this. I’ll be able to like it anyway even if it’s beaten by its competition.
Since it has a long way to go before unveiling, I expect this to be the best BMW automotive when the time comes.
I’ll patiently wait for BMW to unveil this. I believe that BMW will make this X6 better than other cars.
Does it take that long to do a facelift? I’m genuinely curious. Even though we’re talking about exterior looks here, some even expect mechanical upgrades too.
I am looking forward on seeing much of the design of this car. Not just the back part. I will keep myself updated about the technical improvement of this SUV.
Yeah! They should really do that for the fact that 245 horsepower is not truly enough to beat already its competitor. However, I would admit that it is so attractive and lovely on its aesthetic design.
The fact that its rival is an Audi and Mercedes vehicle, I think BMW should really need to boost its engine for its rival are truly can offer an awesome figure performance.
It sounds great to know that they are more focusing on reducing the weight of this vehicle. Furthermore, I noticed that the exterior detailing of it is really looks so perfect, especially on its side rims and with the body paint that they use on it.
I wonder if what are the other great feature that this BMW X6 can offer aside from its decent and fabulous exterior appearance. Anyway, 245 hp is not a satisfying output for this kind of vehicle.
