BMW India has introduced the 2026 X6 coupe-SUV at an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.78 crore. The X6 has made a comeback exclusively in the fully loaded M60i version powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine and is being imported as a CBU (completely built unit).
Powering the BMW X6 is a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine with 48V mild-hybrid assist. The setup develops 530hp and 750Nm of torque, making the X6 M60i the most powerful model in its segment. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Additionally, there’s rear-wheel steering, adaptive suspension, a limited-slip differential and a rear-biased xDrive AWD system. BMW claims a 4.3sec 0-100kph sprint time, a top speed of 250kph and a fuel efficiency of 7.89kpl.
The X6 retains its distinctive coupe-SUV silhouette with a muscular look overall. The aggressive front end gets adaptive LED headlamps, a blacked-out kidney grille, a dual-tone bumper with wide air intakes and air vents at the sides. In profile, the X6 is characterised by a sloping roofline that neatly blends into the upright boot, M60i badging on the front fenders, 21-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, M-branded red brake calipers and a black finish for the outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs).
Flared wheel arches and muscular rear haunches lend it an imposing stance. At the rear, there are sleek wraparound LED tail-lamps, fog lamps, a sculpted dual-tone bumper, quad exhaust tips and M60i badging on the tailgate. The X6 is 4,960mm long, 2,004mm wide, 1,700mm tall and has a 2,975mm wheelbase. It rides 216mm from the ground and has a 580-litre boot capacity. While there are six paint colours to choose from, BMW is also offering customised options.
BMW has extended ‘M’ detailing to the interior of the X6 as well. You get an M-branded leather steering wheel, a backlit M inscription on the dashboard, M tricolour stitching on the seatbelts and M60i-branded door scuff plates. The dashboard is finished in black and has silver accents throughout. The seats can be specced in a variety of colours, including black, cognac, Silverstone (white) and a two-tone red-and-black finish. An Alcantara roofliner and glass finish for the drive selector, iDrive controller and start/stop button are optional extras.
As for features, you get a dual curved screen setup with M graphics, comprising a 14.9-inch infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display. There’s also wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting, powered and ventilated front seats, a head-up display (HUD), a wireless phone charger, rear sunshades, soft-closing doors, a 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system and connected car tech. The safety features include a 360-degree camera, a reverse parking assistant and Level 2 ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems). Massaging front seats are available as an optional fitment.
With the return of the X6, BMW will go up against the Audi SQ8, Porsche Cayenne Coupe GTS and Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe.
