This groundbreaking vehicle comes standard with the world’s first Dynamic Performance Control system

The all-new X6 Sports Activity Coupe redefines the very definition of a coupe – the SAV (sports activity vehicle coupe) – with five doors and four sculpted seats, a higher ride, and loads of cargo space.

The BMW X6 is available in two engine variations: the xDrive50i (4.4 V8 engine, 400 hp, 450lb.-ft torque) and the xDrive35i (3.0 inline six-cylinder engine, 300 hp, 300 lb.-ft torque), both with Twin Turbo and direct injection, combining the sporting elegance of a large BMW Coupe with the powerful presence of a BMW X model.

The BMW X6 comes as standard with BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive technology with electronic control for variable distribution of drive power between the front and rear axles, consistently adjusted to driving conditions at all times and in all situations. Featured for the first time as standard in the BMW X6, Dynamic Performance Control likewise ensures variable distribution of drive forces between the two rear wheels. Dynamic Performance Control incorporates an advanced computer control and an innovative rear differential incorporating two planetary gearsets and two clutch packs that enables the system to multiply torque on an individual rear wheel.

The result is that Dynamic Performance Control can help steer the vehicle by directing torque to either of the rear wheels. This cutting-edge technology is effective whether the driver is accelerating or decelerating and significantly enhances steering precision and, as a result, the agility of the vehicle at any speed. In fast corners with abrupt steering maneuvers or with the driver suddenly releasing the gas pedal, Dynamic Performance Control serves to improve the stability of the entire vehicle, thus allowing the driver to safely enter and enjoy new dimensions of driving dynamics. On slippery or uneven surfaces, Dynamic Performance Control provides the further advantage of even safer and more stable traction.

The BMW X6 xDrive50i accelerates from 0–60 mph in just 5.3 seconds and boasts ample power reserves for exceptionalacceleration also at higher speeds. When equipped with the optional 20 inch wheels with performance tires, the top speed is a truly impressive 155 mph limited electronically by the engine control unit. The new V8 engine is the most efficient engine in its class. Combined with a number of further technologies developed in the overall context of BMW Efficient Dynamics, the engine gives the BMW X6 xDrive50i
fuel consumption and emission figures significantly better than other eight-cylinder vehicles competing with the BMW X Models.

Hence, the BMW Sports Activity Coupe is an exceptional vehicle beyond the direct rang  of BMW X Model competitors, ensuring unparalleled performance in all situations.

Unique design: dynamic line, powerful presence

In its design, the BMW X6 definitely offers all the DNA of a genuine BMW X Model, interpreted in a brand-new, sporting style. Various design features typical of BMW also stand out in the car’s details, ranging from the BMW kidney grille to the dual round headlights optically “cut off” at the top, and the powerful contour line along the side, all the way to the horizontal lines at the rear emphasizing the sheer width of the vehicle.

Large air intakes are positioned far to the outside for more than just meeting the cooling requirements of the powerful engines. Rather, interacting with the side panels extending far to the inside over the headlights, the air scoops provide clear orientation towards the wheels, emphasizing the powerful stance of the vehicle on the road.

Sportiness and luxury within the interior

To the very last detail, the interior of the BMW X6 offers a unique synthesis of luxury, sporting dynamics, and powerful style. Kneepads on both sides of the center console, paddles on the sports steering wheel featured as standard, and the fine scale on the circular instruments create an excitingly different driving experience in the new BMW X6 both on the road and off the beaten track. Like all BMW X Models, the new Sports Activity Coupe offers the occupants of all four seats an elevated, commanding seating position. In particular, this gives the driver a clear feeling of being perfectly in control of his BMW X6 in all situations. In conjunction with the cockpit simply begging the driver to drive, this creates an innovative impression of genuine, all-out sportiness.

A further point distinguishing the Sports Activity Coupe from the other BMW X Models is the sporting design of the individual rear seats separated from one another through the center console, the high-rising side supports, and the integrated headrests on all four seats. Multifunction buttons on the steering wheel operate the telephone and audio systems quickly, smoothly and without the slightest distraction, whiletwo additional buttons may be programmed individually according to the driver’s personal preferences.

Lots of space, lots of customization options. Wide opening rear doors facilitate access to the two rear seats, while head-room in the rear is unusually generous for a coupe – seat height of 37.2 inches guarantees supreme comfort and convenience, even for tall passengers.

A wide range of materials and colors highlighting the sporting character of the BMW X6 adds to the individual style and personality of this unique vehicle. The exterior paintwork for example, comes in a choice of no less than ten exterior colors; eleven leather options and three trim options ensure awide range of individual style and choice.

Trim in ash grain has been created especially for BMW’s Sports Activity Coupe. And while the wood variant exudes a particular touch of discreet exclusivity, the sweeping polish on the aluminum version shows a clear and distinct reference to motorsport.

The passenger and luggage compartment on the BMW X6 are distinctly separated from one another in the usual style one would expect of a fully-fledged coupe. Offering almost 25.6 cu ft of storage space, the luggage compartment behind the rear seats of the BMW X6 is far larger than in a conventional coupe, providing enough space to store four full-size golf bags in the luggage compartment – even with four passengers.

BMW’s new Sports Activity Coupe also boasts a firm, folding cover on top of the luggage compartment that can be folded and stowed beneath the floor for convenient transportation of bulky objects. To increase the transport capacity available, the rear-seat backrests may be folded down in an asymmetric split, expanding loading capacity to a substantial 59.7 cu ft.

An automatic tailgate opening and closing function is available as an option on the BMW X6 allowing the driver to vary the final position of the tailgate when open. This helps to reduce the risk of damage, for example in an underground car park or garage with a low ceiling.

The Sports Activity Coupe from BMW once again sets the standard in a market segment characterized by particularly dynamic growth. Through its concept and drive technology, the BMW X6 clearly proves and confirms the exceptional innovative power of Germany’s premium carmaker.
