The new BMW X6 is coming to India we feel. Without any pre-launch announcements? Well, this could be true! BMW India's Instagram handle uploaded a video as an Instagram story. A meek throw of light appearing in a full black background with a snarling sound, later, a pair of signature kidney grilles demolishing the dark! Can't get it even now?
The BMW X6 is the only offering from the German manufacturer which offers illuminated kidney grilles and it was the highlight point when unveiled internationally. Now, it is near to our shores. The story was uploaded on 20th January and said "arriving in 2 days". Well, I am not a mathematician but it hints 22nd January. This statement certainly confirms the unveiling or launch of the BMW X6 in our market. One more key point to draw from the source is the M badge which signifies the arrival of M-sport variant.

Surprisingly, BMW India's website has no information about this. What BMW wants to show, beast attacks silently? No clue! Talking about the X6 though, it was unveiled and launched last year in international markets. BMW X6 is a coupe iteration of the X5 SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle). Powering the X6 is an array of petrol and diesel engine options. Range kick starts from a pair of 3.0 straight-six petrol and diesel engine. Both the engines come as entry-level options.
We expect the Indian-spec X6 to be powered by a 4.4-litre twin-turbo petrol V8 and 3.0-litre quad-turbocharged diesel from its elder sibling- BMW X7. The V8 producing 530 Hp and 750 Nm of torque will shove you from 0-100 in just 4.3 seconds. The quad-turbo diesel producing 400 Hp and 700 Nm of torque do the same in 5.2 seconds. Both engines are paired with an 8-speed sport automatic gearbox and BMW xDrive.
