Inovev forecasts 40,000 new BMW X6 per year
- BMW has just unveiled the new generation of its top-of-the-range SUV coupe (E segment), the X6. Thus, in two years, the Bavarian manufacturer will have completely renewed its SUVs in the D and E segments, the X3, X4, X5, X6, and launched a new X7 in the F segment, which now caps the brand's SUV range.
- The new X6 (code G06) is built on the (CLAR) platform and with the engines of the recent X5, launched last year, but is equipped like the old X6 with its own bodywork with a receding rear.
- The X6 features the 340 hp3.0l in-line 6-cylinder petrol engines (X6 40i), and 530 hp4.4l V8 engines (X6 50i), as well as the 265 hp3.0l in-line 6-cylinder diesel engine (X6 30d). A 394 hp hybrid version (X6 45e) is also planned for next year.
- Finally, a 650 hp X6M is under discussion for a later launch.
- This model, less in demand than the X5 (it sells 3.5 times less), is a rival to the Mercedes GLE coupe, the Audi Q8 and the very recent Porsche Cayenne coupé. It will still be manufactured in BMW's US plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina. North America is indeed the leading BMW X6 market with a sales volume of around 7,000 units per year, but this market is closely followed by the Chinese market.
- The new BMW X6 will be presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show next September, along with the new 1 Series and the new Gran Coupe on the 8 Series. Inovev expects 40,000 units per year for the new BMW X6.
