BMW X6 (2014)

Thursday, 05 June 2014 01:17 PM The 2015 BMW X6 introduced the first rear-wheel drive model in the lineup, the X6 sDrive35i, powered by a 300 horsepower TwinPower Turbo inline-six engine. This addition joined the all-wheel drive models, the X6 xDrive35i and the X6 xDrive50i, which featured a 445 horsepower TwinPower Turbo 4.4-liter V8. All models came with BMW’s 8-speed Steptronic sport automatic transmission.

Thursday, 05 June 2014 06:21 PM BMW announced that the new 2015 X6 would be produced exclusively at their production facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and would arrive in US showrooms in late 2014. The pricing started at $60,550 for the X6 sDrive35i, $62,850 for the X6 xDrive35i, and $73,850 for the X6 xDrive50i. I think this was a smart move to keep production costs in check while maintaining quality.

Tuesday, 20 May 2014 05:50 AM The 2015 BMW X6 featured an updated and more extroverted design, including slim headlight units and a dynamically stretched silhouette. The interior included standard features like the BMW Navigation System with touchpad Controller and the Bang & Olufsen surround-sound system. I believe the design updates really enhanced the vehicles appeal.

Tuesday, 15 April 2014 12:57 PM BMW highlighted the efficiency gains in the new X6 xDrive50i, thanks to the addition of Valvetronic, lower curb weight, and other EfficientDynamics measures. This resulted in a 0-60 mph time of just 4.8 seconds, 0.4 seconds quicker than its predecessor.
