Now into its third generation, the BMW X6 offers one of the more aggressive stances on the road today. Featuring the emotional profile of a traditional coupe, albeit, a high-riding version, worldwide sales have easily surpassed a quarter of a million copies which clearly shows a global acceptance of this modern design. A very exciting aspect of the BMW X6 is that it is available for sale at BMW of Wyoming Valley in Wilkes-Barre, PA.
Powered by the company's 375-horsepower TwinPower Turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine and paired with BMW's xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system, the X6 xDrive40i offers ultimate in year-round grip and performance. For the M line there are 2 options, known as the X6 M60i and the X6 M Competition. They feature the 4.4-liter, 528 horsepower TwinPower Turbocharged V8 and a twin-turbo V8 tuned that delivers 617 horsepower, respectively. All three vehicles transfer their marching orders to the pavement through the BMW 8-Speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
Looks Matter.
The new xDrive models all look as though they are sports coupes owing to their long noses with short rear overhangs and high sides, which carry on a family resemblance with the rest of the BMW SAV family.
From the front, the look is unmistakable, from the twin kidney grille, to the X-shaped contour lines and the matte silver underbody skid plate to protect delicate parts while off-roading. Standard LED headlamps light the way. Around the corner from the headlamps are distinct aides to the X6's aerodynamics by way of BMW Air Curtains which direct air from the front apron to the Air Breathers which help to reduce air turbulence over the front wheel wells.
Inside looking out.
The inside of the BMW X6 includes a three-dimensional design features a variety of layered surfaces including Poplar wood trim, pearl gloss chrome, brushed aluminum and wood trims from the company's Fineline wood trim lineup. LED light pipes offer an alluring effect after dark and can be programmed to change according to a pre-stored combination of colors.
Vehicle control is performed via the X6's black-panel technology, which changes color and format depending on the selected drive mode. A center-mounted 14.9-inch flatscreen display is onboard and works in concert with the standard iDrive operating system.
A 40:20:40 rear seat offers a range of cargo space beginning with 27.4 cubic feet and expanding to 59.6 cubic feet. Access to the rear cargo area can be hands-free if your BMW X6 is equipped with the available Comfort Access feature which operates via a sweep of the foot underneath the rear bumper.
