2024 BMW X6 M60i Performance SUV - Coupe | INTERIOR

Targeted design modifications, an expanded standard equipment roster, across-the-board electrification and clear progress in digital technology mark out the next stage in development of the successful BMW model pairing in the luxury Sports Activity Vehicle and Sports Activity Coupé segments. The smoothly assured character exuded by the new BMW X5 in every situation is now emphasised by particularly robust design features and the optional illuminated BMW kidney Iconic Glow. The extravagant dynamism of the new BMW X6, meanwhile, is underscored by features including the now standard M Sport package. The line-up of power units has undergone a comprehensive overhaul, leading to a significant increase in the electric range of the BMW X5 xDrive50e with plug-in hybrid drive system and the introduction of 48V mild hybrid technology across all other models. Also pointing the way into the future are the new systems for automated driving and parking, plus the latestgeneration iDrive control/operation system with BMW Curved Display and BMW Operating System 8. These extensive modifications represent all the ingredients required to strengthen the position of the BMW X5 as the global market leader in its segment and underpin the leading status of the BMW X6 ahead of competitors from other premium German manufacturers. Both models are built at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg. The competence centre for BMW X models in the US state of South Carolina also hosts production of the BMW X3, the BMW X4, the super-luxurious BMW X7 and the BMW XM - the first electrified high-performance model from BMW M GmbH. Added to which, since 2022 a market-specific variant of the BMW X5 has been rolling off the assembly line at the Dadong plant in China operated by the BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd. joint venture based in Shenyang. Alongside the USA and Canada, the most important sales regions for the new BMW X5 and new BMW X6 include China and other Asian markets, Germany, the Middle East and Australia. Their worldwide market launch will get underway in April 2023. The new BMW X5: slim headlights, illuminated BMW kidney grille With its distinctive Sports Activity Vehicle proportions and pared-back surface treatment, the BMW X5 represents a clear example of elegant presence, powerful assurance and broad-based functionality at work.

All model variants adopt the new design for the signature BMW headlights and BMW kidney grille. The outline of the new headlight units is 35 millimetres narrower. Its arrow-shaped daytime driving light elements point outwards and also serve as turn signal indicators.

And the BMW kidney Iconic Glow can be specified for the first time as an option for the BMW X5 xDrive50e, BMW X5 xDrive40i and BMW X5 xDrive30d. Its cascade lighting ensures the cars have an extremely striking and brand-typical appearance both when standing still and while on the move. The illumination is activated when one of the doors is opened and can be switched on or off manually by the driver via the iDrive menu. The BMW kidney grille is now bordered by clearly sculpted surfaces which bring a modern appeal to the front end. Vertical air curtains positioned to the outer edges emphasise the width of the car. The lower air intake has a horizontal decorative trim detail in Pearl-effect Chrome and triangular apertures in its outer areas.

They sport a dynamically curving element at the front (finished in Pearl-effect Chrome as standard or in Black if the M Sport package is specified and on the BMW X5 M60i xDrive), and three horizontal blades at their trailing edge. The BMW X5 xDrive50e also has "electrified by i" badging here and the BMW X5 M60i xDrive features its model designation. The new BMW X5 now comes as standard with not only roof rails in Satin Aluminium but also Exterior Line Satin Aluminium trim.
