The German luxury automobile manufacturer Bayerische Motoren Werke’s Indian subsidiary, BMW India, has launched the 2026 BMW X6 M60i xDrive by importing it as a completely built-in unit from the Spartanburg plant for the domestic market with an ex-showroom price of ₹1.78 crore.
They started accepting the order for the model from May 22, 2026, via the BMW India website, a month after the launch had taken place. Reportedly, the brand will start the delivery in July 2026. It is all set to give tough competition to the Mercedes-AMG GLE 53 Coupe, Audi RS Q8, Porsche Cayenne Coupe GTS, and Maserati Grecale Trofeo.
Features a powerful engine and quick acceleration
Under the hood, it gets a 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 petrol-powered internal combustion engine with a 48V mild-hybrid system that is mated with the eight-speed Steptronic automatic and features the xDrive all-wheel-drive drivetrain. Its ICE’s displacement is 4,395 cc, and it delivers the peak power of 530 hp and torque of 750 Nm.
To sprint from 0 to 100 km/h, it takes a time of just 4.3 seconds and reaches a maximum speed of 250 km/h. The Automotive Research Association of India-certified fuel efficiency is 7.89 km/l, but the real-world mileage in the city is anticipated to be around 5 km/l, and the same on the highway is 6.5 km/l. The mix may be around 6 km/L.
Get active suspension and ventilated disc brakes.
This car is built on the BMW CLAR platform, which features adaptive M suspension with double wishbones on the front and five links on the rear wheels, which continuously monitor road surface, vehicle speed, steering input, braking, and acceleration and automatically change the damping force of each shock absorber, which results in smooth driving even on roads with potholes.
It also features rear-wheel steering, which turns the rear wheel opposite of the front wheel when running at low speed to reduce the turning radius; it helps in easily taking turns on compact roads and helps in parking the car smoothly in dense areas. The ventilated disc manages the braking for all wheels and also features an electronic parking brake with auto hold.
For braking safety, it is equipped with ABD that prevents wheel locking at high speeds and reduces the risk of skidding; EBD distributes the braking force between front and rear wheels depending on road conditions to ensure better stability; brake assist increases the braking force to reduce stopping distance; and it also has ESC and TCS.
It comes with large alloy wheels and a double-tone bumper.
Dimensionally, it is 4,960 mm longer, 2,004 mm wider, and 1,700 mm taller. The wheelbase is 2,975 mm, and the standard ground clearance is 216 mm.
