2026 BMW X6 M60i: All you need to know
The bold coupe-SUV styling is complemented by a lot of gloss-black design elements
The BMW X6 M60i has a coupe-SUV body style that looks sleek and imposing at the same time. At the front, it features a blacked-out grille with vertical struts and sleek LED headlights with ‘snake eyes’ LED DRL signatures. The bumper is finished in gloss black at the centre and houses multiple air vents to cool the internals.
The sloping roofline lends a coupe-like profile to the X6, which rides on 21-inch alloy wheels, with red brake calipers adding contrast. The outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) and side skirts are finished in black. At the rear, the X6 gets wraparound LED tail-lights and a black bumper with twin exhaust outlets.
Here are the dimensions of the BMW X6 M60i:
Gets dual digital screens, heated and ventilated seats, panoramic sunroof and more
The international-spec BMW X6 M60i gets a dual-tone cabin featuring a layered dashboard design with a dual-screen setup – a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display. It has LED lighting elements on the passenger side and a 3-spoke steering wheel with physical controls. There’s a dedicated AC control panel for dual-zone climate control settings.
Other features include powered, ventilated and heated front seats with memory function for the driver’s seat, a wireless phone charger, a powered tailgate, a panoramic sunroof, a tyre-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and an ADAS suite. The India-spec model is likely to pack similar features.
4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 enables a 0-100kph run in a claimed 4.3 seconds
The BMW X6 M60i is powered by an ‘S68’ 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 petrol engine with a 48-volt mild-hybrid assist, with a total system output of 523hp and 750Nm of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels (AWD). BMW claims a 0-100kph time of 4.3 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250kph.
The X6 M60i is equipped with a rear differential and M Sport Brakes, with four-piston front and single-piston rear calipers. Rear-wheel steering is also offered on the coupe-SUV for easier manoeuvrability in tight spaces and when parking.
The BMW X6 M60i is expected to be priced at around Rs 1.40 crore (ex-showroom) and will lock horns with the Audi SQ8, Mercedes-AMG GLE Coupe and Porsche Cayenne Coupe.
