2020 BMW X6 Launched In India; Priced At Rs. 95 Lakh

The third-generation BMW X6 Coupe-SUV has been digitally launched in India priced at Rs. 95 lakh (ex-showroom India). The luxury crossover is offered in two variants - xLine and M Sport, both carrying the same price tag and are powered by a turbocharged petrol engine for now. A diesel engine is likely to join the line-up later in the future. The new BMW X6 comes to India as a Completely Built Unit (CBU) and shares its underpinnings with the new BMW X5 SUV. The X6 though is extremely stylised and continues to sport the distinctive sloping roofline that kick-started the coupe-SUV segment in the luxury space.
