BMW has introduced the second variant of the X6 crossover for 2015. highlighting the sports activity coupe’s ties to the BMW X family, the new X6 boasts a permanently active intelligent all-wheel-drive system, and will come available with either 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel or 4.4 liter twin-turbo engines. for exterior styling, features like the trademark wedge shaped silhouette are accentuated by double ‘swage’ lines, and the rear now boasts L-shaped three-dimensional LED taillights.

at the front end, the X-shaped contour lines of the bumper, the matte-silver underbody protection, the BMW kidney grille and arrangement of the twin circular headlights and front fog lamps are the most prominent signature features. the large headlight units reach in to the BMW kidney grille and extend outwards well into the side panels. sweeping chrome inserts and the prominently three-dimensional design of the lights underline the character of the adaptive led headlights.

the wedge shape of the silhouette is accentuated by a model-specific interpretation of the double ‘swage’ lines. emerging from the front wheel arches, they rise up along side panels to the rear door handles and into the rear lights.

at the rear, horizontal lines emphasize the stance of the new BMW X6. at night, the three-dimensional LED light strips of the two-section, L-shaped rear lights achieve a striking look. as at the front of the car, a matt silver-coloured underbody protection element marks out the lower end of the body.
