Seoul, Korea - BMW
has released a new diesel model to its X6 range, due to Australian
demand for its diesel engines, the new entry model to the BMW X6 range
is the BMW X6 xDrive30d.
The BMW X6 xDrive30d is powered by
a three-litre straight-six cylinder turbo-diesel engine that is shared
by half of all BMW X5s sold in Australia.
Demand for BMW diesel technology
has rised in recent months with the carmaker selling more diesel than
petrol engines in Australia in 2010 for the first time ever.
The BMW X6 xDrive becomes the new
entry model to the range, starting at $109,900*, broadening the appeal
of BMW’s xDrive model line-up.
The X6 xDrive30d generates 180kW
of power and 540Nm of torque enabling the Sports Activity Coupe to
sprint from zero to 100km/h in 7.5 seconds. Meanwhile, fuel economy is
7.4litres per 100km.
Like all other models in the X6
line-up, the X6 xDrive30d gets an 8-speed automatic transmission as
standard.
The BMW X6 also features Dynamic
Performance Control as standard, giving the X6 improved agility and
handling capabilities.
The X6 xDrive30d also features a
number of BMW EfficientDynamics technologies including Low Rolling
Resistance Tyres, third-generation common-rail diesel technology and
Brake Energy Regeneration for improved fuel efficiency.
New to the X6 range is also a
'five-seater' option with a three-passenger rear seat now available
across the entire range for the first time. This fifth seat,
incorporating a three-point safety belt, retains a centre armrest and
the 60:40 fold-down split of the rear seats remains unchanged.
The BMW X6 xDrive30d offers
19-inch star-spoke alloy wheels, sport seats, sports leather steering
wheel, Bi-Xenon headlights, and Nevada leather upholstery as standard.
A number of innovations from the
BMW ConnectedDrive suite of technologies are also featured as standard
including Head-Up Display, Rear View Camera with Top View, Professional
Navigation, Bluetooth and USB Audio Interface.
High-Beam Assist, Automatic
Tailgate and Park Distance Control front and rear round out the
standard kit on the X6 xDrive30d.
An optional Sports Package will
also be available on the new model offering 20-inch light alloy wheels,
a high-gloss shadow line and anthracite roofliner, all for an extra
$5,000*.
The BMW X6 xDrive30d is now
available in Australian showrooms starting from $109,900*.
