The all new 2015 BMW X6 is now available in Australia and while prices have increased across the range, specification and features is up on all models.
BMW are aware that X6 buyers are more interested in luxury and performance appointments than their X5-buying counterparts, so the full X6 range has been tweaked to reflect a more premium offering.
BMW X-Series product manager, Brendan Michel,
told CarAdvice at the Australian launch in Melbourne last week that “BMW
acknowledge the original (E71) X6 was a risky move, but it was one that
has paid off”.
BMW originally forecast 150,000 units for the lifetime
production of the X6, but with more than 260,000 X6’s having rolled out
of the Spartenburg, North Carolina factory , the SUV coupe-crossover has
paved the way for other models in the BMW line up (X4) as well as competitor brands (Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe).
Lessons learned from Australian sales of the E71 X6 have defined much of the specification of the new F16 2015 BMW X6 range.
Mr Michel noted that over
90% of E71 buyers opted for the 20-inch wheel package when purchasing
their vehicles – so these are now included as standard equipment across
the range.
More than two-out-of-three
X6′s are expected to be sold with the M-Sport package, so it has been
keenly priced and includes the M-Adaptive suspension system.
