Incomparable, irresistible:
The all-new BMW X6.
Jakarta. Today, BMW Indonesia introduced the second generation of its best-selling Sport Activity Coupé – the incomparable and irresistible all-new BMW X6. Boasting an even more sophisticated design and outstanding performance, the all-new BMW X6 strengthens its position as a leader in exclusive driving pleasure.
“The BMW X6 is the only Sports Activity Coupé in its segment which has already posted global sales of almost quarter of a million. The dynamic vehicle also enjoys a special status among its BMW X model rivals thanks to its irresistible allure, intoxicating performance attributes and innovative luxury,” said Karen Lim, President Director BMW Group Indonesia. “Starting in June, the new BMW X6 xDrive35i will meet the individual requirements of Indonesian customers in terms of charisma, luxury and dynamics,” added Karen.
The Design : Extrovert Athleticism
The design of the all-new BMW X6 body combines the robust presence of a BMW X model with the hallmark elegance of the brand’s Coupés to create an athletic appearance. The long bonnet, long wheelbase, short front overhang and set-back passenger compartment are characteristic design features of a BMW. Its high window sill and large wheel arches, plus the short distance between the front axle and the instrument panel, all indicate stability, highlighting the Sports Activity Coupé’s ties to the BMW X model family.
Dynamic proportions and flowing lines symbolise the all-new BMW X6’s agile handling on the road, while the muscular aspects of the vehicle’s design demonstrate its versatility and appetite for action off the beaten track. At the front end of the vehicle, the X-shaped contour lines of the bumper, the matt-silver underbody protection, the powerful design of the BMW kidney grille and the arrangement of the twin circular headlights and front foglamps are the most prominent signature features of a BMW X model. Sweeping chrome inserts and the three-dimensional design of the lights underline the sophisticated character of the Adaptive LED Headlights.
The side view of the all-new BMW X6 is likewise defined by eye-catching lines and sharply-drawn contours. The wedge shape of the silhouette is accentuated by a model-specific interpretation of the double swage lines. At the rear, the three-dimensional LED light strips of the two-section, L-shaped rear lights create a striking night-time look.
Interior: sporting elegance, modern luxury & advanced functionality.
The interior combines generous space with model-specific sports features and a luxurious ambience, while attractive design and equipment packages further highlight the exclusive style of the all-new BMW X6.
The all-new BMW X6 comes with standard equipment which goes well beyond the previous model. The ambient lighting designs included in the lighting package lend extra emphasis to the visual unity between the instrument panel and door panels. LED units arranged in a wrap-around contour line, as well as in other areas of the interior, create an alluring effect. Blue, white and orange light can be selected, either in monochrome or in six pre-stored combinations, via the iDrive system .
A 10.25-inch flatscreen Control Display comes as part of the standard-fitted iDrive operating system. Automatic tailgate operation and the 8-speed Steptronic sports transmission with steering wheel shift paddles are all included, as are leather trim, and four-zone air conditioning. The variability of the interior has also been improved. The rear seat backrests can now be split/folded 40 : 20 : 40, allowing the capacity of the load compartment to be increased in stages from 580 to a maximum 1,525 litres.
Design Pure Extravagance: lending the exterior and interior an exclusive aura.
The all-new BMW X6 comes with the Pure Extravagance equipment package, which adds striking, high-quality accents to the exterior. The Pure Extravagance package gives the all-new BMW X6 an exclusive appearance with a host of details, some of which – in addition to their uniform Cerium Grey colour scheme - also have a model-specific design. These include optical underbody protection elements in stainless steel for the front and rear apron; distinctive trim for the Air Breathers on the front side panels, the trim strip on the trailing edge of the tailgate and the exterior mirror caps; and 20-inch light-alloy wheels in V-spoke design and bi-colour finish with mixed-size tyres.
The Pure Extravagance package for the exterior is combined with the interior finished in ‘Dakota’ leather upholstery for the sport seats and BMW Individual ‘Walknappa’ leather for the instrument panel. The vehicle’s luxurious interior ambience is rounded off by Aluminium fine cutting interior trim strips.
Majestic performance: noticeably greater dynamic ability, fuel consumption cut by up to 22 percent & permanently active intelligent all-wheel drive.
The all-new BMW X6 is being launched as BMW X6 xDrive35i with a powerful three-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder petrol engine with twin-scroll turbocharger, Valvetronic, Double VANOS and High Precision Injection.
The all-new BMW X6 is blessed with exceptional efficiency and great performance abilities, an eight-speed Steptronic sport transmission with average fuel consumption (as per EU test cycle) of 11.8 km/liter and CO2 emissions of 198g/km. The three-liter engine generates 306 hp and reaches 100 km/h from standstill in just 6.4 seconds with a top speed of 240 km/h.The standard – and permanently active – intelligent all-wheel-drive system, BMW xDrive, optimises traction, directional stability and cornering dynamics, as the situation requires.
Further refined ride comfort can be achieved courtesy of air suspension at the rear axle and Dynamic Damper Control, which are included in the Comfort adaptive suspension package.
Extended BMW EfficientDynamics technology as standard .
As well as the COMFORT, SPORT and SPORT+ settings, the Driving Experience Control switch on the centre console also allows the driver to activate ECO PRO mode. In ECO PRO mode, the engine management, accelerator response and transmission characteristics are systematically tailored to support a very fuel-efficient, low-rpm driving style. At the same time, ECO PRO mode also programs electrically-powered functions like the climate control, heated seats and heated exterior mirrors for extra-efficient energy management. ECO PRO mode also includes a coasting function, which decouples the engine from the rest of the powertrain whenever the driver lifts off the accelerator at speeds between 50 and 160 km/h and doesn’t brake at the same time. This allows the new BMW X6 to coast without engine braking, ensuring maximised fuel efficiency.
The BMW Head-Up Display.
For the all-new BMW X6, the BMW Head-Up Display – which projects important information in full colour onto the windscreen – now includes additional content. When required, telephone contact lists and entertainment information can also be projected into the driver’s direct field of view. As well as vehicle speed, 3D graphics also show Check Control messages, navigation information – including lane recommendations – and further information supplied by the driver assistance systems.
Innovative features and BMW

Adaptive LED headlights, Comfort

character of the all-new BMW X6. Driving pleasure and long-distance
comfort, meanwhile, is further enhanced by features including the

The all-new BMW X6 xDrive35i will be available at BMW Authorized Dealers from June 2015. The vehicle will be offered at a price of Rp. 1,889,000,000 off-the-road, and comes with BMW Service Inclusive, which includes free-of-charge regular maintenance for 5 years or 60,000 km, whichever comes first, as well as a 36-month warranty without mileage limitations.
