BMW has unveiled the X5 M Competition and X6 M Competition right after pulling the lid off the facelifted X5 and X6 SUVs.
-
While both german SUVs have the same power figures, i.e. 616bhp, their 4.4-litre V8 engine has been hybridised a bit.
-
The mammoth internal combustion engine is paired with a small 48-volt mild-hybrid system adding 12bhp to the overall power.
-
BMW claims a 0-100kmph time of 3.9 seconds for both SUVs and a top speed of 250kmph. The top speed can be increased to 290kmph with the optional M Driver’s Pack.
-
Instead of just being interconnected with the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) as before, the M xDrive all-wheel-drive system and the Active M Differential also work in unison with near-actuator wheel slip limitation for the first time in the new BMW X5 M Competition and BMW X6 M Competition.
-
Both models now have new matrix LED headlights with adaptive control and the kidney grille is now all-black in colour and of course, bigger.
-
Features include an ambient light bar with M logo to its graphic, plus the M leather steering wheel with its new carbon gearshift paddles. Image shows interior of the X6 M Competition.
-
Also to be found on the standard equipment list are M multifunction seats, knee pads, fine-grain Merino full leather trim and the Harman Kardon surround sound system.
-
After pressing the M Mode button on the centre console, drivers are able to choose between Road, Sport and Track settings.
