German engineers of the company "BMW" every yearare engaged in updating and improvement of their model range of cars, as well as the development of new crossovers and cars. And in 2014 the concern decided to restyling its brand-new crossover BMW X6 2014. The review of this car and photos is in our article.
The design of the updated car, it can be said,half-car. But still the Germans did not deprive the novelty of massive details and aggressiveness. So, restyling series of crossovers received more advanced optics and new bumpers. Little changed and the grille. Thanks to the proprietary "angel eyes" the look of the car becomes even more romantic and mysterious.
Рельефности новому внедорожнику хватает вполне – along the perimeter of the body beautiful aerodynamic and broken lines and, of course, muscular bloated wheel arches. Round "guns" of fog lamps harmoniously look at the background of black inserts and chrome frames with stripes. Clearance even externally seems very large. True, because of low-profile tires, it's very difficult to call it a full-fledged all-wheel-drive SUV (and although there is a 4-by-4 drive in the package). In the rest, the BMW X6 2014 completely copies the features of its predecessor X5 series. True, it looks quite modern.
It is worth noting that this year's X6th is a bitrecovered in size. So, the total length of the SUV is 4909 millimeters, the width is 1989 millimeters, and the height is 1702 millimeters. At the same time, the ground clearance of the novelty remained practically unchanged and remained at the level of 21 centimeters. By the way, despite the increase in external dimensions, the curb weight of the car decreased by 40 kilograms. According to German developers, the weight reduction of the crossover design was achieved through the use of lighter aluminum parts, thermoplastic and magnesium.
The interior of the BMW X6 2014 has a five-seater layout.
На мировой рынок машина будет выходить с новой line of power units. In total there are three. So, the weakest (if I may say so) is the 258-strong turbodiesel, which will be presented in a single configuration xDrive 30d. The next engine will be available in the sports version of the M50d. Due to the presence of turbocharging, its total power grows to 381 horsepower, with the peak torque at 740 N / m.
Also buyers will be available and gasolineversion xDrive 50i. Cars of this modification are equipped with a powerful 450-strong unit with a double turbo. According to the manufacturer, the xDrive 50i version will be the most powerful of the entire model range, since the "hundred" dials in just 4.8 seconds. Not every car can boast such high-speed characteristics!
The company plans to establish a secondgeneration "BMW" 306-strong six-cylinder petrol engine. It will go on sale together with a new version of xDrive 35i in 2015. In addition, the production of the diesel version xDrive 40d with a straight-six 6-cylinder turbodiesel for 313 "horses" will be planned. All the above-described power units will be equipped with a single automatic transmission at 8 speeds.
It should be noted that in Russia the start of salesThe new BMW X6 2014 is scheduled for December this year. At the same time, the crossover will be supplied to the domestic market in one all-wheel drive version. For an additional fee, the buyer is given the opportunity to install an electronically controlled rear differential with a variable thrust vectoring and a system for sustained cornering at high speeds.
As for the cost of the German BMW X6 2014, the price of the Bavarian novelty is not yet officially known. Its Bavarian manufacturer intends to announce in August of this year.
As for the equipment ... There is nothing Germansthey did not hide and gave a complete picture of the idea of the level of equipment of the novelty this year. So, the basic package will include cast nineteen-inch wheels, dual-zone climate control, an extended package of active and passive safety, leather trim, ventilated disc brakes on all 4 wheels, bi-xenon optics, LED brake lights, an electromechanical power steering, and electric tailgate. As you can see, the level of equipment, as for the "base", is quite good.
