The twin turbo V8 comes with a mild hybrid system as well which makes 530bhp and has all wheel drive plus rear wheel steering. 

This massive SUV coupe as a result can do 0-100 km/h in 4.3 seconds. 

The new X6 was shown in India before at the launch of the M440i and is a large car with plenty of presence. 

The new X6 gets a sportier look with 21inch wheels and M sport detailing. 

Near 5m long the new X6 is a big car but is a sportier design due to its SUV coupe-like styling as seen with the way the roof flows and tapers down. 

The SUV will compete with many cars like the Mercedes-Benz GLE coupe to the Porsche Cayenne Coupe plus the Audi SQ8 amongst others. 

Having a large V8 engine is a bonus for the car with petrol engines in demand for buyers in this segment. 

The X6 was also the original SUV coupe and started this design trend.
