The third-generation BMW X6 coupe-SUV is all set to be launched in India tomorrow, on June 11. The new-gen model made its global debut in July last year, and BMW India has been accepting pre-bookings for the car since January 2020. The new BMW X6 will be offered in two variants - xLine and M Sport, with the option of only one turbocharged petrol engine for now. We already know a fair bit about the SUV, and the only key detail that is unknown right now is the price tag, and here is what we expect with regards to that.

The BMW X6 will be offered in two variants - xLine and M Sport, with only one engine option for now
Now 2020 BMW X6 will go up against the likes of the Audi Q8 and the Porsche Cayenne Coupe, and both SUV start at around Rs. 1.33 crore and Rs. 1.31 crore (ex-showroom, India) respectively. As for the previous-generation X6, it was priced in India around Rs. 95 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Now, the new BMW X6 is bigger, more stylish and more feature-packed compared to the old-gen model, however, given the fact that it will be initially launched with only a 3.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, we expect it to undercut both its rivals and will get a starting price of around Rs. 1.1 crore for the xLine variant, going up to Rs. 1.3 crore to Rs. 1.4 crore for the M Sport variant (all ex-showroom, India).
