BMW has unveiled the new X6, adding on to the slew of new models BMW has already introduced this year; expected arrival in Singapore early 2020

MUNICH, GERMANY

BMW continues its product onslaught this year with the launch of the new X6, with the third-generation version of the premium coupe Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) set to compete with a whole myriad of new challengers that have been unveiled in recent times, including the Porsche Cayenne Coupe, Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, and Audi Q8.

The new X6 follows on from a busy year for BMW, which has thus far already introduced the X7 luxury SUV, the updated 7 Series limousine, the all-new 1 Series, and the 8 Series Gran Coupe. The new X6 is set to roll off the company’s US plant in Spartanburg, North Carolina in November this year, and is expected to arrive in Singapore by the first half of 2020.
