Alfardan Automobiles, the official BMW Group importer in Qatar, has announced the arrival of the X6 XDrive 35i variant to join the all-new BMW X6 50i that was launched in the country last year.
The extrovert design of the new BMW X6 blends the robustness and versatility of a BMW X model with the sporting elegance typical of the brand’s coupés, according to a statement, which points out that the interior combines generous space with model-specific sports features and a luxurious ambiance, while design and equipment packages further highlight the exclusive style of the all-new BMW X6 xDrive 35i.
Ihab Allam, general manager of Alfardan Automobiles, said: “Alfardan Automobiles has gone from strength to strength in the Qatari market, with exceptional customer service and continually offering the latest models from the BMW Group. With the X6 35i, we offer yet another variant to a long list of models, engine variants and packages that give our buyers the choice that enables them to tailor their car to be suited to their tastes and needs.”
The X6 comes with an exclusive roster of standard equipment, which goes beyond that of the previous model: bi-xenon headlights, 19-inch light-alloy wheels, automatic tailgate operation and the eight-speed Steptronic sport transmission with steering wheel shift paddles are all included, as are leather trim, two-zone climate control and auto-dimming rear-view mirror. Giving functionality an extra boost are the 40:20:40 split/folding rear seat backrests, which allow load compartment capacity to expand from 580 litres to 1,525 litres (75 litres more than the previous model), the statement explains.
Ensuring that the increased performance is accompanied by an up to 22% reduction in average fuel consumption are the BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, the standard-fitted eight-speed Steptronic sport transmission, extensive BMW Efficient Dynamics technology, weight-saving optimisations and enhanced aerodynamics, helping the BMW X6 xDrive 35i reach a maximum speed of 240km/h.
The standard – and permanently active – intelligent all-wheel-drive system BMW xDrive optimises traction, directional stability and cornering dynamics, as the situation requires. For improved dynamics, xDrive can optionally link up with adaptive suspension packages, including Dynamic Performance Control, the statement adds.
