6 BMW X2020 Test Drive
Content
The aggressive third generation Muscle cars are built on the basis of the same X-5. But compared to its predecessor, this car is superior in everything. The 2020 model has been updated in everything: external design, interior and, of course, its “filling”.
Let's see what the engineers of the German concern BMW AG have changed in the new series.
Auto design
The car body is made in the style familiar to the X-series. The changes affected the entire front part. The radiator grill became larger and received clear chopped edges. Another highlight was the highlighting of the ribs of the central air intake. Therefore, the car can be recognized even at night.
Aggressiveness of appearance is given by thin headlights of the front optics. It is worth noting that all the headlights are equipped with bright LEDs.
Dimensions of a car (in millimeters):
| Length | 4935 |
| Width | 2004 |
| Height | 1696 |
| Wheelbase | 2975 |
| Clearance | 216 |
Sloping body shapes give the kupesh sportiness. On the roof there is a separate spoiler. And the rear bumper is decorated with a stylish diffuser that gives the appearance of completeness.
How does a car go?
As expected, the German manufacturer equipped the car with a large number of assistants. This included assistants starting uphill, monitoring blind spots, lane retention and emergency braking. In more expensive trim levels there is an assistant for avoiding accidents (warning of a possible frontal and side collision).
The car behaves confidently in the corners. This is achieved by the Dynamic Handing system, which stabilizes the roll angle of the car. Therefore, performing a turn, the X-6 "bites" into the asphalt and shows excellent stability until the maneuver ends. And the air suspension will make driving comfortable on any type of road.
Technical specifications
Under the hood, the manufacturer of the novelty installs four types of engines. These are two gasoline and two diesel. Type of engines - “bass” V-shaped eight and in-line six.

All models of the new X6 are equipped with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Air suspension with differential M Sport has four modes of adjustment of the chassis. Cars can be adapted for riding on snow, gravel, stones or sand. Therefore, we have an almost rally car with a magnificent "appearance".
Salon
Inside, the new model is a bit like the interior of the X-5. The high-tech console features a 12,3-inch multimedia touch screen. And the same dashboard screen.
It is worth noting that the manufacturer abandoned the classic sensors. All translated into electronic mode.
The basic equipment includes sports seats and a panoramic sunroof. A factory lighting torpedoes and control buttons on the doors give comfort during a trip in the dark.
Fuel consumption
The model, presented in Frankfurt at the motor show at the end of 2019, can be considered quite economical. It is purely psychologically accepted that an indicator below ten liters per 100 kilometers is a good indicator of profitability.
The average fuel consumption in mixed mode for the top versions of the engine:
| Drive40i, automatic transmission, 4WD | M50i, automatic transmission, 4WD | M50d, automatic transmission, 4WD | Drive30d, automatic transmission, 4WD | |
| Mixed mode? l / 100 km. | 8,6 | 11,0 | 7,2 | 6.6 |
Bavarian cars have become faster and more powerful. But compared with the previous version, the X6 retained its efficiency.
Cost of maintenance
Novelty has not yet appeared in service stations. However, experience in repairing the older brother of the X-6 is already enough. Given the similarity of the main mechanical components, the cost of the main work for the new product will be:
| Type of work: | Cost, cu |

As the test drive showed, the 2020 Bavarian “sturdy” of 100 turned out to be excellent in every way. It is ideal for urban use. Consumption per XNUMX kilometers indicates this. At the same time, the car has the data of a real SUV - a custom air suspension.
