2023 will bring a mild facelift to the BMW X6
These spy photos – taken on the German Nürburgring race track – reveal the full upgrades to the overall design for the first time, enough to keep it fresh until the end of its lifecycle in 2026. The X6 Sports Activity Coupe will get a slightly wider kidney grille, paired with sleeker headlights. The air curtains at the front have also been redesigned for a more aggressive look. It’s the first time we can also see the mild changes to the bumper and taillights.
Most of the changes are expected to take place inside the car. Previous spy photos and rumours point to a large curved display, similar to the BMW i4 and iX. Furthermore, the facelifted X6 will also likely lose its current stylish electronic gear shifter in favour of the minimalistic selector seen on the BMW iX, that will also spawn across other future models of the family such as G09 XM, G26 i4, upcoming G05 X5 LCI, G70/71 7 Series, U06 2 Series and U11 X1. Insiders also talk about new tech and options, like the Ambient Air and Acoustic Glazing, and of course, the illuminated kidney grille with a mesh design.
The LCI X6 will also feature BMW’s brand-new Operating System infotainment system previewed on the iX. The iconic iDrive knob is here to stay as part of the new, integrated operating concept. In terms of engine lineup, we expect to see a tweak to the current four and six-cylinder units. A B58 refresh has been rumoured for a while. With a production schedule set for spring 2023, we expect BMW to unveil the facelifted X6 either late this year or early into the next one.
