Verdict
The BMW X6 G06 LCI justifies its RM37,000 higher price with a 335 hp mild-hybrid powertrain, 450 Nm and a 5.4-second 0-100 km/h time, against the BMW X6 E71 LCI’s 306 hp, 400 Nm and 6.7 seconds. It also brings autonomous braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane steering correction and a far more current 14.9-inch display. The E71 LCI remains the lower-entry choice at RM698,800, with an 85-litre tank and rear air suspension, but its 236 g/km CO2 figure and 10.1 L/100 km rating underline its older mechanical package.
Pick the BMW X6 E71 LCI if RM698,800 pricing, an 85-litre fuel tank and rear air suspension matter more than newer driver assistance and outright pace.
Pick the BMW X6 G06 LCI if you want 335 hp, a 5.4-second 0-100 km/h run, active safety assistance and the 14.9-inch BMW Curved Display.
