Verdict
The BMW X6 G06 LCI costs RM107,000 more at RM735,800, but brings 335 hp and 450 Nm against the BMW X6 F16’s 306 hp and 400 Nm, cutting the 0-100 km/h time from 6.4 to 5.4 seconds. It also adds a 12-hp mild-hybrid motor, active safety with steering lane correction and autonomous braking, plus a 14.9-inch Curved Display. The F16 remains the sharper value case: CKD assembly, RM1,606 annual road tax versus RM1,637, a five-year manufacturer warranty and active cruise control. Its 580-litre boot is identical to the newer car’s.
Pick the BMW X6 F16 if RM628,800 pricing, CKD assembly, active cruise control and a five-year manufacturer warranty matter more than the newer car’s extra performance and safety systems.
Pick the BMW X6 G06 LCI if you want 335 hp, a 5.4-second 0-100 km/h time, steering lane correction and autonomous braking despite the RM735,800 price.
