Verdict
The BMW X6 G06 costs RM712,750 and remains the sharper value if its 335 hp, 450 Nm straight-six petrol drivetrain, adaptive cruise control and rear-seat twin 10.2-inch entertainment screens matter more than facelift kit. The RM23,050 dearer BMW X6 G06 LCI adds mild-hybrid assistance, a 12 hp/200 Nm motor, 22-inch wheels and a 14.9-inch curved display, while shaving 0.1 seconds from the 0-100 km/h time. But it is 110 kg heavier and swaps adaptive cruise for passive cruise control. For a used buy, the earlier car has unusually strong equipment.
Pick the BMW X6 G06 if you want the lower entry price, adaptive cruise control and rear-seat entertainment without giving up 335 hp or 450 Nm.
Pick the BMW X6 G06 LCI if you want the newer mild-hybrid powertrain, 22-inch wheels, 14.9-inch display and a marginally quicker 5.4-second sprint.
