Verdict

For a Malaysian buyer, this is a close facelift decision rather than a wholesale reinvention. The BMW X6 G06 LCI adds a 12 hp, 200 Nm mild-hybrid motor and trims the 0-100 km/h time from 5.5 to 5.4 seconds, despite weighing 110 kg more. It also brings 22-inch wheels and a 14.9-inch curved display. But the outgoing BMW X6 G06 remains the stronger long-distance specification, with Laser headlamps, adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go, and twin 10.2-inch rear screens. Its 9 L/100 km rating is useful when budgeting fuel.

G06

Pick the BMW X6 G06 if adaptive cruise control, Laser headlamps and rear-seat entertainment matter more than the facelift cabin and mild-hybrid assistance.

G06 LCI

Pick the BMW X6 G06 LCI if you want the 14.9-inch curved display, 22-inch wheels, a 12 hp mild-hybrid motor and the slightly quicker 5.4-second sprint.
