According to data from GoodCarBadCar, BMW delivered almost 10,000 examples of the X6 in the United States last year, which was actually an improvement over 2020. However, the SUV-coupe is starting to show its age and the Bavarian company wants to fix it. with an upcoming facelift. We’ve already previewed the refreshed X6 and based on those photos, we have a new render that previews the design revisions planned for the model.
This digital drawing comes from our colleagues and friends at Engine.es and represents the luxury SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle, an exclusive term used by BMW) with minor visual revisions. There are probably a lot of people who would agree that the X6 has a polarizing design (with Top of the line host Chris Harris being the most vocal of them), and the Bavarians will likely try to polish his weakest points. Just as with most LCIs (Life Cycle Impulse, another BMW-exclusive term) from Munich, don’t expect any serious changes, though.

As you can see from the attached image, there are some tweaks to the front fascia, including slimmer headlights, a more aggressively shaped lower bumper and a new design pattern for the grilles. Speaking of the kidney-shaped radiator grilles, we don’t expect them to get any bigger, given that the X6 already has fairly large openings that dominate the front.
As spy photos have already confirmed, the subtle exterior changes will be accompanied by more pronounced interior upgrades. There, a large curved enclosure will likely incorporate two separate screens, one for the infotainment system and one for the digital instrument cluster. Additional changes will likely be made to the center console, although the disguise and test gear in the spy shots didn’t allow us to see everything in detail.
We’ll likely see the facelifted X6 around the second half of the year when we know if the revisions previewed in this render are accurate.
