CONTINUALLY catering for the discerning customers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mohamad Yousuf Naghi Motors, the official BMW Group importer in Saudi Arabia, announced the arrival of the X6 XDrive 35i variant to join the all-new BMW X6 50i that was launched in the Kingdom late last year. The extrovert design of the new BMW X6 blends the robustness and versatility of a BMW X model with the sporting elegance typical of the brand's coupés. The interior combines generous space with model-specific sports features and a luxurious ambience, while attractive design and equipment packages further highlight the exclusive style of the all-new BMW X6 xDrive 35i. Commenting on the arrival of the new vehicle, Stavros Paraskevaides, Managing Drector, Mohammed Yousuf Naghi Motors, said: “The BMW X model range account for almost 20% of our total sales in the Kingdom, and the X6 is our second best selling X model, so the all-new BMW X6 xDrive 35i addition will add to our X model success. The Kingdom customers are very knowledgeable when it comes to their cars and are always up to date with the latest models coming out from the German manufacturer, as the importer of these premium vehicles it is our duty to bring all the latest models to our customers, to offer them the complete range.” The Design Pure Extravagance equipment package adds striking, high-quality accents to both the interior and the exterior. Additionally the new BMW X6 comes with a suitably exclusive roster of standard equipment, which goes beyond that of the previous model: bi-xenon headlights, 19-inch light-alloy wheels, automatic tailgate operation and the 8-speed Steptronic sport transmission with steering wheel shift paddles are all included, as are leather trim, two-zone climate control and auto-dimming rear-view mirror. Lending functionality an extra boost are the 40: 20: 40 split/folding rear seat backrests, which allow load compartment capacity to expand from 580 litres to as much as 1,525 litres (75 litres more than the predecessor model.) The BMW X 35i also comes with an M sport package option, emphasizing dynamic features such as light alloy wheels with mixed tyres, M Aerodynamics package and Adaptive M Suspension. The interior includes electrically adjustable sports seats with memory function or comfort seats at the front as well as the M leather steering wheel with multifunction buttons and paddle shifters, the M footrest, an anthracite-colored BMW Individual headliner and aluminum hexagon interior trim. Ensuring that the noticeably increased performance of the new BMW X6 is accompanied by an up to 22 percent reduction in average fuel consumption are BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, the standard-fitted eight-speed Steptronic sport transmission, extensive BMW Efficient Dynamics technology, weight-saving optimizations and enhanced aerodynamics, all help with the BMW X6 xDrive 35i to reach a maximum speed of 240 km/h. The standard – and permanently active – intelligent all-wheel-drive system BMW xDrive optimizes traction, directional stability and cornering dynamics, as the situation requires. For improved dynamics, xDrive can optionally link up with adaptive suspension packages, including Dynamic Performance Control. — SG
