The use of the word \u201cupgrade\u201d isn\u2019t exactly conclusive, but sources close to Bavaria have told us a Life Cycle Impulse is planned. The LCI will obviously be also applied to the lesser versions of the two SUVs, including the M Performance models expected to transition to the \u201cM60i\u201d suffix and therefore echo the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/10\/30\/bmw-x7-m60i-the-best-luxury-suv-today\/\">X7 M60i<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_442758\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-442758\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-442758\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2024 bmw x6 facelift spy 00 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2024 bmw x6 facelift spy 00 830x553\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-442758\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20553%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00-830x553.jpg\" alt=\"2024 bmw x6 facelift spy 00 830x553\" width=\"830\" height=\"553\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2024-bmw-x6-facelift-spy-00.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of 2024 bmw x6 facelift spy 00 830x553\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-442758\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by instagram.com\/wilcoblok<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Both M versions are getting the new S68 engine, a twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 with mild-hybrid tech. It should make 530 hp in the M60i and 600 hp in the M models. Naturally, the entire X5\/X6 lineup will switch to the latest infotainment system, either the iDrive 8.0 or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/01\/04\/bmw-x1-idrive-9\/\">recently announced 8.5 version<\/a>. Styling changes are planned across the board, but not the drastic LCI the bigger X7 went through last year when it received split headlights.<\/p>\n<p>The facelifted X5 will bring another important novelty with the release of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2023\/01\/08\/2024-bmw-x5-xdrive50e-california-spy-video\/\">xDrive50e<\/a> to replace the current xDrive45e. The plug-in hybrid is rumored to receive a 20.9-kWh battery pack to deliver an electric range (WLTP) of more than 100 kilometers (62 miles). A massive power boost from 389 hp to 483 hp is also planned to echo the new 750e, as is quicker battery charging by increasing power from 3.7 kW to 7.4 kW.<\/p>\n<p>The M3 CS and the updated M SUVs are not the only vehicles coming out this year from M. 2023 will also bring us the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/04\/20\/bmw-i7-m70-660-horsepower\/\">i7 M70<\/a> as BMW\u2019s most powerful electric car while the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/10\/21\/the-bmw-xm-label-red-teased-again-in-munich\/\">XM Label Red<\/a> will take the role of the company\u2019s most potent road vehicle ever.<\/p>\n<p>Source: BMW<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After an eventful 2022 during which it celebrated its 50th anniversary with numerous exciting cars, the M division is gearing up for another busy year.
