X6 Pricing Almost Complete

Although final pricing has not yet been finalized, a recent document containing all of the 2008 Model Year base prices included the new X6. Preliminary reports suggest the Sport Activity Coupe will bear a roughly $10,000 price premium over the comparable X5 model on which it's based. However, where the X5 makes due with naturally aspirated 6- and 8-cylinder engines, the X6 will feature turbocharged versions as standard.

The 300-horsepower, 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder X6 xDrive35i will start in the mid-$50s, while the 400-horsepower, 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 X6 xDrive50i will begin in the mid-$60s. Final pricing will be announced before the second-quarter 2008 launch of the X6.

Re: X6 Pricing Almost Complete

My gawd, no more about Mercedes' lineup being to big.

A 335xi coupe would be perfect. Didn't know that one had arrived yet.

Re: X6 Pricing Almost Complete

Oh I see. I hadn't seen one at the dealer on the road yet. Choice is nice.

That's a pretty hefty premium over the X5

Re: X6 Pricing Almost Complete

I thought about that too, but it has the engines the X5 doesn't and it might stay that way until the 2010 model year.

Re: X6 Pricing Almost Complete

I've been informed by my dealer that the starting price of X6 will be at least 10,000 € more thank X5.

Re: X6 Pricing Almost Complete

but X6 has the new system Dynamic Performance Control (DPC) which X5 doenst. Also it has the new turbo v8 which X5 doesnt have either. I think the gab is justified.

Re: X6 Pricing Almost Complete

More than 10k would definitely be too much! In any case you're getting what you pay for, that's for sure.

Re: X6 Pricing Almost Complete

I think the price difference is ok.
It's not much different than the 5er -> 6er price difference, and those two cars even have the same technology, while the X6 has things the X5 hasn't.

550i base price in Holland: € 87.880

630i base price in Holland: € 91.600
650i base price in Holland: € 111.150

Clearly a big difference here too.
5er is for 'everybody', and 6er is for 'select few'. Same will be with X5 and X6.

Edit;

Here the price difference between X5 and X6 in my country:

X5 3.0d: € 73.840
X5 3.0sd: € 78.560

X6 xDrive30d: € 78.500
X6 xDrive35d: € 83.450

X5 4.8i: € 97.350

X6 xDrive50i: € 102.750

....looks like the difference is MUCH less than 5er/6er
