BMW X6

BMW X6

The armored BMW X6 Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) is a crossover luxury vehicle that combines the versatility and utility provided by SUVs with the handling of a big BMW coupe, while providing the structural capacity to support the additional weight of the ballistic armoring. IAG has developed a proprietory armoring design engineered specifically to provide ballistic and blast protection for the BMW X6/X6M. The second generation X6 was launched in 2014 featuring a new eight-speed automatic transmission and a slightly larger luggage bay. Like the other models in the BMW range powered by the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8, the xDrive50i benefits from increased power, up 50 hp and 30 lb-ft from its predecessor to 450hp and 480 lb-ft of torque.

Chevrolet Suburban

The armored Chevrolet Suburban is a versatile security vehicle suitable for a wide range of applications ranging from law enforcement and military to personal and dignitary protection. With the redesign of the platform in 2015, GM introduced three variations of the chassis: 1500, 2500 and 3500 offering different payload capacities.  The most commonly available chassis is the 1500, however it is the weakest of the three.  The 2500 and 3500 are the ideal candidates for armoring due to their higher payload capacities.  IAG is able to source these chassis through special order.  All series of the new Chevrolet Suburban can be armored to CEN B6/ NIJ III, however for clients looking for higher level of protection up to CEN B7 and NIJ IV, we recommend using the 2500 and 3500 series.
