Pros

Powerful, smooth engine choices
The latest in BMW infotainment
High-quality interior

Sloping roofline means less cargo space

What's new

Part of the third X6 generation introduced for 2020

Overview

As the founding member of the coupe-like SUV genre, the midsize BMW X6 exists to elevate form over function. Its signature sloping roofline gives it a sportier look than the related BMW X5, though it comes at the expense of cargo space. For 2024, the X6 gets a refresh complete with revised exterior styling, new interior tech, which includes a new curved digital display, and more powerful engines.

Edmunds spotlight: More powerful six-cylinder engine

For 2024, BMW has redesigned the X6's six-cylinder engine giving it as much power as V8 engines enjoyed only a few years ago. The turbocharged inline-six cylinder engine is now making 375 horsepower and a max 398 lb-ft of torque. That's a significant bump of 40 hp and 66 lb-ft over last year's model and makes the six-cylinder a much more attractive option, even for buyers who value strong straight-line performance. As a bonus, there's a mild hybrid system to add a bit of efficiency and additional smoothness to the whole experience.

Competitors to consider

The BMW X6’s chief rival remains the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, which also received a refresh for the 2024 model year. Like the BMW, the GLE packs in plenty of luxury features along with similar more svelte exterior design. The Audi Q8 also fits the bill and, with its less rakish profile than the X6, provides a more usable back seat and better visibility.

Which X6 does Edmunds recommend?

As tempting as the optional turbocharged V8 is, we'd put our money into xDrive40i. We find the redesigned inline six-cylinder engine to be plenty powerful. As for options, consider getting the Executive package for the panoramic roof and upgraded sound system and the Climate Control package for the four-zone climate control and ventilated front seats.

BMW X6 models

The 2024 BMW X6 is a midsize luxury SUV with seating for five available in two trim levels: xDrive40i and M60i xDrive. The main differentiator between the trim levels is the engine. The xDrive40i is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine (375 horsepower, 398 lb-ft of torque), while the M60i xDrive uses a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 (523 hp, 553 lb-ft). Both models are equipped with standard all-wheel drive and use an eight-speed automatic transmission. Keep reading for a rundown of the X6's key standard and optional features.

2024 BMW X6 xDrive40i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

In June 2023, we acquired a pristine 2024 BMW X6 with zero mileage. However, our ownership experience took an unexpected turn when, at around 6000 miles, the car experienced a complete breakdown on December 20, 2024, during my morning commute. Preceding this, there was a disconcerting loud banging noise, reminiscent of someone striking the engine with a hammer. Seeking assistance, we …

2020 BMW X6 M50i 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)

You may want a-lot of power but you wont need it. And it burbles when you shift at the right moment. Has a-lot of space and the sleek look makes everything look 10 times better. You can gap people easily if you race and it keeps up with a M850 at first. Downside is its not the best for really long road trips for the driver.

BMW X6 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe

Perhaps the most direct competitor to the X6 is the GLE Coupe. Packed with an equal amount of luxury and cutting-edge technology, the Mercedes also offers powerful six- and eight-cylinder turbocharged engines. If you value all-around performance more than luxury, the Mercedes might have the edge, but both SUVs are capable and comfortable.

BMW X6 vs. Audi Q8

Audi's Q8 offers a more practical compromise to the coupe-like SUV styling trend. That gives it a bit more headroom and better visibility and makes it a little easier to get in and out of than the X6. The Q8 offers similar levels of tech, but the BMW's systems are a little newer. To keep up with the X6 M60i xDrive, you'd have to move up to the Audi SQ8.

BMW X6 vs. Porsche Cayenne Coupe

If your luxury SUV needs to be truly performance-oriented, look no further than the Cayenne Coupe. Though it is more sparsely equipped than the X6, even the entry-level Cayenne Coupe offers excellent handling and an all-around sportier driving experience. Just be aware that adding options to the Porsche can get expensive in a hurry.

2024 BMW X6 First Impressions

byKurt Niebuhr

•1/25/2023 (updated 2/07/2023)

What is the X6?

The 2024 BMW X6 is a midsize luxury SUV, based on the X5 but with a slanted rear section of the roof to give it a more stylish, sleeker look than the X5's boxy profile. The X6's landmark coupe-like shape when it debuted has been cribbed by rivals. So closely related are the two SUVs that when one gets an update, the other one will too. And that's exactly what's happening for 2024.

Exterior styling updates are largely confined to the front and rear lights, but there are also changes to the grille surround and lower intakes and various small details. Inside, there's a striking new screen setup, which features a curved display, similar to the one found in the iX, BMW's futuristic electric SUV. Other changes to the interior layout include reprofiled air vents, a new gear selector and a few more touch-sensitive buttons. Both available engines feature the same displacement as the outgoing versions, but very little else is shared. The inline six-cylinder engine in the xDrive 40i gains a whole lot of power, while the turbocharged V8 in the M60 xDrive has been redesigned altogether.

What's under the X6's hood?

Two powertrains are available for the 2024 X6. All-wheel drive is standard across the board and the 40i designation comes equipped with a redesigned 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine. The new engine cranks out 375 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque, which is a substantial increase of 40 hp and 51 lb-ft over the six-cylinder used in 2023 X6. It also has an updated mild hybrid system that helps to smooth out the engine's stop-start function and enhance acceleration and fuel efficiency. BMW estimates the six-cylinder version can sprint to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds.

Models equipped with the turbocharged V8 are badged as M60 xDrive. The new 4.4-liter V8 churns out an impressive 523 hp and 553 lb-ft. It, too, is augmented by a 48-volt mild hybrid system to help with smoothness and quick bursts of even more power. It's safe to say this engine should help put the Sport in "Sports Activity Coupe" and get the M60 to 60 mph in just over 4 seconds flat. As with the inline-six variant, the mild hybrid system's electric motor has been integrated into the eight-speed transmission, allowing for tidier packaging and smoother stop-start operation.

M60 versions receive four-wheel steering, which is a great feature in tight parking lots and adds to stability at highway speeds. A self-leveling, two-axle air suspension is optional, and the adaptive M suspension is standard on the M60 model and optional on the six-cylinder 40i models.

How's the X6's interior?

The biggest change inside the X6 is a sizable single pane of glass that houses both the 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and the 14.9-inch center-mounted infotainment screen. More controls have been integrated into the digital interface, something buyers may or may not like. Reprofiled air vents almost disappear into the newly designed dashboard.

A mix of traditional with virtual touch-sensitive buttons exist around the X6's iDrive controller for functions like the parking brake, drive modes and the optional two-axle air suspension. A gear selector with a new design sits among the buttons and, as on other higher-end BMWs, it can be optioned in glass.

Standard upholstery is a synthetic leather BMW calls Sensafin and features a bold, quilted design but natural leather can also be specified, as well as BMW's very comfortable multi-contour front seats with both heating and ventilation. We don't anticipate more headroom being added to the rear seats of the X6, so if you're likely to carry adult-size passengers you might want to look at the more traditionally styled X5.

How's the X6's tech?

Behind the new digital screens is BMW's new Operating System 8. Faster and more flexible, the new OS allows for increased connectivity and features a more smartphone-esque menu structure. Another nifty new feature is the augmented reality functionality for the navigation system. Allowing for more precise turn-by-turn directions, systems like these are very helpful when you're dealing with unfamiliar areas and difficult intersections.

Other tech features include a new digital key for both Apple and Android phone users, an orchestrated entry lighting display, automated parking controllable from either inside or outside of the vehicle, and a new semi-automated hands-free driving system capable of speeds up to 85 mph on selected highways.

What's the price for the 2024 BMW X6?

Pricing starts at $74,895 for the X6 xDrive40i, including the destination fee. That's $6,400 more than the X5 xDrive40i. Such is the price for style. The boffo X6 M60i will set you back $94,595. Of course, this is all before you add a single option, of which we're sure there will be plenty to consider once the X6 goes on sale this spring.

Edmunds says

The X6's refresh for 2024 will update the original SUV-slash-coupe with quite a few styling tweaks and the latest BMW multimedia system and interior screens. Check back with Edmunds for more information on the X6 as well as our eventual Expert Rating.

•1/25/2023 (updated 2/07/2023)

What is the X6?

The 2024 BMW X6 is a midsize luxury SUV, based on the X5 but with a slanted rear section of the roof to give it a more stylish, sleeker look than the X5's boxy profile. We expect both vehicles to get a refresh this year that will update the multimedia systems to BMW's latest version of iDrive and include the addition of a curved display like the one currently found in BMW's iX electric SUV.

That also means the X6 should gain wireless connectivity for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Exterior styling updates are likely to be minor. The X6's landmark shape when it debuted has been cribbed by rivals and it should retain its coupe-like appearance. Vehicles like the Audi Q8, Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and Porsche Cayenne Coupe should give the X6 a shoutout anytime someone compliments their styling.

The X6's profile does come with some compromises. It has less cargo room and backseat headroom than the X5. But many buyers are looking for SUV-like ride height and a commanding seating position and want some sleekness as part of the package.

Engine choices should remain the same, with xDrive40i models featuring a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that produces 335 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. The M50i ups the ante with a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 that pumps out 523 hp and 553 lb-ft. An eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive both come standard. We cover the X6 M, a high-performance take on the X6, separately.
