BMW X6 (2019-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Undeniable road presence	Divisive looks will put off some buyers
Drives remarkably well for such a heavy car	The X5 is more roomy and less compromised
Still practical, despite SUV coupe body style	High price and running costs of the quickest versions

Quick Summary

The BMW X6 (2019-present) is a bold, divisive coupe SUV that combines striking styling with impressive performance and driving dynamics. Based on the X5 platform, the X6 sacrifices some practicality for its distinctive sloping roofline and dramatic appearance. Despite this compromise, it remains genuinely practical with a 580-litre boot expanding to 1,530 litres with rear seats folded. The range includes petrol and diesel options, from the xDrive30d with 282bhp to the range-topping M50i with 523bhp, all featuring eight-speed automatic gearboxes and all-wheel drive.

The X6 delivers exceptional driving dynamics for its size and weight, with taut suspension and adjustable drive modes. Even the entry-level xDrive30d accelerates to 62mph in 6.1 seconds, whilst the M50i achieves this in just 4.3 seconds. Running costs are substantial, with fuel economy ranging from 39-43mpg for the xDrive30d to low-to-mid 20s for the M50i. Insurance is costly, and depreciation accounts for significant ownership expenses. However, for buyers prioritising bold styling, performance, and driving engagement over maximum practicality, the X6 delivers compelling appeal.

Best for: Drivers seeking a distinctive, high-performance SUV with striking styling, excellent driving dynamics, and those who value road presence over conventional practicality.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those prioritising maximum interior space (the X5 is more practical), or buyers concerned about fuel economy and running costs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the X6 if: You desire a distinctive, high-performance SUV with striking styling, excellent driving dynamics, and prioritise road presence and performance over maximum practicality.

Consider alternatives if: You require maximum interior space (the X5 is more practical), are budget-conscious, or concerned about fuel economy and running costs.

Competitive Position: The BMW X6 (2019-present) is a compelling choice in the premium coupe SUV segment, offering bold styling, exceptional driving dynamics, and impressive performance across its diverse engine range. Whilst the Range Rover Sport and Porsche Cayenne Coupe score marginally higher with users and experts, the X6 remains a strong contender, particularly for those valuing BMW's driving engagement and distinctive design. The Audi Q8, whilst stylish, lags behind in value proposition. The X6's xDrive40d M Sport represents excellent value, delivering near-M50i performance with significantly lower running costs. For buyers seeking a divisive, driver-focused coupe SUV that turns heads, the X6 is a compelling proposition.
