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 striking SUV coupe that blends bold styling with impressive performance and handling. Based on the X5 platform, it sacrifices some practicality for a more dramatic roofline and coupe-like profile. Despite its unconventional design, the X6 remains genuinely practical with a 580-litre boot, expandable to 1,530 litres with rear seats folded. The interior mirrors the X5's quality, featuring leather upholstery, powered heated seats, and sophisticated iDrive infotainment with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard on Sport trim.

All X6s are four-wheel drive with an eight-speed automatic gearbox, offering a choice of engines: the xDrive30d diesel (282bhp, 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds), xDrive40i petrol (328bhp, 5.7 seconds), xDrive40d diesel (335bhp, 5.5 seconds), and range-topping M50i (523bhp, 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 is significant, particularly on high-performance models. However, the xDrive40d M Sport offers an excellent balance of performance, economy, and value.

Best for: Buyers seeking a distinctive, high-performance SUV with striking styling, excellent driving dynamics, and premium comfort, who are less concerned with maximum practicality or running costs.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum interior space (the X5 is superior), budget-conscious buyers, or those seeking understated styling and lower 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 premium comfort, and are less concerned with maximum practicality or running costs.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum interior space, seek lower running costs, or prefer understated styling and greater value retention.

Competitive Position: The BMW X6 (2019-present) is a compelling choice in the premium SUV coupe segment, offering bold styling, impressive performance, and engaging handling that rivals struggle to match. Whilst the Range Rover Sport provides superior practicality and user satisfaction, and the Porsche Cayenne Coupe offers sharper dynamics, the X6 strikes an excellent balance between style, performance, and everyday usability. The Audi Q8 is a more understated alternative, though the X6's distinctive presence and driving engagement make it the standout choice for buyers seeking a statement vehicle. The xDrive40d M Sport represents exceptional value within the range, delivering near-M50i performance with significantly lower running costs.
