BMW X6 2024

BMW introduced the original X6 in 2008, pioneering the sporty coupe SUV category. The third and latest generation launched in 2019 for the 2020 model year, featuring significant upgrades in styling, technology, and performance capabilities. Since then, BMW has continued to update the X6 with incremental tech and performance improvements, maintaining its position as a high-end, sporty SUV option.

The BMW X6 rides on BMW’s CLAR (Cluster Architecture) platform, shared with the X5 and other high-end BMW models. The X6’s suspension setup prioritizes a blend of agility and comfort, equipped with adaptive dampers across all trims. Engine options include a 3.0-liter inline-six with 48V mild-hybrid assistance, delivering 280 kW, and a potent 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 for the M50i trim, which generates 390 kW. All models are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and xDrive all-wheel-drive system as standard.

BMW packs the X6 with a wide array of technology, including the latest iDrive 7.0 system with a dual-display setup – a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display. Standard features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, navigation, and over-the-air updates. Higher trims add more convenience and luxury, with options for a head-up display, gesture control, and a premium Harman Kardon or Bowers & Wilkins sound system.

The BMW X6’s aggressive stance and coupe-like roofline give it a sporty, athletic look that sets it apart from traditional SUVs. Its front features a wide kidney grille, which illuminates on certain models, and sleek LED headlamps with the option for adaptive Laserlight technology. BMW’s aerodynamics are evident in the sculpted body lines and rear diffuser, enhancing both its aesthetic and performance. Available 21-inch wheels add to the SUV's bold presence.

Inside, the X6 combines premium materials with BMW’s signature driver-focused layout. High-quality leather, customizable ambient lighting, and premium wood or metal trims create an upscale atmosphere. Standard seating includes 14-way power adjustments and heated front seats, while higher trims add ventilated and massaging options. The sloped roofline slightly reduces rear headroom compared to the X5, but it retains ample space for five passengers and provides 580 liters of cargo space.
