Design & Presence

The BMW X6 imposes itself with a coupe-like silhouette and an oversized kidney grille that divides opinion but never fades into the background; at about 4.96 metres long and roughly 2.00 metres wide it sits closer to luxury SUV territory than compact crossover. The sloping roofline and high beltline give a dramatic, coupe-SUV look that reads expensive and aggressive at traffic lights, while a curb weight between roughly 2,240 and 2,445 kg underlines the substantial feel. That mass and size translate to a planted road stance and motorway confidence, though the swooping rear roof does eat into rear headroom compared with boxier rivals. Expect heads to turn, but also to check parking space dimensions before choosing a city-centre garage.

Interior & Usability

The cabin mixes modern BMW minimalism with premium materials: soft-touch surfaces, contrast stitching and a driver-oriented cockpit centred on the iDrive display and a clear digital instrument cluster. Seating is for five, with supportive front seats tuned for long-distance comfort and optional adaptive seats for extra refinement on long runs. Controls remain mostly logical and tactile, though some functions live inside menus on the touchscreen and take a moment to find. Overall fit and finish aim at the executive market, with an ambience that feels worth the price of admission.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Boot space is a reasonable 580 litres with the rear seats up and expands to a maximum of about 1,530 litres with the rear row folded flat, so the X6 handles weekly shopping and weekend luggage without drama. Five seats are standard, but the sloping roofline reduces rear headroom and the middle rear seat is better for short journeys than long-haul comfort. A fuel tank around 80–83 litres and payload figures in the 595–695 kg range mean the X6 can carry people and kit for holiday runs but plan luggage packing carefully for five adults. Practicality is competent rather than class-leading — stylish compromise beats utilitarianity here.

Driving & Handling

All-wheel drive and a range of adaptive chassis options keep the X6 stable and assured on the motorway, and the steering feels purposeful even if the heavy curb weight blunts agility compared with lighter rivals. Powertrains range from efficient diesels through 298–352 hp units to petrol MHEV options performing around 380 hp, up to the 530 hp M60i and the 625 hp X6 M Competition, with 0–100 km/h times spanning roughly 6.1 to 3.9 seconds depending on spec. That torque — up to approximately 750 Nm in the hottest trims — means effortless overtakes and confident motorway merging in everyday driving, while the M models turn the X6 into a serious performance SUV at the cost of firmer ride and greater fuel use. In short, comfortable cruiser for most engines, and a focused, high-performance machine in the M variants.

Efficiency/Consumption & Range

Fuel consumption varies widely: mid-range petrol MHEV figures around 8.6 L/100 km, diesels close to 7.2 L/100 km, while high-performance M models typically return 11–12.7 L/100 km or more in mixed driving. With an 80–83 litre tank, a diesel X6 can approach well over 1,000 km between fill-ups on steady motorway cruising, whereas the M Competition will be closer to 500–700 km depending on driving style. Real-world urban driving will push all versions above the official numbers, so expect higher consumption in stop-start traffic and when exploiting the car’s performance. For long-distance drivers the diesels make clear sense; for performance buyers the M models deliver thrills at a predictable running-cost premium.

Assistance & Infotainment

BMW’s latest iDrive system provides a large central screen and a configurable digital instrument panel with crisp graphics and responsive menus, supported by smartphone integration and decent sound-system options. Driver assistance includes adaptive cruise, lane-keeping aid, parking assistance and semi-autonomous features in higher-spec packs, which ease motorway monotony and tight parking chores. Many conveniences are optional and arranged into packages, so spec choices quickly change equipment and capability — important to check when comparing trims. The overall tech mix is modern and useful, though some advanced functions require patience to master.

Who is it for?

The X6 suits buyers who prioritise style, road presence and a premium driving experience over maximum practicality; it’s aimed at executives, performance-minded families who accept coupe-like compromises, and buyers who want a distinct alternative to conventional SUVs. Those covering high annual miles and needing range or efficiency should lean toward the diesel MHEV options, while purchasers seeking ultimate pace will find the M60i and M Competition thrilling but thirsty. For anyone after an attention-grabbing luxury SUV with genuine driving capability, the X6 delivers a strong blend of character, comfort and performance — provided the coupe silhouette matches lifestyle needs.
