BMW X6 G06

Mid-Size Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

BMW X6 G06 is a mid-size crossover in production from 2019. It is available with a range of inline-6 and V8 engines that displaced 3.0 to 4.4 liters.

Compared to the G05 X5 on which it is based, the X6 is an uglier, hunchback variant with reduced practicality and inflated price.

Drivers who appreciate handling will be pleased to know that the BMW X6 (G06) comes with double-wishbone at the front and multi-link at the rear. This is a bit unusual for AWD and less tunable than a multi-link front setup, but what you lose in performance you gain in durability.

Reviewer score 60% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

BMW's latest X6 is a competitive SUV coupe. Its driving characteristics and equipment are towards the top of the class and it performs well too. Diesel versions still make the most sense in terms of running costs and drive well. Thanks to a larger cabin than before, interior practicality is good too.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Good range of engines

Cons

Not quite as fun to drive as rivals
No seven-seat option

Reviewer score 78% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

BMW has sold more than 450,000 of the SUV-coupe mash-up genre. The X6 has something of a Jekyll and Hyde character in this range-topping version. It'll cruise remarkably quietly in Comfort mode, but carves corners with surprising urgency when you flick to Sport and get your toe in.

Pros

Powerful V8 engine
Superb infotainment system
Comfortable to drive

Cons

Lack of practicality

Reviewers from cnet have found:

The X6 M50i is a hoot to drive, and thankfully, it's not an annoying performance-forward mess. On the only-sort-of-okay roads around Spartanburg, South Carolina, the X6 impresses with its smoothness. Safety equipment abounds, with standard kit including blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist.

Pros

Powerful V8 engine
Comfortable ride
Excellent standard equipment

Cons

No telematics
