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 third-generation coupe SUV that has defied critics to become a successful model for BMW, inspiring rivals to follow suit. Based on the X5, it sacrifices some practicality for its distinctive sloping roofline, yet still offers a substantial 580-litre boot (1,530 litres with seats folded). Its interior mirrors the X5, providing a premium and well-equipped cabin across all trim levels, even the entry-level Sport.

Driving dynamics are a strong point; the X6 is praised as one of the more enjoyable and sporty SUVs, featuring taut suspension and standard all-wheel drive. Performance is impressive across the range, with even the "slowest" model outperforming a VW Golf GTI in acceleration. While expensive to buy and run, particularly the higher-performance variants, the xDrive30d offers the best fuel economy (up to 42.8mpg). Depreciation is a significant cost, especially for top-tier models, but the X6 delivers bold looks, strong performance, and a compelling driving experience for those who appreciate its unique appeal.

Best for: Drivers who value distinctive styling, strong performance, and a sporty driving experience in an SUV, and those who desire a premium, well-equipped cabin.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum practicality (like the X5), those sensitive to high purchase and running costs, or those who dislike its divisive coupe-SUV aesthetic.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the X6 if: You value distinctive styling, strong performance, and a sporty driving experience in an SUV, or desire a premium, well-equipped cabin.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum practicality (like the X5), are sensitive to high purchase and running costs, or dislike its divisive coupe-SUV aesthetic.

Competitive Position: The BMW X6 (2019-present) stands as a unique and influential player in the luxury coupe SUV segment, having pioneered the concept. While its divisive styling and compromises in practicality compared to the X5 might deter some, its strong performance, engaging driving dynamics, and premium interior make it highly appealing to others. It faces stiff competition from the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, Audi Q8, and Porsche Cayenne Coupe, all of which offer similar blends of style and performance. However, the X6's established presence and refined execution ensure it remains a compelling choice for buyers seeking a distinctive and sporty high-riding vehicle.
