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 bold, divisive SUV coupe that combines striking styling with impressive performance and handling. Based heavily on the X5, the X6 tapers its roofline from behind the front seats to create a distinctive coupe profile whilst maintaining a practical 580-litre boot (1,530 litres with rear seats folded). Available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, from the xDrive30d with 282bhp to the range-topping M50i with 523bhp, every X6 delivers sparkling performance. The xDrive30d achieves 39.2-42.8mpg, whilst the M50i reaches 62mph in just 4.3 seconds, making it one of the more enjoyable and sporty SUVs to drive.

The X6 starts from around £60,000 before options, with trim levels including Sport, M Sport, and the performance-focused M50i. All models come well-equipped with leather upholstery, powered heated seats, automatic lights and wipers, parking assistance, and full infotainment including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Running costs are substantial, particularly for the higher-performance models, with insurance groups ranging from 49-50 and depreciation accounting for a significant portion of ownership costs. However, for those who appreciate its bold aesthetics and dynamic driving experience, the X6 offers a compelling alternative to conventional SUVs.

Best for: Buyers seeking a distinctive, high-performance SUV with striking styling, excellent driving dynamics, and those who value road presence over maximum practicality.

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those prioritising maximum interior space (the X5 is more roomy), or those who dislike its divisive coupe-SUV design.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the X6 if: You seek a distinctive, high-performance SUV with striking styling, excellent driving dynamics, and value road presence over maximum practicality.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum interior space, dislike its divisive coupe-SUV design, or are budget-conscious about purchase and running costs.

Competitive Position: The BMW X6 (2019-present) is a compelling choice in the premium SUV coupe segment, offering bold styling, impressive performance, and engaging driving dynamics. Whilst the Range Rover Sport scores higher for user satisfaction and the Porsche Cayenne Coupe offers superior user ratings, the X6 remains highly competitive. The Audi Q8 provides an alternative with similar positioning. The X6's strength lies in its balance of striking aesthetics, practical design despite its coupe profile, and performance across its engine range. However, buyers should be prepared for substantial running costs, particularly with higher-performance variants, and recognise that its divisive styling may not appeal to all.
