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 coupe SUV that combines striking styling with impressive performance and driving dynamics. Based on the X5 platform, the X6 tapers its roofline from behind the front seats to create a distinctive profile, sacrificing some practicality for dramatic aesthetics. Despite this compromise, it remains genuinely practical with a 580-litre boot expanding to 1,530 litres with rear seats folded. The interior mirrors the X5's layout, featuring the sophisticated iDrive infotainment system, leather upholstery, and comprehensive technology as standard on Sport trim.

Performance across the range is exceptional, with even the entry-level xDrive30d reaching 62mph in 6.1 seconds—quicker than a Volkswagen Golf GTI. The xDrive40i achieves 5.7 seconds, the xDrive40d manages 5.5 seconds, and the range-topping M50i completes the sprint in just 4.3 seconds. All models feature all-wheel drive, eight-speed automatic transmission, and adjustable drive modes with air suspension on higher variants. Running costs are substantial, with fuel economy ranging from 39-43mpg for the xDrive30d to low-to-mid 20s for the M50i. Insurance is costly, and depreciation represents a significant ownership expense, particularly for performance models.

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

Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers, those prioritising maximum interior space (the X5 is superior), or drivers indifferent to bold, divisive design.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

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

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum interior space, seek better value for money, or prefer understated design to bold, divisive aesthetics.

Competitive Position: The BMW X6 (2019-present) is a compelling choice in the premium coupe SUV segment, offering exceptional driving dynamics and undeniable presence. Whilst the Audi Q8 edges ahead with superior user ratings and value proposition, and the Range Rover Sport provides more traditional practicality, the X6 remains the original and most dynamically engaging option. The xDrive40d M Sport represents the sweet spot, delivering near-M50i performance with significantly lower running costs and depreciation. For buyers willing to embrace its divisive styling and premium pricing, the X6 delivers a genuinely rewarding ownership experience.
