- Comfortable and quiet ride
- High-quality interior
Cons
- Sloping roofline cuts down on cargo space

What's new
- The X6 is redesigned for 2020

- Up to a half-second quicker than last year's model
- Launches the third X6 generation for 2020
Overview
The third-generation BMW X6 debuts for 2020 and follows the same basic formula as its two predecessors: Take the BMW X5 — an upright and traditional luxury SUV — and slice off a bit of the roof to create a fastback coupe-like profile. It's a successful, if controversial, formula and one of the most influential in automotive history. Since the original X6 debuted, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and more have released coupe variants of more staid SUVs to varying degrees of success.

Roofline aside, the new X6 mirrors the X5 in just about every way. You can pick from three models that are distinguished primarily by engine. The base trim is the X6 sDrive40i that comes with a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder (335 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque). It's mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. The next step up is the X6 xDrive40i, which adds all-wheel drive.
At least for the time being, the X6 M50i is the top dog, sporting a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 that increases output to 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque. All-wheel drive is standard. In the spring, it will be surpassed by the high-performance X6 M that will set itself apart from the rest with 600 hp.
As always, it's difficult to justify a purchase of this ilk. One of the most important reasons for getting an SUV is to transport more passengers and their things. Going with the X6 reduces that advantage, and you'll pay more for the privilege to boot. But the X6 does boast a sleeker silhouette, and that definitely counts for something on the emotional side of the car-purchasing ledger.
2020 BMW X6 trim level differences
The 2020 BMW X6 is offered in three basic trims: the rear-wheel-drive sDrive40i, the all-wheel-drive xDrive40i and the sporty, V8-powered M50i. There's also the high-performance X6 M, which is reviewed separately on Edmunds. Standard and optional features are similar for all three trims, so the main difference is what's resting under the hood.
Which X6 trim does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend going with either the two-wheel-drive sDrive40i or the all-wheel-drive xDrive40i. Sure, the X6 M50i offers greater performance and a killer soundtrack thanks to its stout V8, but the 40i offers plenty of grunt for day-to-day driving. The money you save compared to the V8-powered model is best spent on options such as the M Sport package, an upgraded interior and more driver assistance features.

2020 BMW X6 M50i 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)
You may want a-lot of power but you wont need it. And it burbles when you shift at the right moment. Has a-lot of space and the sleek look makes everything look 10 times better. You can gap people easily if you race and it keeps up with a M850 at first. Downside is its not the best for really long road trips for the driver.

2020 BMW X6 M50i 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)
Absolutely love it all around. gorgeous and carries a punch. More than enough room for what I need. Glad I did not opt for the X5
Amazing head-turner design with a powerful engine
5 out of 5 starsYour average guy, 09/03/2020
2020 BMW X6 sDrive40i 4dr SUV (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)
I always thought the X6 design is unique, sporty and more aggressive (compared to the traditional boxy SUVs like the X5). I have another midsize SUV to do the task of carrying big boxes and occasional small furniture when helping out friends and relatives move. This X6, however, is for my daily commute and I must say it is absolutely FUN to drive. The 335 hp makes my drive from home to … work (and vice versa) exciting (often times I find myself wanting to drive longer than the usual route! LoL). Thanks to its design, it catches a lot of attention from people on the road and on the sidewalks (let's face it, there's not too many of these coupe-design SUVs/SAVs out there - that including similar designed cars from MB, Porsche, Audi and Jaguar). The trunk cargo space is decent for my family. Without folding the second row seats, we were able to fit 2 large luggage and 3 carry-on rollies for a long weekend getaway. 21/26 mpg is also a plus (my older 2016 GLE only gives me 18/23). I'm a happy camper!

High quality finishes, incredible and intuitive interface, tight build, sports car handling with SUV ride height. 5L v8 turbo has power to spare and then some. Don’t even need Sport mode but wow! it’s fun when you turn it on.
