Overview

The fastback, coupe-style form of SUV has become so popular that several premium automakers now offer sloping-roof variants of traditional SUVs. The BMW X6, though, set the trend and it's now in its third generation. These SUVs are unique in the sense that they are SUVs trying to look more like sport coupes, but they don't handle as well. They're also less practical than regular SUVs due to the reduction in cargo space, rear headroom and rear visibility. But, hey, since when has practicality been a roadblock for fashion?

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2022 BMW X6 xDrive40i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.92 per gallon for premium unleaded in Virginia.}

Updates for the 2022 BMW X6 are minimal. The biggest change is the discontinuation of the rear-wheel-drive sDrive40i model, which makes the X6 lineup all-wheel-drive only. The xDrive40i is now the only non-BMW M model available in the lineup. The M50i has a powerful V8 and offers more features, but it comes with a significant price increase. The high-performance X6 M is the top model that carries a six-digit starting price.

The BMW X6 lineup is great for those with a smaller family who want a sporty, premium SUV. Larger families will likely want the extra cargo space and rear headroom of the X5, with which the X6 shares many features and driving dynamics. As with many BMWs, the X6 has a high-quality cabin and a comfortable ride. If you're curious about other premium SUVs with rakish rooflines, check out rivals like the Audi Q8, the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe and the Porsche Cayenne Coupe.

Which X6 does Edmunds recommend?

Most people will be happy with the base xDrive40i model because it comes equipped with a strong engine and lots of standard luxury and tech features. The M50i is reserved for those who have a higher budget and crave V8 power.

BMW X6 models

The 2022 X6 comes in only two trims: the xDrive40i and the M50i. The xDrive40i has a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 335 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque, and the M50i packs a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine that puts out 523 hp and 553 lb-ft. Both engines are backed by an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive is standard. Feature highlights include:

5/5 stars, Sex On Wheels

Randall T, 08/18/2022

xDrive40i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

It’s the sexy, edgy and head turning older brother to it’s X5 Sibling. To echo the other review, there’s nothing I do not like about this vehicle. Luxurious, plush, Technology rich cabin, loaded with an exterior that’s dripping in sex appeal. The driving experience is even better especially after coming from a Range Rover. Stunning

Kate Johnson, 03/19/2022

xDrive40i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo gas/electric mild hybrid 8A)

There’s not a single thing I dislike on this SUV or wish to change. It’s luxury, it ride smooth, it’s fast, & feels safe, all at the same time. The features are second to none. The heads up display is a game changer when it comes to your driving experience. The display screen it’s big & visible, & not to mention touch screen. I could go on for days about everything I love when it comes …

5/5 stars, Amazing

CarsAreFun, 05/29/2020

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.

5/5 stars, A Sexy Road Beast! M50i

CAW33, 06/23/2022

M50i 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)

Total performance is nothing short of outstanding. The X6 M50i maintains a high standard of performance for anyone looking for luxury, power, and sex appeal. This X6 M50i continually maintains a high state of operational and material readiness.

BMW X6 vs. Audi Q8

The X6 and the Audi Q8 are close rivals because of their similar starting prices (the Q8 is a little higher) and two engine choices, including a performance option. Both have well-built, comfortable interiors that use high-quality materials but look a little sterile. Outside, the Q8 does a better job of looking like a sporty SUV coupe and doesn't have the stubby rear end of the X6.

BMW X6 vs. Porsche Cayenne Coupe

The Porsche Cayenne Coupe has a lot going for it. It's one of the best-handling SUVs in the segment, and build quality is great. It also offers an array of versions to choose from and is highly customizable. But, like with most Porsches, the starting price is high and you get fewer standard features, including advanced driver aids, than with most of its rivals.

BMW X6 vs. Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class Coupe

The GLE Coupe is only offered in two AMG performance models. It's missing a more affordable non-AMG base model that would compete with the xDrive40i. The base GLE 53 Coupe can be positioned between the xDrive40i and M50i models because its starting price and engine power are right in the middle of the two. Like the X6, the GLE Coupe is comfortable and high-tech, and it drives and handles well.

2022 BMW X6 First Impressions

by the Edmunds Experts

•6/30/2021

What is the X6?

At its heart, and on the surface, the 2022 BMW X6 is an X5 with a sloping rear roof. This midsize luxury SUV prioritizes form over function and gives people a more coupe-like profile in their family hauler. This design language has become popular in recent years, with rivals including Porsche and Mercedes joining the SUV-coupe competition to shake things up a bit. The X6, however, has been around for quite some time. Currently in its third generation, the X6 was redesigned in 2020, when it got significant updates to powertrains, interior tech and exterior styling. And with the relatively recent redesign of the X6, we believe that 2022 will be a year with no significant updates.

Currently, there are two choices for power when it comes to the X6: a turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that produces 335 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque and a turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine that puts out 523 hp, 553 lb-ft. If that's not enough power for you, there's always the pumped-up X6 M, which has two variants of the 4.4-liter V8 that produce either 600 or 617 horsepower — a massive amount for any vehicle, let alone a family SUV.

We're fans of the way the X6 drives with either of the standard powertrains and how quickly it accelerates. It's quiet and comfortable on the highway, as you'd expect from a luxury SUV, but the coupe styling decreases visibility, cargo space and rear headroom. If you want all those practical pieces back, you can always go with the standard X5 — it offers the same equipment and laudable driving characteristics.

Edmunds says

Essentially, the 2022 BMW X6 and several of its rivals are stylized alternatives to the standard midsize SUVs with large, boxy rear profiles. They sacrifice cargo capacity and rear headroom for improved aesthetics, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We think the standard X5 has more to recommend it. Still, if you want to go with looks instead of practicality, it's nice to know that the X6 is a class leader thanks to its impressive driving dynamics and lovely interior.
