Stylishly designed luxury midsize SUV

While the pioneering coupe-like roofline of BMW’s midsize X6 SUV stays the same, its overall offering gets a bold new refresh for 2024. Updated engine options heighten performance, while the exterior style gets some noteworthy tweaks too. Balancing sporty aesthetics with essential functionalities like cargo capacity and modern infotainment technology, this five-seat luxury SUV in its third generation (2020 onwards) is an all-around people pleaser with great looks and personality.

5 reasons to buy the 2024 BMW X6

1. Base trim features 

Expect luxury and convenience from the get-go with this midsize SUV. The 2024 X6 xDrive40i base trim’s standard feature list is pretty impressive and includes plenty of passenger favorites for long journeys or daily commutes. A panoramic roof floods the cabin with natural light, while heated front seats and access to your favorite playlists via Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto integration make those early starts cozy and bright. 

2. Refreshed exterior 

A bright and breezy style refresh for the 2024 X6 includes exciting new style accents for the exterior finishing. Revisions to the front and rear fascia include an update to the kidney grille surround and some slimmed-down head and tail lamps. The M60i trim goes even further, framing the rear fascia with a quad exhaust and adding gloss black exterior accents. 

3. Impressive digital display 

A new dashboard design for the X6 makes its debut for the 2024 model year, with a curved digital display panel as its centerpiece. The 12.3-inch digital instrument panel now sits side by side with the 14.9-inch infotainment screen in one continuous display, allowing for easier and more intuitive interactions with the X6's iDrive operating system. For purists, there's still a satisfying number of tactile buttons and a rotary controller too.  

4. Turbocharged engine options 

While all-wheel drive is standard on each of the 2024 X6 models, you’ll still have two engine setups to consider. The xDrive40i base trim will suit most people, its turbocharged 3.0L inline six-cylinder engine can deliver 375 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. A more athletic driving experience, however, can be found with the M60i trim: its turbocharged 4.4L V8 engine is good for 523 hp and 553 lb-ft of torque.  

5. High-tech optional features  

You have plenty of options with the 2024 X6’s roster of optional features and available packages. If you travel between work appointments every day, you might want to invest in the Driving Assistant Professional package. Packed with advanced driver aids that streamline your day, features like adaptive cruise control will enhance your freeway experience. Picking an X6 model with the Premium package elevates the in-cabin experience, adding a Harman Kardon® audio system, soft-close doors, and a panoramic sunroof with LED feature lighting.
