A comfortable and stylish luxury SUV
Blending the styling of a coupe with some utility of an SUV, the 2014 BMW X6 delivers more space than a sedan but sharper handling than an SUV. So, you can enjoy impressive acceleration from one of the two turbocharged engines while standard AWD and grippy brakes deliver sharp handling in the corners. Inside, the 2014 BMW X6 is quiet and refined without feeling too soft. Finally, a long list of standard creature comforts and technology fit whatever’s on your wish list.

5 reasons to buy the 2014 BMW X6
1. Spirited driving dynamics
Surprisingly agile for an SUV, the 2014 BMW X6 dives into sharp corners and accelerates quickly. For example, power is directed through the AWD system to the wheels with the best grip, so you get improved handling in the rain or snow. Plus, the sport-tuned suspension makes the 2014 BMW X6 feel smaller than it is, delivering composed handling at high speed. Finally, the available turbocharged V8 in the 2014 BMW X6 gets from zero to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds (when new).
2. A pair of powerful engines
At the heart of a 2014 BMW X6 is the base 300-hp turbocharged six-cylinder engine, which delivers zippy acceleration around town and confident freeway performance. Or, look for the 2014 BMW X6 xDrive50i to get the upgraded turbocharged V8 engine, which boosts power up to 450 hp. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and xDrive AWD.
3. Going the distance between fill-ups
While most performance SUVs appear to stop frequently at the pumps, the 2014 BMW X6 breaks that stereotype. That’s because the 2014 BMW X6 with the six-cylinder engine gets an EPA-estimated 24 mpg city and 17 mpg fuel economy.
4. A well-equipped base model
From technology to creature comforts, the 2014 BMW X6 includes a good selection of both in every trim. For example, functional features like a power liftgate and parking sensors are standard. There are also creature comforts like a sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and heated front seats. For the tech lover, enjoy Bluetooth® connectivity, a ten-speaker sound system, and a USB port.
5. A quiet and comfortable interior
Sit back and relax in the refined interior of a 2014 BMW X6. When you set the iDrive™ mode to comfort, the suspension increases dampening to reduce road bumps and noise from coming into the interior. Plus, high-end materials and a solid build reduce the outside noises, delivering a quiet and refined ride. Finally, interior comforts like heated seats and supportive cushioning are standard, while the Luxury Seating package adds massage functionality to the front seats.
