The Smooth Six-Cylinder Is Perfect! (BMW X6 2024 Review)

Detailed review and test of the 2026 BMW X6 xDrive40i M Sport, including B58 engine, handling, interior, price and more.

The BMW X6 is the coupe-SUV (or SAV) iteration of the BMW X5 large luxury SUV. It has a sloping roofline and vaguely more athletic styling. But it's still a substantial, heavy crossover.

Our test car has BMW's famed B58 petrol 3.0-litre engine with six inline cylinders. It's a good fit for the X6, which is a direct rival to the Mercedes GLE Coupe and Audi Q8.
