2024 BMW X6: Choosing the Right Trim

The 2024 BMW X6 rides on the same platform as the X5. Its sloping rear roofline makes it less practical as an SUV but a bit sportier in appearance.

For 2024, the X6 gets a midcycle refresh with a bolder front-end design, upgraded engines, and a major interior makeover, including a new curved display screen incorporating the instrument cluster and infotainment system.

Unlike the X5, there is no rear-drive version of the X6, leaving just three trims: the X6 xDrive40i, X6 M60i, and X6 M.

Similar-looking SUVs from other European brands include the Mercedes-AMG GLE Coupe, Audi Q8, and Porsche Cayenne Coupe.

2024 BMW X6 xDrive40i: $73,900

The X6 xDrive40i comes standard with all-wheel drive (AWD), a 375-horsepower 3.0-liter turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, and a 48-volt mild-hybrid boost system built into the 8-speed automatic transmission. The electric boost momentarily adds torque, helping with acceleration until the turbocharger fully spools up.

An adaptive M suspension lessens body lean while still ensuring a comfortable ride over a variety of surfaces.

Along with its new headlight and grille design, the X6 gains the M Sport Package, adding additional design elements below the twin-kidney grille, black trim, and M-style side skirts as standard equipment.

The X6 rides on 20-inch M Star-spoke bicolor alloy wheels fitted with run-flat tires.

Other standard equipment includes heated side mirrors with driver’s auto-dimming, a panoramic moonroof, and adaptive LED headlights with automatic high beams. You also get the Comfort Access keyless entry system, which allows door unlocking and starting the vehicle without removing the key fob from your purse or pocket.

Overhead, driver and passenger enjoy a panoramic moonroof, and around back, a power liftgate.

The X6 comes loaded with passive and active safety systems. Among the more notable are forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, a blind-spot monitor, lane-departure warning, and posted speed limit information.

Rear cross-traffic detection alerts the driver when vehicles are about to pass behind the X6, while front and rear parking sensors keep bumpers from hitting stationary objects, like a wall or a parked car. Parking Assistant can help find a space and even park the X6 in a parallel or perpendicular fashion.

The X6’s handsome cabin gains a new dash for 2024, with a larger glass display housing a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment screen. The curved glass display responds to voice commands, fingertip touch, or input from the iDrive controller.

The X6 features 16-way adjustable power sport seats covered in Sensafin faux leather. The heated front seats also feature 4-way power lumbar support and 2-way power side bolsters.

A power tilt/telescoping steering wheel includes memory tied with the driver’s seat and side mirrors. Other amenities include cruise control, multicolor ambient lighting, and dual-zone climate control.

The X6’s infotainment system has a 10-speaker audio system, navigation, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM 360L, BMW connected services, and Bluetooth phone and music streaming. BMW Assist eCall can automatically call for help in the event of a severe accident.

The Driving Assistance Professional Package adds adaptive cruise control with stop/go and Traffic Jam Assist, lane-keeping assist, front cross-traffic detection, automatic lane change, and hands-off driving up to 85 mph.

The Premium Package adds a remote start, full LED lights, a head-up display, gesture control, and a 16-speaker Harman Kardon audio system.

Other features available in either packages or as standalone options include a panoramic Sky Lounge LED moonroof, Merino leather upholstery, a head-up display, rear side window shades, soft-close doors, heated and ventilated multi-contour massaging front seats, heated rear seats, a heated steering wheel, and 4-zone automatic climate control.

    The 2024 BMW X6 M60i will likely be closer to 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway, while the X6 M will be lucky if it can crack 14 mpg city and 18 mpg highway.
