BMW X6 (2015-2019) Review | Autocar
The 2015 BMW X6 in the UK is a luxury coupe-SUV, noted for its sporty styling, powerful engines, and driver-focused interior with the iDrive infotainment system. While based on the BMW X5, the X6 features a more coupe-like roofline, offering a blend of high-performance luxury with a sophisticated xDrive four-wheel-drive system. Key features include available M Sport packages, adaptive suspension, a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, and features like Lane Departure Warning, though it has a more restricted boot and rear passenger space than the X5.
Design & Body Style
Coupe-like profile: The defining characteristic is its sleek, sloping roofline, similar to a coupe, which differentiates it from the more practical X5 SUV.
M Sport Package: Available on models like the 40d and 30d, this trim adds M-specific styling, 20-inch M alloy wheels, and sportier interior touches.
Performance & Technology
Engines: Available engine options included powerful petrol and diesel units, such as the xDrive30d, xDrive35i, xDrive40d, and the high-performance xDrive50i and M50d models.
xDrive All-Wheel Drive: All X6 models feature this advanced four-wheel-drive system for confidence and grip in various conditions.
iDrive Infotainment: A model of clarity, the iDrive system features a 10.25-inch screen for the entertainment system and is controlled by a rotary dial.
Adaptive Dampers: These adaptive suspension systems provide a firmer ride at speed and a softer, more comfortable ride when cruising.
Interior & Practicality
Driver-focused cabin: The interior is driver-oriented, with the dashboard angled towards the driver.
Luxury Features: Standard equipment includes leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a leather-trimmed steering wheel with gearshift paddles.
Restricted Space: The coupe-like design does impact practicality, leading to less boot space and restricted headroom for rear passengers compared to a traditional SUV.
