What's New
The 2024 BMW X6 enters the new model year with an extensive mid-cycle refresh that gets close to being nearly a full redesign.
On the outside, the X6 benefits from a refreshed design with a revised front grille, updated bumper, new headlights, refreshed taillights, and new wheel designs. The updated exterior design results in a sharper-looking midsize SUV. BMW has slightly updated the X6’s interior design to accommodate the larger central touchscreen that’s now integrated into a single piece of curved glass with the digital instrument cluster.
BMW has also made large changes to the X6’s powertrains for 2024. The midsize SUV now comes with a mild-hybrid system as standard, supplementing both the turbocharged six-cylinder and turbocharged V8.
Choosing Your BMW X6
The 2024 X6 is available in three trims: X6 xDrive40i, M60i, and M Competition. Pricing starts at $74,895 (with destination) for the xDrive40i trim and goes up to $128,195 for the M Competition.
Engine Choices
Consumers get to choose between two main engines with the X6. Things start off sensibly with a turbocharged six-cylinder engine and then reach crazy levels of power with the available V8. Both are turbocharged ad both come with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. The X6 is only available with all-wheel drive.
Even the base X6 offers spirited acceleration with a zero-to-60 mph time of 5.2 seconds. The range-topping X6 M Competition delivers brutal acceleration with a time of 3.7 seconds.
Fuel economy figures for the 2024 X6 aren’t available yet, but BMW claims the X6 xDrive40i should get around 26 mpg combined, the X6 M60i has a preliminary fuel economy figure of 22 mpg combined, and the X6 M Competition will get around 18 mpg combined.
Engine Type | Horsepower | Torque | Fuel Economy (Combined) |
3.0L Turbo | 375 hp | 398 lb-ft | N/A |
4.4L V8 Turbo | 523 hp | 553 lb-ft | N/A |
4.4L V8 M Turbo | 617 hp | 553 lb-ft | N/A |
Passenger and Cargo Capacity
The midsize 2024 BMW X6 offers seating for up to five people. Because of the X6’s sloping roofline, the midsize SUV is a strict five-seater. The X6’s sporty design also eats into total cargo space. The SUV offers up to 27.4 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats and a total of 59.6 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded.
These figures are well behind the X5, which offers up to 72.3 cubic feet of total cargo space.

Standard tech features with the displays include Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, 10 audio speakers, Bluetooth, navigation, a wireless charging pad, and multiple USB ports.

The $3,100 Executive Package brings a lot of the same features as it does on lower trims. The available M Driver’s Package increases the top speed of the SUV and includes a one-day performance driving class with BMW for $2,500.
We prefer the 2024 BMW X5 over the X6 because of its more spacious cargo area and available third row. But if your heart is set on the X6, we think the xDrive40i is the best choice. It offers plenty of performance for most people, comes with standard AWD, and is available with a dizzying number of options that make the SUV more upscale. If you want the look of a V8-powered X6, but don’t want to pay the premium, get the M Sport Professional Package.
