What Is the 2025 BMW X6?
The BMW X6 is based on the mid-size BMW X5 SUV but has a sleeker profile thanks to its tapered, fastback-style roofline. The xDrive40i trim has a 335-horsepower, turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, while the M60i has a 523-hp, twin-turbocharged 4.4-liter V-8. The high-performance X6 M packs an upgraded 617-hp version of the twin-turbo V-8, along with a specific track-tuned suspension and other performance-focused hardware. All X6s come with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The X6’s rivals include the Audi Q8, Land Rover Range Rover Sport and Porsche Cayenne Coupe.
What’s New on the 2025 BMW X6?
After undergoing an extensive refresh last year, the X6 is mostly unchanged for 2025. Among other minor alterations in standard and available equipment, the Driving Assistance Professional Package adds Active Lane Change with eye activation, in which the vehicle will suggest lane changes to the driver when operating in its hands-on semi-autonomous mode. All the driver has to do to initiate the lane change is look at the appropriate mirror; the car will then activate the turn signal and perform the lane change itself.

Should I Buy the 2025 BMW X6?
The X6 is BMW’s sportier take on its more conventionally shaped X5 sibling. It’s also more expensive and less practical than the X5 because its sloping roofline eats into cargo space and hurts rear visibility. On the other hand, its head-turning looks and strong performance will appeal to SUV shoppers who want something that stands out in a crowd; thanks to its rakish roofline, the X6 does exactly that. It also comes with a long list of standard comfort, tech and safety features.
