For If the X6 isn't the best-driving 4x4, it's very close to it; it has remarkable agility. It's refined, too, and surprisingly economical for such a quick, heavy 4x4
Against There are just four seats, and the sloping roofline means that head- and legroom suffer. Diesels are slightly coarse.
What Car? says
The X6 is superb to drive, blending strong acceleration with the agility of a sports saloon. The four-seat layout and high prices count against it. The entry-level diesel is our pick

Buyer's notes
Target Price team says:
Any X6 demands certain compromises. There are just the four seats, and the boot is small, for example. If that doesn’t put you off, though, there’s a lot to enjoy.
For starters, there’s no such thing as a slow X6. Even the smallest diesel, the 30d, shifts with real vigour, although it can sound a little gruff when really pushed.
Stepping up to the 35d means more of the same, only more so, with only a slight penalty at the pumps. You’ll be stopping to fill up rather more often in either of the petrols. The 35i strikes the more sensible balance between performance, price and economy, but the 50i is savagely quick but expensive.
There’s only one trim level across all models, and it’s well equipped as standard. The worthwhile BMW Service Inclusive package covers servicing costs for five years/60,000 miles for a one-off payment. It’s transferable to future owners which helps keep resale values healthy.
