The model

Read full review

Its styling may divide opinion but the BMW X6 is actually a very well-rounded coupe SUV. Not only is it available with a range of truly fantastic engines, but it’s also one of the most entertaining cars in the class to drive, making the Mercedes GLE Coupe and Range Rover Velar feel sloppy in comparison. Meanwhile, the interior is as easy to use as it is beautifully built, and there’s plenty of space, despite those sweeping exterior lines. Factor in reasonable running costs and a competitive price tag and the X6 truly is one of the most alluring coupe SUVs currently on sale.

The trim

See full equipment

Most X6 buyers opt for M Sport trim , and it's easy to see why. For only a small jump up in price from Sport you get 21in alloy wheels, an M Sport braking system and a plethora of M specific cosmetic details, including black exterior trim highlights, a more aggressive body kit and a sports steering wheel.

The engine

See full engine specs

The six-cylinder 3.0-litre diesel engine of the xDrive30d is our pick of the range. It’s beautifully smooth, provides tonnes of punch low down in the rev range and is noticeably more responsive than the equivalent Audi Q8 50 TDI. It’s so good in fact, that we don’t think you need to step up to the more expensive xDrive40d – despite having an extra 54bhp the 40d doesn’t feel significantly quicker.
