Essentially, the BMW X6 is just another X5 with less headroom and a couple of added inches to stretch its wheelbase and overall length. Even then, this vehicle had such a great sales success that Audi and Mercedes-Benz eventually had to follow suit. With the same shape as its predecessor, the 2020 BMW X6 M50i is aggressive at the front and has a tall tail. But what makes the X6 M50i so flashy that it reaches thousands of sales in the US alone? Let’s find that out.
With the heart of a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, the 2020 BMW X6 M50i can deliver 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Together, these help this vehicle skyrocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds. It comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a standard all-wheel drive. Moreover, its adaptive suspension gives that perfect balance of comfort and performance, whether when cruising on the highways or on twisty roads on speed. Talking about its stopping power and cornering grip, it’s truly impressive and something hard to forget.
The 2020 BMW X6 M50i is just like most BMWs from the inside. That means it’s hard to question the vehicle’s fit, finish, luxury, and overall comfort. With the glass doors, leather-wrapped seats, and soft-touch surfaces found throughout, this vehicle is fun to look at from the inside. All the essential controls are on the steering wheel, and it keeps everything crisp. With 16-way power-adjustable front seats, heated cushions, customizable ambient lighting, and passive entry coming as standard, we can see how comfort is a priority here. However, what we felt a little off about this vehicle was the slightly reduced legroom and headroom compared to the X5. Sadly, its sloped roofline affects the cargo space, too.
Externally speaking, the X6 M50i looks stunningly handsome and bold, with a dash of aggressiveness through sharp visuals and swooping body lines. Regardless, though, the X6 seems elegant yet futuristic all the while. Such evidence can be found especially up front, which graces a newly developed kidney grille, now bold and lit with small LEDs to make it pop with an extra dose of flair. Meanwhile, flanking it are slim matrix LED headlamps that integrate BMW’s optional Laserlight technology and sleek DRLs that carve out an intimidating yet refined glare. On the flanks, the X6 features striking 22-inch light alloy wheels that flaunt a multi-spoke design that looks like the wind-sculpted them. Once you move past the flared arches and to the back, the X6 reveals L-shaped LED taillamps, chrome-accented tailpipes, and an aggressive diffuser, completing the sporty yet luxurious visual statement.
The BMW’s iDrive 7 system comes standard in the 2020 BMW X6 M50i, displayed on two 12.3-inch screens in this vehicle. One of the screens is for the instrument cluster, and the other is for the center console. The controls are located well below the center screen for easy accessibility. The X6 M50i includes a USB port and a 12-volt outlet in the open center console area, and while it supports Apple CarPlay, it doesn’t come with Android Auto. The SUV also doubles as a Wi-Fi hotspot for added connectivity. Everything is topped well with ambient lighting, making every drive a little more special. Additionally, the X6 comes loaded with the latest and greatest safety tech features like active cruise control (with stop-and-go traffic), pedestrian warning, auto emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, 3D parking cameras (and auto parking assistant), traffic jam assist, lane keep/departure assist, ensuring peace of mind no matter how long the journey is.
With all that you get, it comes with an initial price tag of $86,945, approximately $20K more than its xDrive40i model. But that’s the only investment you make, as it comes with the ‘BMW Service Inclusive Basic’ package for service scheduling, costing you only $2,150 for 80,000 km. You can go fine with all the essential servicing, mainly if you are not used to aggressive driving. It is a surprisingly reasonable vehicle, especially with these service packages, to ease long-term ownership costs.
If you don’t mind the slightly less headroom and legroom, the X6 is a good option, fun to drive, and a fairly reasonable vehicle. It is shockingly fast, great to look at, and way more practical than most of its counterparts. Provided all the fantastic features, car enthusiasts will gladly pay for this sporty-looking SUV coupe.
