BMW X6


The 2020 X6 is a coupelike, sporty SUV that is based on the new
BMW X5. In our X5, the smooth 335-hp, 3.0-liter six-cylinder turbo
engine and eight-speed automatic made it quick, yet we got a good
23 mpg overall. The ride is comfortable and impressively steady and
composed. The luxurious cabin is whisper quiet, and the seats are
all-day comfortable. Handling is very competent. Controls have an
initial learning curve but prove to be logical once mastered, and
the infotainment system works seamlessly. Unlike its sibling, the
X6’s styling severely hampers rear visibility, cabin access, and cargo
room. The standard Active Driving Assistant includes forward col-
lision warning (with pedestrian and cyclist warning), city-speed
automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning, lane departure
warning, and rear cross traffic warning. A rear-wheel-drive version is
also available, as is a V8-powered M50i.

BMW X5


The redesigned 2019 X5 is one of the best vehicles we’ve ever
tested. The xDrive40i’s smooth 335-hp, 3.0-liter six-cylinder
turbo engine makes the X5 quick and easy to drive smoothly, yet
it gets a decent 23 mpg overall. We don’t think there is any reason
to opt for the V8-powered xDrive50i. The ride is comfortable and
impressively steady and composed. The impeccably finished, luxuri-
ous cabin is whisper quiet, and the seats are all-day comfortable.
Handling isn’t sporty but is very competent. Controls have an initial
learning curve but prove to be logical once mastered, and the info-
tainment system works seamlessly. The standard Active Driving
Assistant includes forward collision warning (with pedestrian and
cyclist warning), city-speed automatic emergency braking, blind spot
warning, lane departure warning, and rear cross traffic warning.
