The 2020 BMW X6 is the crossover coupe that "nose" how to turn heads.
Pros Daring shape Imposing look Impressive performance Available V-8 power
Cons Light-up grille? You sure? Very expensive Not practical The X5 and X7 are very good
If the squareback BMW X5 isn't flashy enough for you, its coupe-like cousin—the X6—will be right up your alley. The 2020 model is all new; its sloping roofline and subtle ducktail rear end adds a shapely option to the lineup that looks sportier and more stylish than the X6 it replaces.The 2020 X6 will be offered with either a 335-hp turbocharged inline-six or a twin-turbocharged V-8 that makes a whopping 523 horsepower. The latter is a big bump versus the 2019 model's 445-hp unit. An all-new X6 M is likely but hasn't been announced yet; we review that model separately and expect an even more monstrous horsepower rating from that high-performance model.
