2020 BMW X6 M (Full Review)
The BMW X6 has always been a niche vehicle. Besides an elevated ride height, the two greatest differences between a crossover and a sedan are the more spacious rear-seat accommodations and greater cargo flexibility that a crossover affords. The X6 — which BMW insists on calling a Sports Activity Coupe — offers neither. Its tapered roofline both severely limits the headroom in the back row and cuts into maximum cargo space. Its small rear window also impedes rear visibility.
So what sense does it make to offer this outlandish SUV with the most ho-hum engines available? It's a question BMW asks and answers with the introduction of the high-octane 2020 BMW X6 M. While the standard X6's twin-turbo V8 offers up to 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque, the X6 M turns up the wick to an even 600 hp. If its claimed 0-60 mph time of 3.8 seconds feels a touch too slow, fret not — the available Competition package bumps output to 617 hp and shaves a tenth off that time.
BMW is introducing a number of upgrades to help the chassis manage the considerable increase in power. Out front are bumpers with larger air intakes to feed the two radiators that keep the internals cool. A standard electronically controlled M Sport differential helps route power through the 21-inch wheels shod in summer performance tires (22-inch rear wheels are optional). Stiffer engine mounts and strut braces work to keep the front end controlled, and standard adaptive suspension dampers vary the ride from cushy to track-ready. An adaptive exhaust system with quad pipes further drives the performance theme home; the standard M Sport exhaust on Competition models is even more boisterous. For a sportier look, other visual enhancements include exaggerated fender flares, a rear diffuser, and roof and tailgate spoilers.
Interior upgrades are relatively minimal. The aggressive front sport seats offer a multitude of adjustments, including upper-back angle and bolster width. Leather upholstery and carbon-fiber trim are both standard, and the Competition package further adds leather kneepads — helpful during spirited driving. The M division's unique color scheme is also visible on the steering wheel and shifter stitching. There are a few red accents as well, including on the steering wheel's programmable M buttons.
While several packages remain on the options list, the X6 M comes with a few features that cost extra on the standard variants. Leather dash upholstery, faux-suede headliner, heated armrests, a heated steering wheel, and the most full-featured version of the iDrive infotainment system are included on every model, which helps narrow the significant price jump from the X6 M50i and X6 M. For those who want to eke out every bit of performance, the optional M Driver's Package increases the top speed from 155 to 177 mph and includes a voucher to one of BMW's East Coast or West Coast driving schools.
There's a certain silliness to a utility-reducing SUV "coupe," but these oddballs represent a greater level of choice for the customer. Some shoppers are put off by the sometimes bulky designs of standard SUVs, and a vehicle with a svelter shape is simply more appealing. Add in the wealth of performance enhancements, and you have a driver-focused tall crossover that offers a larger cargo area and a more commanding view out front than a sport sedan.
Though there are more SUV "coupes" on the market than ever before, few are truly performance-oriented. The major exception is Porsche. Its Cayenne Coupe is similar in spirit to the X6 M — it offers less rear headroom and passenger room than the standard Cayenne in exchange for a sportier profile. And it comes in several high-performance variants, culminating in the 670-hp Turbo S E-Hybrid. It's shockingly quick, though you'd expect it to be with a price tag starting just over $165,000.
