BMW X6 2024: Releasing Power with Style 

BMW-x6-2024 is here to finish what it started. The original X6 pioneered a new styling direction for SUVs: the dramatically sloped roof, which cuts down on some cargo space for coolness. Think of it as an X5 SUV that goes to the gym. Its athletic antics transcend its looks, too. The base engine is a peppy 375 horsepower turbocharged inline-six engine that gives the X6 plenty of scoot. 

The M60i runs hotter, using a 523-horsepower twin-turbo V-8 built for pounding pavement at high speeds. Both powertrains are locked to an eight-speed automatic transmission with all-wheel drive. The 617-hp X6 M delivers a far more aggressive experience but is reviewed separately. 

What's New for 2024? 

BMW gives the X6 a makeover for 2024, with a revised front grille and bumper, new headlamps and taillamps, updated wheel designs, and a boost in power for the base engine thanks to a new 48-volt hybrid system. Output for the X6's turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine is up to 375 horsepower, but the power of the 523-hp 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V-8 remains the same for this year. 

The performance-minded M60i, renamed from last year's M50i, carries the angrier engine and gets gloss-black exterior accents, quad tailpipes, and an M logo for the grille. The X6 is now available with the Highway Assistant hands-free driving feature we first experienced in the new 7-series flagship luxury sedan. 

Potent Performance Of BMW-X6-2024 

The X6 40i is powered by a 375-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that features a 48-volt hybrid system and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. The M60i has the same transmission and all-wheel drive, but its twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 is significantly more powerful. 

Its 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque helped it reach 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds at our test track. Even more shocking is that the X6 M has up to 617 horsepower and is even quicker. Still, the standard six-cylinder powertrain is plenty zippy and velvety smooth.
