2023 BMW X6 Overview What’s new: In 2023, nothing significant will change. In 2020, you’ll be able to buy the third generation of the X6. The BMW X6 of 2023 cares more about how it looks than how it works. Even though some of its competitors do the swoopy sport ute thing better, they all owe their existence to the X6’s low-slung, sloping roofline, which helped pave the way for a new breed of coupe-like SUVs. The X6 is based on the design of the midsize X5 SUV, but the roof is cut away in the back to make it look like a fastback. It looks sleeker because of how it’s made, but the back has less space for cargo and less room for people’s heads. The smaller size of the back windows also makes it harder to see out. Still, some customers are willing to give up those things for fashion because they love the look. Even though BMW was the first to make an SUV that looked like a coupe, its competitors are now catching up and, in some cases, even outdoing the original. SUVs with a rake-roofline that compete with the BMW X6 include the Audi Q8, the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe, and the Porsche Cayenne Coupe. However, the BMW holds its thanks to a high-end interior, a smooth ride, and sporty driving dynamics. Pros vs Cons Pros: Both engines are going very fast. A quiet and peaceful ride Superior interior design Cons: Because of the roof slopes, there is little space for cargo. Hard to see what’s behind you. In the back, there is little room for your head.
