What reviewers say
Auto Express and Autoblog praised the updated X6's strong engines, cabin quality and handling for its size. Both found its sloping roof less practical than the X5's. Auto Express found the xDrive40i's ride unsettled at motorway speeds, while Autoblog found the range comfortable in everyday driving and its controls slow to learn.
