2024 BMW X6: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026

About the 2024 BMW X6
3rd generation (G06, 2020-2026), mid-cycle refresh year.
BMW positions the X6 as the bold, coupe-roof alternative to the more traditional X5. Its appeal is style and road feel first: a midsize luxury SUV with a dramatic roofline, strong standard all-wheel drive, quick turbocharged engines, and a driver-focused cabin. Buyers choose it for its mix of upscale comfort, sporty handling, and standout design, accepting some cargo and rear-headroom tradeoffs in exchange for a more athletic look and feel.
The xDrive40i remains the core X6, combining a 375-hp six-cylinder with standard sport-styled bodywork, adaptive sport suspension, heated sport seats, and a panoramic moonroof. The M60i is the everyday high-performance version, pairing a 523-hp V8 with rear-wheel steering, ventilated multi-contour seats, Harman Kardon audio, and a head-up display.
What changed, by category
Powertrain
Both main X6 trims gain 48V mild-hybrid assistance and retain an 8-speed automatic transmission. The xDrive40i’s turbocharged six-cylinder rises from 335 to 375 horsepower and from 332 to 398 lb-ft of torque. The M50i is renamed M60i and uses a newer 523-hp mild-hybrid V8.
Styling
The front and rear styling is revised with slimmer lighting and updated bumper details. Sport-styled M Sport exterior treatment becomes standard on the X6, while LED headlights move from standard to optional.
Tech
A new curved dashboard display combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel with a 14.9-inch touchscreen running BMW Operating System 8. Parking assistance with front and rear sensors moves from optional to standard.

“SUV, but even more powerful than a 2-door sports car! You feel tall and proud when you drive this, and no other car on the road around you can take this feeling from you!”
