I spent the most time in the third model on the road and racetrack a more potent X6 M50i that – at $85,650 – is equipped with a twin-turbocharged V8 lifted from the new 8-Series M850i. The RWD model goes from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2-seconds while the AWD does it fractionally slower at 5.3-seconds. Next is the $66,600 xDrive40i, powered by the same turbocharged inline-six but with all-wheel-drive. The base model is the $64,300 rear-wheel-drive sDrive40i powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-six producing 335-horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque. ![]() There are three versions of the 2020 BMW X6. Equally humongous 20-inch alloys are standard and fill the wheel arches nicely, lending an aggressive stance, but larger 21-inch or 22-inch alloys are optional if you want to get sportier still. It also grew a larger pair of kidney grilles, which fits the personality of the X6. It still has a rather large and awkward rear end, but the lower and curvier roof has given the back treatment more suitable proportions. For all intent and purposes – and with the acknowledgement that, yes, design is subjective – this third-generation X6 is the better-looking of the bunch. Resting on its laurels won't win BMW any sales. The X6 once had the market to itself, but it now faces an onslaught of competitors in the form of Porsche's Cayenne Coupe and Mercedes-Benz's GLE Coupe. ![]() Also, despite being marginally longer, it also happens to sit lower to the ground by 0.7 inches, giving it a lower center of gravity and a speedier profile, which I really like. It also has a longer wheelbase for added legroom, which is an attempt to compensate for the diminished rear headroom, and it works. The dimensional changes aren't all downward, either: the 2020 X6 is an inch longer and more than half an inch wider than the previous model. Even if it did feel a little snug in the back, I'm fine with it: I suspect all X6 buyers will be fully aware that their sporty SUV eschews practicality in favor of athleticism.
