Who’s It For?

Look good, feel good, drive good, right? If you dig performance and a car with an athletic-looking stance, it’s hard to go wrong with the ultra-sporty 2026 X6. This is a luxury SUV that has BMW’s priorities baked into its DNA, and this fact is clearly expressed through its under-the-hood prowess and sleek exterior styling.

Even the X6’s base xDrive40i trim produces a healthy 375 HP, but performance-obsessed drivers can step up to the scintillating M Competition trim and its incredible 617 horsepower, good for a blistering sub-four-second 0 to 60 time. Intelligent all-wheel drive is standard. Additionally, every trim also comes with the M Sport Package as standard, too, meaning you’ll enjoy the perks of BMW’s Aerodynamic Kit and Adaptive M Suspension, as well as M wheel options up to 22 inches. This makes the 2026 BMW X6 a top performer inside and out, and a fantastic choice for driving enthusiasts or anyone looking to take the road in style.

Real World Performance

When we said the 2026 BMW X6 was a top performer, we meant it. No matter your trim level, you’re getting a sprightly SUV, if not a downright dynamic beast of a machine. Each trim breaks down as follows:

The X6 xDrive40i features a 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder, enhanced with the latest 48V mild-hybrid technology. This makes it good for 375 horsepower and 398 lb.-ft. of torque, and a 0 to 60 MPH time of 5.2 seconds. The xDrive40i comes standard with an 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes, as well as steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters and Launch Control for those who like to have a little fun at the end of a long day.

The X6 M60i flexes its muscle with a 4.4-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo V-8 engine, also boasting 48V mild-hybrid technology. It sports a maximum output of 523 horsepower and 553 lb.-ft. of torque, good for an impressive 0-60 time of just 4.2 seconds. Its 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission features all the bells and whistles of the xDrive40i trim.

Finally, the top-of-the-line X6 M Competition trim shines with a 4.4-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo V-8 that generates an incredible 617 horsepower and 553 lb.-ft. of torque. The result? A scorching 0 to 60 MPH time of only 3.7 seconds. The M Competition’s 8-speed M Sport Automatic Transmission also adds BMW’s three-stage Drivelogic system.
