We Recommend

If you are making up your mind to get the 2015 X6, the xDrive50i is the one you should go for. The 50i comes equipped with a 4.4L Twin-turbo V8 compared to the 35i’s 3L turbocharged I6 engine. The 4.4L Twin-turbo V8 produces a mind-blowing power that makes it a mammoth in the SUV segment. 

Apart from the engine, there are a generous amount of added features and a wide range of optional features that you can choose to further decorate your X6. We also recommend the Cold Weather and Driver Assistance Plus package as it will increase the functionality, comfort, and safety, making the car more preferable and enjoyable to the driver.

Engine and Performance
8.9/10

As mentioned before, the 2015 X6 comes with a couple of engines that are fitted in the various trims on offer. The 35i comes fitted with a 3L turbocharged inline-6 engine coupled with 8-speed automatic transmission. This duo generates an impressive 300 horsepower and 295lb-ft of torque. The 35i is capable of reaching 60 mph from rest in just 5.7 seconds and can cover a quarter-mile in14.3 seconds.

The 50i comes fitted with a 4.4L Twin-turbo V8 engine that produces 445 horsepower and 479 lb-ft torque. Both of the engines feel smooth, calm, composed, and engaging. The capable engines offer the SUV with admirable power and push, making it effortless to perform any task at any given time, anywhere. The 35i can be had in either RWD or AWD config. While the RWD boasts a sportier behavior, the AWD has excellent off-road talents.

All the SUVs except the X6, come built with 26.4 gallons of a fuel tank, which makes the X6 trail in driving range. However, it offers respectable mileage. The best fuel efficiency figure is offered by the Porsche, while Audi trails at the bottom. The Porsche Cayenne offers an excellent range of 448 miles in the city and 633 miles on the highway.

Interior
8.0/10

The interior of the 2015 X6 is blessed and bestowed with good craftsmanship skills and attention to minute details. The 2015 MY comes glued with a cabin that is an emulation of practicality and appeal. The cabin can seat 5 passengers and is composed of premium soft-touch materials, and leather upholsteries complimented by Cognac and Fine Line Strip Fine Wood. The seats are wide, supportive, cushioned well, and placed upright so that the driver can have a commanding control with a wide view of the road. The front seats provide adequate head and leg space for the passengers, while there is a different story at the back. 

The seats, though being good and cozy, the uncomforting atmosphere is far-reaching due to the cramped headspace. It feels tight and can become concerning for tall adults. The X6 offers a generous 26.6 cubic feet of cargo space which is the best in the segment. Additionally, the rear seats can be folded to increase it to 59.7 cubic feet.

The X6 and the Cayenne are 5 seater SUVs, while the Mercedes and the Audi are 7 seaters. The Mercedes and Audi provide great passenger volume while the X6 trails in the rear passenger space. However, the X6 comes with the biggest cargo trunk which is miles ahead of the Mercedes. Standout interior features include:

  • Head-Up display
  • 4-Zone Automatic climate control
  • Power adjustable sport seats for driver and front passenger
  • Ambient Interior Lighting
  • Leather-wrapped sport steering wheel with integrated gear shift control

How intuitive is the 2015 BMW X6’s infotainment unit?

The 2015 X6 comes with an iDrive infotainment system, a 10.2” display screen which supports HD movie playback and videos, navigation, and other multimedia. Apart from these, Bluetooth Hands-Free, USB ports, a nine-speaker audio system, 200 GB of Hard drive, Wi-Fi Hotspot, and SiriusXM. There are also a few options like a 16-speaker Harman Kardon or Bang & Olufsen stereo system and a rear-seat entertainment system with display screens and individual beverage coolers.

  • iDrive Infotainment System with a wide range of app support
  • AM/FM/CD player
  • Rear Seat Display
  • Harman Kardon/ B&O Premium Sound System
  • Bluetooth Handsfree
  • SiriusXM satellite radio and HD radio
Exterior
9.9/10

The 2015 X6 comes with a newly designed silhouette that looks more premium and evolutionary which makes it one of the most appealing and provoking SUVs in the price segment. The front fascia houses the adaptive LED headlights which are sharper and decorate the face with a mean look. The front grille is reworked; it looks more chiseled and is nicely placed in the middle. The taillights consist of LEDs that hug the car, assisted by a slim spoiler that adds to the SUV’s sportiness. 

The exhausts fitted in the back are accented in chrome, which looks eye-catchy and contributes to the decoration of the car. The arches are taken care of by a wide choice of alloy wheel options, as standard you get 19” Y-Spoke shaped alloy wheels, but you can further fit 20” alloys which will add generous spice to its appeal.

  • Air-breather element
  • Express Open/close sliding and tilting Glass Sunroof
Safety
7.0/10

A fastbacked, hatch-having' four-door

Pros - Powerful engine, comfortable ride, handling, quiet interior and ample interior storage spots.

Cons - Limited cargo space, limited rear headroom and poor rearward visibility.

Sporty high performance SUV with a plush interior. Although it appears to be a mix between an SUV and a high-end coupe, my 2015 X6 is fun to drive but lacks practicality. Its rapid acceleration and engaging handling make it a delight to drive, but it suffers from limited storage room and poor rear visibility. The dramatically sloping roof line creates a distinctive silhouette but limits interior ...

refined and comfortable midsize SUV Three years ago I was quite amazed by the performance-oriented premium midsize SUV, my BMW X6 is a wise option.

Poor rear visibility.

Pros - Plush cabin, Ride quality.

Cons - Rear visibility, Heated steering wheel, Heads up display.

Unimpressive heads up display. I have a few problems with my BMW X6. The heated steering wheel doesn't work effectively during winter. The heads up display, on the other hand, is a bit difficult to read in the morning. Moreover, the rear visibility is a bit restricted due to the thick pillars and the sloping roofline. My experience with the dealership was good but the service department is ...
