2017 BMW X6 review

1. An executive experience 

Take the interior experience of a 2017 BMW X6 up to the executive level. When you get a 2017 BMW X6 equipped with the Executive Package (xDrive50i only), you’ll enjoy comforts like soft-close power doors, ceramic-trimmed finishes, and rear window shades. Plus, you get tech features like a heads-up display, wireless charging, and an available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot.

2. Plenty of included features 

You don’t have to get the top trim 2017 BMW X6 to get the features on your wishlist. That’s because standard equipment includes comforts like dual-zone automatic climate control, leather seats, driver memory settings, and a power liftgate. Or, stay connected with standard tech like navigation, Bluetooth^® connectivity, and a 10.2-inch infotainment system that includes some integrated smartphone apps. 

3. Powerful duo of engines 

While both options deliver competent performance, the available turbocharged V8 in the 2017 BMW X6 is the most powerful at 455 hp. But that doesn’t mean the base engine is a slouch, either. At 300 hp, the turbocharged six-cylinder is an ideal all-around performer. Both engines get paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission, while xDrive models add AWD. 

4. Sharp handling and strong performance 

When you combine the available turbocharged V8 engine and the Dynamic Handling package, you unlock the full potential of the 2017 BMW X6. This package adds adaptive suspension and driver-adjustable shocks, which deliver laser-precise handling in tight corners. Or, feel the acceleration rush delivered by the turbocharged V8’s zero to 60 time of just 4.6 seconds (when new). 

5. Available suite of driver aids 

Let the available modern technology in a 2017 BMW X6 help with freeway driving. Look for a 2017 BMW X6 with the Driver Assistance Plus package to get active assists like adaptive cruise control and forward collision mitigation. Plus, passive driver aids included in the package provide helpful nudges, like blind spot and lane departure warnings. Lastly, keep the important information in sight with the heads-up display.
