Conceived as a blend of a sports coupe and a sport utility vehicle, the original BMW X6 was a breakout product when it was launched in 2008. Its coupe-like shape has spawned a legion of copycat designs from competitors like Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
The Bavarian marquee refreshed its roster again Tuesday with the redesign of its influential X6 crossover utility vehicle.
"It made a difference" in the market, offering more creativity than the classic, boxy SUV, said Stephanie Brinley, a principal analyst at IHS Markit. "How many are too many?" she asked, adding that as the global automotive market begins to slow down, "that will sort out," with some low-volume models likely to be pulled from showrooms. That could include some BMW offerings, though Brinley sees the X6 as continuing to be one of the brand's more important and influential products.
BMW hasn't disclosed the gas mileage for the 2020 model, but the 2019 X6 xDrive50i got 17 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. Top speed for all models is 130 mph on standard tires; 155 mph on performance tires. Pricing isn't available yet, but the base price for the 2019 model is $63,550, plus delivery fees.
