2026 BMW X6 xDrive40i Automatic

The 2026 BMW X6 xDrive40i combines the elevated driving position and everyday practicality expected of a large BMW SUV with the more expressive shape of a coupe-inspired body. Finished in Black with a Cognac interior, this new example presents a distinctive specification centred on strong performance, all-wheel-drive traction and a comprehensive suite of comfort, connectivity and driver-assistance equipment.

Power comes from a petrol engine producing 280 kW (381 hp) and 520Nm, paired with an automatic transmission and BMW’s all-wheel-drive system. The manufacturer-listed figures include a 0-100km/h time of 5.40 seconds and a maximum speed of 250 km/h, giving the X6 the performance breadth to feel composed in routine driving while retaining considerable reserve for open-road use. Claimed combined fuel consumption is 9.3L/100km, with an 83-litre fuel tank supporting longer journeys between stops.

The cabin is designed as a connected, supportive environment rather than simply a place to travel. BMW Live Cockpit Professional provides the central interface, while Connected Package Professional, a personal eSIM and TeleServices extend the vehicle’s digital functionality. Wireless Charging Storage helps keep compatible devices accessible, and DAB+ radio adds another source of entertainment. Electric seat adjustment with memory, front seat heating, lumbar support and a heated M leather steering wheel contribute to a more tailored driving position. The Cognac interior is complemented by Fineline Black with Metal Effect trim, an anthracite headliner and ambient lighting.

Its equipment also places a strong emphasis on visibility, parking and active safety. Adaptive LED headlights and High-Beam Assistant help manage changing light conditions, while Parking Assistant Professional is intended to make low-speed manoeuvring more straightforward. Driving Assistant Professional, Intelligent Emergency Calling, Active Protection and Active Pedestrian Protection add further layers of assistance and occupant protection. Comfort Access, an anti-theft security system and an emergency spare wheel are practical additions for day-to-day ownership.

The exterior specification gives the X6 a purposeful character. An M Aerodynamics package, M High-Gloss Shadow Line detailing, Adaptive M Suspension and sport seats reinforce its performance-oriented presentation without removing its touring focus. The panoramic glass roof brings additional light into the cabin, while the BMW kidney Iconic Glow, M Sport Package Pro and Enhancement Package add further visual, chassis and equipment elements. The latter packages include features such as an M Sport exhaust system, red high-gloss M Sport brakes, M seat belts, extended Shadow Line detailing, tyre-pressure monitoring, CraftedClarity interior glass and a Harman Kardon Surround Sound System.
