2025 BMW X6 Review: The Original Sports Activity Coupe, Reimagined
The 2025 BMW X6 continues to lead the charge in the niche it helped create: the sports activity coupe (SAC). With its unmistakable coupe-like roofline, athletic stance, and luxury-focused interior, the X6 remains a polarizing but undeniably compelling SUV for those who want style with substance.
For 2025, BMW gives the X6 a sophisticated refresh—enhancing powertrains, fine-tuning design elements, and packing in more digital features. The result? A sleeker, smarter, and sharper X6 that’s just as at home cruising city streets as it is tackling winding mountain roads.
1. Design: Edgier Than Ever
BMW has refined the X6’s appearance for 2025, giving it a more aggressive and modern face while preserving its bold personality. Key exterior updates include:
-
Slimmer adaptive LED headlights with a new arrow-shaped signature
-
Revised kidney grille (now optional with illumination on M Sport models)
-
More sculpted front and rear bumpers
-
New wheel designs ranging from 20 to 22 inches
-
A refreshed palette of body colors, including bold metallic finishes
Its sloping roofline remains the X6’s hallmark—giving it a unique coupe-like silhouette that separates it from the more upright X5.
