The 2024 BMW X6 should start arriving in the United States sometime in Spring 2023, and we couldn’t be more excited about it. Sharing much of its changes with the 2024 BMW X5, it’s going to deliver more of what we love about the current version with some updates that will keep it competitive in the market. Some markets will see this vehicle as a 2023 model, but we wrote this article with the North American market in mind. If you’re looking forward to the next generation of the first-ever Sport Activity Coupe, this is a look at what to expect from the 2024 BMW X6.

Both will feature the now-ubiquitous 48-volt mild hybrid system we’ve seen rolling out in vehicles like the 2023 BMW X7.
The B58 will likely match or come close to the current output in the X7 xDrive40i. Expect to peak horsepower to hover around 375 horsepower at 5,500 rpm. 398 pound-feet of torque will be on tap from just 1500 rpm. The S68 will make its X6 debut, likely in the X6 M60i trim, making around 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque – the same as the outgoing, pre-facelift version. Enthusiasts looking for that extra performance may not find comfort in the unchanged numbers, but the sound and character of a true M engine will likely help them forget that part.

Touches like revised lower air intakes, wider kidneys, and narrower headlights will align the vehicle with the rest of the current BMW lineup. Expect M-influenced side mirrors on M Sport and M Performance models. No news on colors yet, but here’s hoping for Brooklyn Grey or Skyscraper Grey. Unfortunately, we…
