BMW X6 Leasing

The X6 is larger than the BMW X4 and so offers more space, but perhaps not as much as you might think. The X6 has 580 litres of boot space with the rear seats in place, only 55 litres more than the X4. The split rear seats fold in a 40/20/40 configuration to carry both people and luggage, and there is more headroom than in the X4, if not quite as much as some rivals. Legroom and space in the front is fine for people of all shapes and sizes.

Lots of storage spaces are dotted around the interior. The door pockets are a decent size, while 2 cupholders in the front and a large armrest offer more cubbies. The boot floor is flat and items can be hidden from view by a roller cover.

In the same mould as models from Audi, Mercedes and Porsche, BMWs are premium cars with a focus on performance, so they won’t be the cheapest to lease. The engines in the X6 are high-performance petrols and diesels linked to a 4-wheel-drive system, so don’t expect the BMW to be the most economical. Saying that, the lowest-powered diesel – which still has 286hp – returns up to 42mpg on official economy tests.

Naturally, the high-power X6 M50i and X6M Competition are the least economical, achieving low-20s mpg figures, but they are on a level with other rivals with the same performance. Don’t forget, though, that if you drive them enthusiastically, you’re likely to get much less impressive fuel economy.

If you want to lease a large premium SUV that favours driving dynamics alongside practicality, then the X6 is a great choice. It’s more economical than some of its rivals, too.

Both of BMW’s SUVs are excellent leasing choices. The X5 has a larger boot and will be more comfortable for rear-seat passengers, but the X6 is still very practical.

BMW often finishes ahead of Audi, Land Rover, Mercedes and Porsche) in reliability surveys, and the X6 has a 3-year unlimited mileage warranty as standard, which includes BMW Emergency Service for those unforeseen events.

The base X6 is Sport, which offers a high level of standard equipment, while the X6M Sport looks altogether more sporty with its M-specific styling. The M50i adds more glitz and performance, but choose the M Competition if you want the ultimate X6.

The X6M Competition has more power than the X6 M50i (625- versus 530hp) and sportier looks, with bi-colour alloy wheels and a more sumptuous interior. It also has a BMW M Sport differential.

The standard X6s use 3.0-litre turbocharged 6-cylinder petrol and diesel engines. The high-performance X6 M50i and X6M Competition models have 4.4-litre, twin-turbocharged 8-cylinder engines.
