2021 BMW X6 - Everything You Need to Know !!!
What's New for 2021?
The 2021 X6 lineup adds some new standard features, drops some old ones, and gets revised option packages. The most notable new addition is Android Auto, which was previously not available and now comes standard. However, BMW eliminates previous options such as the acoustic glass, glass interior controls, rear-entertainment system, and night vision with pedestrian detection. The six-cylinder X6 now features a 48-volt hybrid system, and the V-8-powered version adds standard remote start and ventilated front seats.
Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The X6 40i is powered by a 335-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six that features a 48-volt hybrid system and pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and either rear- or all-wheel drive. The M50i has the same transmission and standard all-wheel drive, but its twin-turbo 4.4-liter V-8 is significantly more powerful. Its 523 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque helped it rocket from to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds at our test track. What's even more shocking is that the X6 M has up to 617 horsepower and is even quicker. Still, the standard six-cylinder powertrain is plenty quick and velvety smooth. Both the X6 40i and M50i also have standard adaptive dampers and wheel sizes that range from 20 to 22 inches. Our test of the V-8-powered X6 revealed its impressive cornering grip and stopping power. Although its suspension is firmer than the setup found on the six-cylinder X6 we tested, it was never punishing.
Fuel Economy and Real-World MPG
The EPA estimates the rear-drive X6 40i will earn 21 mpg in the city and 26 on the highway. The all-wheel-drive version has the same city rating, but its highway figure drops to 25 mpg. The much more powerful twin-turbo V-8 X6 M50i is rated at 16 mpg city and 22 highway. While the six-cylinder X6 with all-wheel drive exceeded the government's expectations on our 75-mph highway fuel-economy route-part of our extensive testing regimen-earning 29 mpg highway, the M50i missed its mark by 2 mpg in the same test.
Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
Unsurprisingly, the X6 interior looks and feels like most other new BMW products. That means upscale materials and soft-touch surfaces abound, and two large 12.3-inch digital displays dominate the dashboard. While the instrument panel looks slicks, the gauges are a confusing mess. Thankfully, the optional head-up display is more straightforward. The rest of the switchgear is also smartly laid out. BMW's gesture controls-which enable you to control certain functions like audio volume by waving your hand in front of the infotainment screen-are included but unnecessary. Plenty of standard amenities are offered, too, including 16-way power-adjustable front seats, customizable ambient lighting, heated front cushions, and passive entry. While the back seat is comfortable for two adults, its legroom and headroom shrink by about 2 and 3 inches, respectively, compared with the boxier X5. Likewise, the X6 has less cargo volume behind the rear seats. In our test, it only held nine carry-on suitcases back there; the X5 handled 11.
Infotainment and Connectivity
The standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It operates through various functions such as traditional buttons, voice commands, a rotary controller on the center console, and even hand gestures. The company's iDrive interface has crisp graphics and immediate responses, but some of the layered menus can be distracting. BMW also offers upgrades such as built-in navigation, enhanced USB ports, wireless charging, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. The X6 can also be upgraded with a premium Harman/Kardon stereo or an even more premium Bowers & Wilkins unit.
Safety and Driver-Assistance Features
The 2021 X6 hasn't been crash-tested by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). Still, the Bimmer is available with a plethora of standard and optional driver-assistance technology. Key safety features include:
Standard forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking
Standard blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert
Available adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go technology

This year, the M340i’s turbo-6 gets massaged up to 382 horsepower (up from 355 hp last year) and it can spring from 0-60 mph in 4.1 seconds.

Great video for anyone now looking for pre-owned 2021 X5 models
the performance of this car is underwhelming.
Liked your tutorial...bad lighting though. Wish you had gone through the communications console, menu in depth.
Excellent luxurious machine BMWX6 yes it is thanks for the video
The GLE coupe looks way better and you get double the horsepower with an in line 6
Great video man , I just got x2 2021 i16 But I cannot connect my iPhone with CarPlay , can you help me with that ??
Hi, could anyone share thoughts about the engine? How reliable is it and how often should it be maintained in terms of timing chain, etc. ?
Nice review!! Thanks!
very detailed - great video!
The previous 430 and 428 did not have an inline 6, it also had a 4 cylinder
I have a 219 R Line .. How do I turn the second row lights off?
I have been driving an X2 around for the week. The X2 tries way too hard to be a Subaru Forster in BMW's clothing. It's an annoying and unpleasant vehicle. Just get a Subaru or get a proper BMW. Make up your mind about what you want in a vehicle.
Hi, I have a few corrections. At least for US models. I have a 2020 which has standard 18” wheels. Starting in 2021 it came with standard 19 x 7.5, P245/50HR19 wheels / tires. Also the 2 buttons on the tailgate, first closes the tailgate, the second (lock) button locks all doors and tailgate. Mine also has the kick to open / close feature. Which I assume this has also. The button on the seat is not lumbar support, but side bolster adjustment. Lumbar support is an option with a package. The manually adjustment on the front of the seat is a thigh support, not lumbar. The lumbar area is located on one’s lower back. Recommend getting one with Premium package (heads up display, Nav, all electronic dashboard, etc), Parking Assist Plus (3D surround cameras, automatic parking assist), Driver Assist (for 2018 - 2020 models, includes blind spot and lane departure).
Very good explaining 😅
I just purchased a 2022 BMW X1 20d and love it! There are so many features and it's difficult to know how they all work. First-time owners will need to read the manual several times or watch YT videos!
Totally agree. Congrats on your x1
Is it a must to utilize premium or 91 fuel?
Engine is tuned for 91. I don’t recommend a lower octane
Doesn't look like arctic grey.
But it is lol
What is the tiny button next to the number one in the Shortcut buttons?
Thanks Shawn ,
Great video! Thanks a lot! You made my choice a bit easier :)
I’m happy to help
Thanks :) quick and enough of information.
Thank you
✅‼️
Park with sun behind you next time. Folding mirrors? Adjustable rear seats?
Your right. Will do that next time
Not fully loaded at all pmsl 😂
Beautiful car! Love the new grill design. Its modern, aggressive, and already making the small grill designs look dated. It was time to break away from the 40 year old grill design. To me the current 330 looks like the new Honda Accord. All the premium brands are following the modern design trend of big grills!
Great ride!
Can't wait for the X0.5 and X8 release
Crazy man...I feel like my 20 Silverado LTZ has more features and this a BMW we're talking about
Hi , does rear cross traffic alert come with auto brake when backing up ? Thanks
Great review
Why is there so few in black. X1 is certainly looked the best in black.
Next time, don't turn the camera against the rising sun, amateur
Can’t wait for your videos
What is the rest button doing on the HVAC ?
This is probably the very best video I've seen regarding the BMW X6, love the amount detail. I prefer the Arctic grey with the red interior/ wood grain and Shadow package.
Why would you film this into Sun❓Seriously❓
I don't get why so many people hate on this car because it shares the same platfirm as the countryman. BMW owns Mini and Mini is a great brand in terms of performance, so unless you're a BMW enthusiast I can't see any reason to hate the X1. It offers more space than the countryman, more horsepower and wears a premium badge.
does the base model have the keyless entry in canada?
The red interior on these are beautiful
I have mine for about 4 weeks just love it
I have a 2018 M series, amazing blue color. I love it, feels like I'm gliding
Great video! I’m a little upset that mine is getting customized and I ordered the wireless charging just to now find out my iPhone 12 Pro Max won’t fit. I’m sad now 😔 I wonder if I still have time to take that option off.
Can you cast car play on the cockpit?
What do you suggest for automatic stop and start engine? Do you think it’s good or should I turn it off? I’m new to BMW and not sure if this function is really good. Thank you.
I have an older BMW and cannot disengage the auto stop start engine feature. BUT in Sport modes, it automatically disengages. Of course, Sport mode must be set each time I drive it. Is the x1 same in this respect:: Probably.
No ventilated front seats? Not even as an option? Damn I was so close to getting this car but not offering ventilated seats was the deal breaker for me.
Only 4-series and above.
That’s one of the best color on cars, but I prefer black over silver trim colors.
great review!
It's sad that BMW took away the corona headlights. They're really cool and very distinctive. What idiot made the decision to do away with them?
How did you get your front lights to blink like that? I just bought the 2020 Cross Sport SE 2.0.
6:19 they won’t
Thank you for this video. I have one query related to x3 personal assistant. It doesn't operate for the simple features like adjusting temperature etc.. Is it a limitation with X3?
I'm not 100% sure. I recommend reaching out to your local BMW dealership.
