xDrive30d (2014-2019)

Can you afford a 2014-2019 BMW X6 xDrive30d in 2025?

# 2014-2019 BMW X6 xDrive30d The second-generation BMW X6 xDrive30d epitomizes the polarizing "Sports Activity Coupé" segment BMW created. This diesel-powered variant pairs a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six (258 hp) with xDrive all-wheel drive, delivering brisk performance and surprisingly capable handling for a large SUV. Reviewers praise its commanding driving position, potent diesel torque, and impressive fuel economy (30+ mpg highway), though criticize the compromised rear headroom and cargo space versus the X5. The coupe-like roofline remains divisive—critics call it impractical; fans appreciate its aggressive styling. **Famous for:** Pioneering the coupe-SUV trend that sparked numerous imitators. **Best suited for:** Buyers prioritizing style over practicality who want diesel efficiency with premium badge appeal. Ideal for highway commuters and empty-nesters who rarely use rear seats but desire BMW's sporting dynamics in SUV form.

The X6 xDrive30d diesel faces high maintenance costs typical of BMW, including expensive brake jobs and electronic repairs. The N57 diesel engine is generally reliable but can suffer costly injector and turbo failures. Parts and labor are premium-priced. Insurance runs high due to luxury classification and theft risk. Not sold in U.S. markets.
