How the 2023 BMW X5 Compares to the BMW X6

If you're looking for a classy SUV that effortlessly marries power and sophistication, you will likely encounter the 2023 BMW X5 or the BMW X6. Both of these fine vehicles are outstanding in their own way, and to help you decide which is the best fit for you, our BMW dealers serving Van Nuys put together this brief guide to understanding the key differences between these two popular models.

The 2023 BMW X5 and BMW X6 Deliver Powerful Performance

Base models of the BMW X5 and 2023 BMW X6 both feature a three-liter turbocharged V6 engine that delivers a formidable 335 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque with options available for higher-output powertrains.

For green-minded drivers, the 2023 BMW X5 is also available with a plug-in hybrid powertrain that leverages a battery-powered electric motor against a turbocharged V6 to output a formidable 389 horsepower and a pin-you-to-your seat 443 lb-ft of torque. Even more impressive, this BMW hybrid model earns a manufacturer-estimated all-electric range of up to 30 miles, making it perfect for errands around town. Regrettably, the BMW X6 does not feature any hybrid options.

The 2023 BMW X5 and BMW X6 Feature Distinctively Luxurious Cabins

Where the 2023 BMW X5 and BMW X6 genuinely shine, however, is with their interior. Luxuries abound with soft-touch materials, heated seats, and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that come standard on both of these BMW SUV models. They even feature a digital driver gauge display and an intuitive rotary dial for controlling connected media, integrated smartphone apps, and setting driver preferences.

Don't let the naming convention fool you, though: the BMW X5 delivers a whopping 103 cubic feet of passenger volume and 72.3 cubic feet of cargo volume, which handily outperforms the 100 cubic feet of passenger volume and comparatively snug 59.6 cubic feet of cargo volume offered by the BMW X6. If you need more space to transport passengers or cargo, the 2023 BMW X5 gives you a helpful edge over its sister model.
