2024 BMW X5 vs. BMW X6: One Brand, Two Takes on Style and Performance

With so many BMW models on offer, there’s something for every driver seeking a premium driving experience. Two favorites among visitors to BMW of Sherman Oaks are the 2024 BMW X5 and the 2024 BMW X6. Both crossovers offer plenty to love, but their differences are tailored to different ends and differing priorities.

Body Styles

The most obvious – and striking – difference between these BMW models is their body styling. The 2024 BMW X5 has a longer lineage and a more traditional SUV silhouette, offering the ride height and cargo volume one expects. By contrast, the 2024 BMW X6 features multiple body styles, highlighted by the brand’s signature Sports Activity Coupe design that is sleeker but which comes with a few practical tradeoffs.

Interior Space

The 2024 BMW X5 features more interior space thanks to its conventional two-box body style. It holds up to 33.9 cubic feet of cargo space, with 40.7 inches of front headroom and 37.4 inches of rear legroom.

The 2024 BMW X6 starts on the same platform as the BMW X5, offering similar headroom and legroom for its five passengers. It differs most in its cargo capacity; the gentle slope of the roofline results in 27.4 cubic feet of storage space behind the rear seats.

Engine

Besides sharing a platform, both vehicles also feature the same powertrain and driveline. The 3.0-liter inline-six engine generates up to 375 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque, with standard xDrive® All-Wheel Drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission.
