In Saudi Arabia, the BMW X6 2025 stands out for its bold coupe SUV design and strong performance. However, behind its premium appeal, there are factors that might make buyers think twice before committing. From high ownership costs to limited practicality, this luxury model may not be the most suitable choice for local driving conditions and priorities.
The starting price of the BMW X6 2025 is already high, and when optional equipment packages are added, the cost can climb significantly. For Saudi buyers, this places it out of reach for many, especially when competing models offer similar technology and performance for a noticeably lower price. While it delivers luxury, the value proposition is not always as strong as that of its rivals.
One of the biggest concerns for X6 ownership is the ongoing cost of maintenance and genuine spare parts. In Saudi Arabia, these expenses are often higher than average, especially if servicing is done exclusively at authorized dealers to maintain the car’s condition. For buyers, this means planning for a sizeable post-purchase budget that can add up over the years.
The sloping coupe-style roof gives the X6 its sporty appearance but reduces rear headroom and cargo space compared to the BMW X5. With rear seats folded, it offers up to 59.6 cubic feet of storage, which is still less than more traditional SUVs. While front passengers enjoy high comfort, rear passengers may feel cramped, making it less ideal for family use or long trips.
Although the X6 offers strong engine options, including a V8, its fuel consumption is relatively high. The US data suggests an average of about 8 km per liter, which is not ideal for those who travel long distances daily. The sporty suspension delivers excellent stability but can feel firmer on rough or unpaved roads, reducing comfort in certain conditions.
Luxury models from BMW often see significant depreciation in the first few years. In Saudi Arabia, this can make the X6 less attractive for resale compared to competitors with stronger used car demand. Buyers looking for long-term value may find better options with higher resale stability.
