BMW X6 vs BMW X7
Verdict
The BMW X7 is the more practical buy on paper: RM630,800 plays RM734,800 for the X6, yet it gets seven seats, 375 hp and 520 Nm. The X6 counters with the sharper sprint, doing 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds against 5.8 seconds, plus a larger listed boot at 580 litres. The X7 is the big one, 5,151 mm long with a 3,105 mm wheelbase, so it better suits families needing space. But if you want the quicker five-seat SUV, the X6 still has the numbers.
Pick the BMW X6 if you want the quicker five-seat SUV and value its 580-litre listed boot over extra chairs.
Pick the BMW X7 if you need seven seats, more power and torque, and a lower RM630,800 price.
