Comparison Review

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the BMW X6 as you will with the Land Rover Defender, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the BMW X6 will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Land Rover Defender. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The BMW X6 carries a much lower Destination Charge than the Land Rover Defender.

Dimensions
The BMW X6 is about the same width as the Land Rover Defender. When looking at overall length, the BMW X6 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Land Rover Defender.

Performance
The BMW X6 has a little less horsepower than the Land Rover Defender.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the BMW X6 doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Land Rover Defender.

Utility
The BMW X6 has less seating than the Land Rover Defender, making the Land Rover Defender the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers.

Warranty
The BMW X6 comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Land Rover Defender.
