Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Like the regular Q5, the high-performance SQ5 receives a host of exterior updates, including an all-new Sportback variant, for 2021 to freshen its look. New exterior lighting elements, a tweaked grille and bumpers, and new wheel designs differentiate it from last year's model. The top-spec Prestige gets OLED taillights as standard, and two new colors join the palette: Ultra Blue and District Green.

Pros
Handsomely-equipped cabin,
comfortable ride,
decent fuel economy for a performance SUV.

Cons
Not overly spacious,
turbo V-6 doesn't match rivals' horsepower,
handling not as sharp as it could be.

Sportier Sportback does well to not compromise on practicality, but you’ll pay a premium for odd looks.

Pros
Impressively practical despite the roof,
interior is still top of the class

Cons
It will give you an existential crisis.
What is it all for?

The 2019 BMW Alpina B6 Gran Coupe belongs to the contemporary set of sloped-roof four-doors, combining the sporty look of a luxury coupe with the convenience of a sedan. Apple CarPlay support is now included.Based on the fourth 6 Series generation introduced for 2017.

Pros
Scintillating power and acceleration from the turbocharged V8 engine
All-wheel drive provides sure-footed traction
Lavishly trimmed and equipped interior
More exclusive than BMW M models

Cons
Coupe shape compromises backseat accommodations
Some may find the styling enhancements too subtle for the price tag
Subscription-based Apple CarPlay support
