The BMW X6 is still pretty much a mystery to all, but what can be assured is that you will be blown away.
BMW is applying an aggressive application of the four-door-coupe concept first seen on the Mercedes CLS, to the new SUV genre. What makes the X6 so unique is that the new look and style is directed towards the new generation – where looks are more important than practicality. Don’t get me wrong, the BMW’s X6 is pretty practical, it’s just a little more pretty than practical. The new X6 will only seat four as opposed to the previous model’s ability to seat at least five.
The second-row headroom and rear cargo volume are both severely compromised due to the fact that the roofline begins arching downward after the B-pillar and continues plunging right to the X6’s rising waistline. It is longer and lower than the X5, and yet it seats fewer people. According to BMW what the new X6 loses in seating, it gains in performance. I suppose they have a point…
It is not known exactly when the new X6 will arrive in South Africa, but it is believed that it will be some time next year.
