BMW X6. An entirely new type of car, a unique design concept and driving dynamics never seen before – all this is becoming reality in the guise of the new BMW X6.

The world’s first Sports Activity Coupé offers fascinating features and skills in a combination unmatched by any other vehicle. In its design the new BMW X6 combines the sporting elegance of a large BMW Coupé with the powerful presence of a BMW X model.

The BMW X6 develops its unique driving characteristics through the unpre-cedented combination of dynamic performance on the road so typical of the BMW brand with unique supremacy on all tracks and terrain, entering the market with the commitment to introduce a radical change in mentality: The new BMW X6 adds an innovative and highly attractive facet to the very special nature of a BMW Coupé, at the same time opening up a brand-new perspective in the BMW X family.

Featuring low side window areas and a roofline dropping smoothly to the rear, the BMW X6 clearly offers all the proportions of a genuine, fully-fledged coupé. Inside, the new model – again in typical coupé style – provides ample space for the driver and front passengers as well as two further occupants at the rear, travelling on generously dimensioned rear seats in sporting design, with individual seat contours and integrated headrests.

Enhanced ground clearance, flared wheel arches in striking design, four doors, a large rear lid as well as the high waistline all bear out a clear styling resem¬blance to the other models in the BMW X range. This design is indeed an authentic expression of the dynamic driving potential offered by the BMW X6 through its drivetrain and suspension technology not only on the road, but also on rough terrain.

The BMW X6 comes as standard with BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive technology with electronic control for variable distribution of drive power between the front and rear axles consistently adjusted to driving conditions at all times and in all situations.
