BMW X6
We’re kind of at a loss here. We knew BMW was working on an SUV with a swoopy shape, but nothing could have prepared us for this. The Concept X6 is a real BMW, folks. The name might say concept — a hybrid version of it will be another Frankfurt concept — but BMW has been testing the X6 for production for quite some time. It seems BMW actually intends to sell this “sport activity coupe” to the masses. How big the masses are remains to be seen.
Why are we blown away? Well, despite recent anti-SUV sentiment in the U.S., luxury SUVs are still selling well, and the redesigned BMW X5 is the company’s best SUV to date — perhaps even the best luxury SUV on the market. BMW doesn’t need another vehicle in this segment, and the X6 will have less room inside than the X5. Perhaps the radical look, augmented by ridiculously huge 21-inch wheels, will draw those who don’t want a soccer-mom mobile.
The idea of a four-door coupe body style isn’t new — see the Mercedes-Benz CLS — but putting it on an off-roadable platform seems like an odd choice; it certainly doesn’t look like anything else on the road.
