BMW X6 review

Last july BMW released all new BMW X6. The second generation X6 builds with striking body shape, and classy interior also have improved aerodynamics and cutdown the fuel consumption to 22 percentage.
Despite its plunging roofline, there's more space head and legroom in the back for three adults, with extended boot space on comparison with previous model.

Styling

Styling is the central part of the high end sports car. The BMW X6 still combines of high up SUV with driving pleasure of sporty coupe. BMW has flatten its trademark kidey grills with a pair of narrow headlight clutters. 

At the rear, the X6 looks much less sporty than it does at the front. The raised ride height means the sloping roof doesn’t meet the rear bumper like a conventional coupĂ©, leaving a large slab of metal on the rear hatch. It’s still heavily sculpted at the back, with the twin tailpipes housed in a gloss bumper insert. 


Driving

4.4
The X6’s (and to a lesser extent the X5’s) defining characteristic has always been the physics-defying way it drives. Despite tipping the scales at a portly 2,185kg the X6 manages to scythe through corners with precious little body roll and masses of grip – especially in the incredible X6M.
The steering could do with a little more feel, but there’s nothing wrong with the speed in which front-end reacts to your inputs. Four driving modes are available – Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport and Sport+ - that sharpen up the powertrain and chassis (and firm up the dampers if you option Adaptive M suspension, standard on M Sport models, the M50d and the X6M).

Running Costs

2.8
Running a large premium SUV like this is never going to be cheap, but fuel consumption is impressive given the performance on offer. The most efficient model it the xDrive30d, which returns fuel economy and CO2 emissions of 47.1mpg and 157g/km (or 159g/km if you order the M Sport package that comes with bigger 20-inch wheels).

The M50d is a full 1.5 seconds faster from 0-62mph, dispatching the sprint in 5.2 seconds, yet still returns 42.8mpg and 174g/km of CO2. The xDrive50i is 0.4 seconds faster from 0-62mph than the M50d, but you’ll pay for it at the fuel pumps - the V8 returns 29.1mpg and 225g/km.
