2012 BMW X6

2012 BMW X6

With questionable styling, a but practical four or 5-seat cabin, and a steep pricetag, there are various reasons not to love the BMW X6, but for some reason the X6 remains one of these vehicles that are simply begging to be driven.

And when driving the most recent 2012 model, we tend to should agree. Power ranges from 300 to 400 horsepower however if this is still not enough you may continuously opt for the 555-horsepower X6 M. Yes, a frenzied M version of the X6 does exist.

However, the standard versions certainly shouldn’t be overlooked. Performance of the X6, whether or not we have a tendency to’re taking about the base 3.0-liter turbocharged in-line six-cylinder or the four.four-liter turbocharged V-8, is robust, and terribly, terribly addictive. All models are fitted with customary all-wheel drive.

Note, BMW is introducing a slightly facelifted version for the 2013 model year though the changes are minimal so if you'll be able to get a sensible deal on a 2012 model don’t feel unhealthy that it isn’t the most recent factor on the move. Additionally note that a previous ActiveHybrid X6 has been dropped from the 2012 X6 lineup.

The X6 was the first model to combine the off-road capability of a four-wheel drive with the svelte styling of a coupe. The formula proved successful with luxury patrons and now a handful of rival automakers are racing to make their own versions.

That coupe-like profile interprets into a comparatively tight cabin, which may come back as a surprise given the size of the vehicle. The sloping roof conjointly curtails rear cargo house somewhat though there’s additional than most sedans provide. All the interior details are luxurious, as you'd expect from any BMW, with quality materials, leather upholstery, and trendy, if understated, European style themes.

Additionally like most BMWs, the list of options and equipment are abundant: standard ten-manner power-adjustable driver's and front passenger's seats, wood trim, a wide selection of interior colors and materials selections, a ten-speaker sound system, iPod/USB connectivity, and all the facility accessories and adaptive/automatic options you'd expect in an exceedingly fashionable luxury crossover.

On the move, you’d forget your driving a truck apart from the taller ride height. The eight-speed automatic is one smooth operator and therefore the steering is light but accurate. You’ll feel some body-roll throughout high speed corners but nowhere near as a lot of as a typical crossover or SUV.
