The BMW X6

The world’s first Sports Activity Coupé offers features and abilities not available in a comparable combination in any other car in the world. 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 unique driving characteristics of the BMW X6, in turn, come from the innovative combination of driving dynamics on the road so typical of BMW and absolute supremacy on all kinds of terrain. So this is a unique coupé and, at the same time, a very special BMW X model.

With its low-slung side windows and the roofline tapering out to the rear, the BMW X6 unmistakably boasts the proportions of a genuine coupé. Inside – again in typical coupé style – the BMW X6 accommodates the driver and
front passenger as well as two further passengers at the rear. Extra ground clearance, strikingly designed wheel arches, four doors, the large rear hatch as well as the high waistline bear a clear resemblance in style to BMW’s other X models. 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 and off the beaten track.

The BMX X6 comes as standard with BMW’s intelligent xDrive for variable distribution of drive power between the front and rear axle. In addition, this
is the first vehicle in the world to feature Dynamic Performance Control likewise fitted as standard for variable distribution of drive forces between the two rear wheels. So regardless of the actual power and traction coming from the engine, the power and torque delivered, say, to the outer wheel in a bend can be actively increased whenever required.

This system – unique the world over – significantly enhances steering precision, traction on bends and, accordingly, the agility of the vehicle even at moderate speeds. On fast bends and in abrupt steering manoeuvres or when suddenly taking back engine power, Dynamic Performance Control serves furthermore to enhance the stability of the vehicle, allowing the driver to safely enter a new dimension of driving dynamics. On slippery and mixed surfaces, finally, Dynamic Performance Control offers the advantage of even better and more reliable traction.
