BMW X6 – The All New Style Setter

When the X5 was first introduced it became an instant hit with the general public because it was something different and unique from BMW. After all, they were hardly leaders in the new and used BMW 4x4 market sector and so this introduction was a welcomed addition to the range, which has now gone on to become a vehicle that will almost certainly go down in the history books. The X3 followed but due to the similarities between the two, it wasn’t awarded with as much popularity. BMW needed to do something and needed to go back to the drawing board to conjure up a new design that would gain the same sort of recognition that the X5 did upon its initial release. The answer was of course the BMW X6, which definitely sent ripples through the industry due to its eccentric and indifferent design. Bold, robust and at the same time beautiful would be the best ways to describe the X6 and it very clearly marks an improvement on the X5. The most distinct area of the vehicle must be the rear, which has been raised and tilted in a way that makes it rather unique and interesting. From the side the X6 looks like a stretched and lowered X5, which therefore gives it just enough of an identity to be recognised as a 4x4 BMW. The front looks rather similar as well although there are some modifications that have been made to make the vehicle more unique. Currently only available in one model version, the BMW 6 looks like it may well be one for the future and, if initial interest is anything to go by, will follow the X5 into the history books.
