X-tra sporty

NOW that everyone has got used to the way the BMW X6 looks, it seems the German luxury manufacturer has left the exterior styling untouched to concentrate instead on the interior for the latest iteration.

The X6 sport-utility vehicle with the distinctive design is dubbed a Sport Activity Coupe by BMW - a so-called "coupe" version of the X5 Sport Activity Vehicle with more rakish styling.

Notwithstanding its polarising looks, there has never been any argument about the X6's dynamic handling. It may be 1.7 metres tall but it corners like a lower and sleeker 5 Series sedan.
