Now in its third generation, a round of applause seems to be in order for BMW when it comes to the X6. Despite a frosty response from some quarters, the original BMW X6 – which introduced the coupe-SUV niche we know so well today – wasn’t an insane idea after all. The all-new model aims to do what the previous two did: provide a more evocative alternative to the X5. The muscular redesign seems to be a success, with all of the brashness and none of the beauty that has defined every X6 before it. There’s an updated range of superb powertrains, topped by the V8-powered M50i, which pumps out 523 horsepower. All models are seriously quick and the X6 does all it can to disguise its weight and encourage you to drive it with purpose. Inside, BMW’s new-generation dashboard design will be familiar as it’s virtually identical to the one in the X5, which means understated but brilliantly made. With its bold design, fresh tech, and powerful engines, the new X6 is ready for a brawl with the Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupe.
