THAS FOUND its fame in the annuls of BMW sales charts across the world and its mentions in debates about the one reproachable idea of a luxury SUV, but the BMW X6 has prevailed, inspired, and is constantly out to set the standard for a segment that it owns flagship rights for. The Audi Q8 and the Porsche Cayenne Coupe could have trudged ahead but they’re always turning to the X6 to define the yardstick of what’s good and what’s allowed in a luxurious coupe-SUV mashup. And this is why we’re excited to tell you about the BMW X6, a rather handsome renegade that packs a memorably gritty punch.

If one were asked to imagine an SUV coupe a couple of decades ago, we’d have awkwardly managed to appease our meagre understanding of what should be SUV and what should be coupe in a monstrosity as such. Cut to 2007 and we saw how BMW rolled in the X6 with its own pride and pomp. The 2020 variant made no concessions in the style department. The front gets bolder with BMW’s signature grille getting rigged with optional illumination, a curvaceous top, and a broad and burly body. The rear struck us as a rather revolutionary cut that seems sleeker and higher.
