X6 First Details Emerge On BMWs Next X6


The BMW X6 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV by German automaker BMW. The BMW X6 is the originator of the sports activity coupé (SAC), referencing its sloping rear roof design. It combines the attributes of an SUV (high ground clearance, all-wheel drive and all-weather ability, large wheels and tires) with the stance of a coupé (styling featuring a sloping roof).

Am I blind,or 80% is the SAME CAR...


Hi kiki.

Not really my business but in case you were unaware, I noticed that you disliked EnI post on the previous page. I assume you dislike the design direction of the new X6 and not the fact that EnI posted the latest spy photo's (which is really a service to the community).

BTW, based on what I have seen, I prefer the old style.
 
Even when the brother got the last/current X6 I wasn't a fan of it's design and I doubt this opinion will change with the new one based of these spy shots. Just hope the bloody thing drives nicer.

What did you expect from Mk2? A total redesign. No way. It's evolution. Evolution IS (0% of the old stuff, and 20% ... and so one from one generation to another. Revolution? I doubt it will happen. Expect more or less sever evolution.
 
It's basically F15 X5's nose ... slightly modified for a bit more aggressive look. Same goes for the interior - some sporty touches are added here and there. Minor things though.

Regarding X4 ... it will share the headlight design with the X3 LCI. The cluster shape will be identical to the one of X4 Concept - yet the graphics will be more conventional. Also the X4 nose will be slightly modified X3 LCI's nose - to add a bit more aggression to the looks. Interior will be an upgraded X3 interior (it will also be featured in X3 LCI).

X6 & X4 will share the basic shape / silhouette, similar rear design & the broken shoulder line above the rear wheel arch. Due to smaller dimensions the X4 looks more compact & intense, while X6 looks more elegant & upscale (cleaner less complicated lines), stretched yet still bulky due to bigger dimensions - and therefore oozing more presence. It also looks more aggressive due to pointy shark nose tip which X3/X4 does lack.

So, X4 will indeed be sort of mini X6. And that's the whole point: offering a more affordable SAC. It's actually a product for those who are suckers for SACs but can't afford (or don't need such big vehicle) an X6.
Here is a twofer shot...F16 X6 50i Front (White) F16 X6 35i Rear (Brown).... to EnI's point...from certain angles... you really can see the "pointy shark nose on the 2nd Gen X6...I like that look......does sharpen up the front fascia quite a bit. Thanks. PalBay

Thanks Palbay!!!
Looks great in the first shot, a bit awkward in the second (white) shot…

Is it me, or do I see an X4 style split character line???
 
Looks fab! can't wait:)

Planting season has kicked-off with a BANG! Here in SA, I am too busy during the day and too tired at night to really give anything other than work/rest a chance. Our company has been doubling target-turnover per day since November started. Luckily my holidays start 2nd week in December:cool:

You can holiday in GCF.
 
I don't know, Scottie. The front looks so blunt. It sort of works on X5, but shouldn't the X6 be more, uhm, smooth?!?
 
A man who attended the Model year 2014 Sneak Preview said this render is 98% close to the real thing and the front is identical to that of X5,so is interior.

If that is true then God helps BMW because it has completely lost the plot with the SACs... I mean, I know you have to lower your costs as a company, but selling a car which is IDENTICAL to the X5, with the exception of the roof shape, is simply a bad idea. At least the X4 keeps a different rear end from the X3.

I don´t like the new X5 either, but it looks much better than this one.
