The BMW X6 is a sports SUV that is not a modification of another model, but rather an independent vehicle. Its appearance resembles a large coupe, but with high ground clearance and a tall body. Production of the model started in 2008, and over time it has become iconic for the Bavarian brand. The car is available with engines ranging from 3 to 4.4 liters, including both gasoline and diesel versions. They are paired with 6-, 7-, and 8-speed automatic transmissions with manual shifting capability. Drive is exclusively all-wheel drive, with torque distribution between the axles in a 50:50 ratio.
