If you regard traditional 2-box SUVs as smacking of a minivan or mom-mobile, but still need some balance between people and cargo, the rear hatch and folding rear seats of the X6 provide more utility than a traditional sedan, and the higher hip point of the driver’s seat suggests enhanced control in congested environments. Finally, BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive provides enhanced control in rural environs.
If you seek an SUV for its practical application in hauling people and/or cargo, the 2012 X6 falls woefully short. Better, we think, to invest in a 3 Series wagon and, with the change, someone’s pre-owned Jeep. The X6 suffers from not enough ground clearance for going off-road, and not enough headroom for carrying four to five passengers in real comfort.
