Overview

The BMW X6 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV by German automaker BMW. It originated the sports activity coupé (SAC) concept with its sloping rear roof design, combining SUV attributes like high ground clearance and all-wheel drive with the styling of a coupé. Built in BMW's North American plant in Greer, South Carolina alongside the BMW X5, it shares the same platform as the latter. The first generation was released for sale in April 2008 for the 2008 model year.
