The efficiency of SUVs and the beauty of coupe models made BMW to combine the strengths of these two car classes and present a new product to the market, thus combining the two facts of beauty and efficiency. mixed and launch a long chassis with a relatively different appearance in the form of coupe cars.
The result of the efforts of the designers and engineers of the Bavarian company BMW was displayed in the form of the X6 model in 2007, but the original version of the first generation BMW X6 entered the sales list of the German company’s products in April 2008. BMW X6 was developed on the platform of the previous generation of the 5 and 6 series models of this car manufacturer, and three generations of it have reached international customers.

By presenting the X6 model, BMW introduced a new class of SUVs to the market, which, while benefiting from the characteristics of large crossover cars, such as large dimensions and a high floor height from the ground, at the end of the slope of the roof and trunk lid. The rear has the style of fastback cars and a coupe-like shape has been created for the car body. The large body of this car caused it to be nicknamed the German Bear, which was appropriate for the body shape and size of this car. In the front part, we see the lights and the front window similar to the general design principles of BMW products at that time, which with a bulky bumper has created a decisive and yet gentle form for this BMW product.
The most creative part of the design of this car is its rear end, which instead of having a relatively flat roof line, the roof of the car is connected to the trunk door by a gentle arch and has created an attractive view for the rear part of the X6. The large two-piece lights and the appropriate design of the bumper are other visual features of the rear area of the first generation BMW X6. The small rear window and high trunk door limit the driver’s view of the back of the car, although the presence of a rear camera will solve this problem to a large extent.
If you have seen the cabin of other contemporary BMW products with the first generation X6, after being in the cabin of this car, you will quickly find that its design style is similar to the general form of interior design of other BMW products. Massive and arched dashboard, steering wheel The three branches decorated with the BMW logo, the odometer panel with analog indicators, as well as the presence of a large display in the area above the ventilation vents of the middle console of the dashboard, are among the constant features of BMW’s interior design during the first decade of the 21st century.
The shape of the seats is designed in accordance with the principles of ergonomics and covers the body of the passengers well. The material of the dashboard and seats are also of high quality and can easily meet the expectations. It is also expected from a car of this size that the space provide a spacious and comfortable interior for the passengers, which has happened in practice, but due to the high slope of the roof line at the rear end of the car, we will see the limitation of head space for tall passengers in the second row of BMW X6 seats. .
BMX 6 is one of the most fully optioned cars of its time in terms of comfort equipment, and it benefits from a lot of features. Smart cruise control, hill hold control, traction and stability control, smart suspension, parking sensors, It is equipped with lane changing safety radar, electric parking brake, automatic high beam, automatic light height adjustment, turning light at the corner, speed sensitive leather steering wheel with shifter pedal and heater, 10 or 16 speaker audio system with amplifier and handsfree.
Also, 8-inch touchscreen display with controller, rear row monitor, navigation, N, 360-degree rear and side cameras, Bluetooth, six airbags, keyless entry, button lock, automatic cabin ventilation with four driver and passenger seat settings. with settings of 10 electric modes in addition to adjusting the waist, leather sandal cover, electric box, electrochromic middle mirror, side mirrors with electric adjustment and heater.
As a German luxury car, BMW X6 benefits from its strengths such as high build quality, spacious cabin, powerful engines, good technical performance and agile acceleration, especially in the 8-cylinder version. On the other hand, things like high fuel consumption, especially in the city, high maintenance cost, limited head space in the back row, and sensitivity of the engine to low-quality gasoline are among the weak points of this car.
