The BMW X6 Overview

In one sense, as the defining member of a newclass, BMW's X6 Sports Activity Coupe has no direct competitors.  There are, of course, a number of vehicles that compete with this unique vehicle based on price, performance or luxury appointments.  How these competitors compare on a point-by-point basis, however, underscores not just the X6's uniqueness, but it's overall strenghts in each of these three categories.  Then add to that something none of them can offer- the opportunity to own the frst of an exciting new class of vehicles!

As the world's first Sports Activity Coupe's, the X6 xDrive35i and X6 xDrive50i not only represent an all-new class, they also introduce Dynamic Performance Control, the latest enhancement of BMW's standard setting xDrive.  The perfect complement to BMW's all-wheel drive system, Dynamic Performance Control gives the X6 unprecedented chassis response and handling.  BMW's superlative brake and steering are second to none.  Couple these capabilities with a pair of Twin-Turbo, direct fuel injected engines - inline- 6 or V-8 - and the X6 sets performance and handling standards that other competitors will take years to match.

The Land Rover Range Rover Sport Overview

The classically British Range Rover Sport retains a great deal of its high-end appeal, with plush interior, upright, square-jawed looks and dual-range 4-wheel-drive capability.  Though not as luxurious as the Flagship Range Rover, the LR3-based sport includes full leather interior, DVD navigation and a host of luxury and convenience trappings as standard.

What this Rover is designed as, however, is a sporting vehicle, so it also boasts 19-inch wheels, firmer suspension and large-diameter brakes with optional Brembo 4-piston calipers.  Despite the sport trappings, however, the Range Rover Sport(and its high-performance Supercharged sibling) still rely on a chassis designed primarily for hard-core off-road use.

The 4.4-liter DOHC V-8 puts 300-hp through a 8-speed automatic, but it's thirsty - EPA mileage figures are 12 mpg city/18 highway.  And with an 8.2 second 0-60 time, the Sport's straight-line performance leaves much to be desired.  The overall vehicle reflects the Rover's roots as an off-road vehicle that's been adapted to sporting use, rather than a true, ground-up performance vehicle like the X6 xDrive351.

"Obscure the lower third of the X6, and it could easily pass as some hot new sport coupe. But once those

muscular fenders and 20-inch rims come into view, it's clear this vehicle is something completely different." - Motor Trend
