V8 goodness!

What we like:

The constant V8 rumble that accompanies every prod of the throttle and the incredible cornering performance paired with a pliant suspension for every day comfort.

What we dislike:

Rear doors don’t open wide enough for easy entry and exit.

In the back, the bench will sit three comfortably although the middle seat would be most suitable for a small child with the compromised head room. The floor is delightfully flat though there are still problems. With a door that doesn’t open quite as large as it should, getting in and out can pose a challenge for someone larger than average while parents with child seats would find it a tad harder to maneuver it in.

Boot capacity though is quite capacious at 580 litres which is surprisingly a smidgen more than what you get in the X5. Expandable to 1,525 litres, the rear seats fold completely flat which makes carrying bulky cargo possible in this luxury SUV.

Without a doubt, the X6 will appeal to the driver who yearns for more than just space and practicality. And if you can live with the slight compromises, the X6 will lavish you with plenty of sheer driving pleasure.
