The?2018 BMW X6 xDrive35i Sport Utility 4D?(F16 generation) represents the premier mid-size Sports Activity Coupe (SAC), combining the commanding ride height and muscular proportions of an SUV with a sweeping coupe roofline. Built on a performance-tuned unibody chassis with optimal 50/50 front-to-rear weight distribution, the X6 xDrive35i delivers confident all-weather capability and grand touring comfort. Under the sculpted aluminum hood sits BMW’s acclaimed?3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo DOHC 24-valve Inline 6-cylinder engine?(N55 engine code) featuring a twin-scroll turbocharger, High Precision Direct Injection, VALVETRONIC fully variable valve control, and Double-VANOS variable camshaft timing. This mechanical core generates?300 horsepower?at 5,800 RPM and?300 lb-ft of torque?available early across a broad powerband from 1,200 to 5,000 RPM. Power is routed through an?8-speed Sport Automatic transmission?with Sport and Manual shift modes, steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters, and Launch Control. Drive torque is actively managed by BMW’s?xDrive Intelligent All-Wheel Drive system, which continuously adjusts power distribution between the front and rear axles. Supported by a double-wishbone front suspension, multi-link rear axle, electric power steering with Servotronic, and 4-wheel ventilated disc brakes with ABS, the 4,696-lb X6 xDrive35i accelerates from?0 to 60 MPH in 6.0 secondswith an electronically limited top track speed of?130 MPH?(150 MPH with performance tires).

The vehicle maintains an aggressive, planted stance rolling on standard?19-inch Y-spoke light alloy wheels?(Style 594) wrapped in all-season run-flat tires (with 20-inch and 21-inch wheels widely optioned on M Sport or xLine packages). Inside, the driver-centric cabin welcomes up to five occupants into a luxury environment draped in? Dakota Leather seating upholstery?with Poplar wood or aluminum interior trim inlays. Interior appointments include 14-way power heated front seats with 4-way power lumbar and 2-position driver memory, leather-wrapped multifunction sport steering wheel,? Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control, dynamic ambient cabin lighting, rain-sensing windshield wipers, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and proximity Comfort Access keyless entry.

Harman Kardon? Surround Sound System?or 16-speaker 1,200-watt? Bang & Olufsen? High-End Surround Sound System). Practicality and spatial utility remain balanced within its 115.5-inch wheelbase platform. Opening the power liftgate reveals?20.5 cubic feet of cargo space?behind the rear seats. Folding the 40/20/40 split-folding rear seatbacks flat expands total utility capacity to?53.9 cubic feet of maximum flat cargo volume, accommodating travel bags or sports equipment.
