    You would expect a lot of space inside but you’ll be disappointed. The X6 is a pure four-seater and rear accommodation – given the slope of the roofline – is not impressive. BMW has done what it can; there’s plenty of shoulder room, and the cabin roof is contoured to allow as much headroom as possible. Legroom is perfectly acceptable, but there’s no getting away from the fact that anyone of above-average height will probably feel cramped, especially given the X6’s high waistline.


    Up front, space is fantastic though. There’s enough headroom, legroom and width to make finding a comfortable position on the snug seats easy. The building blocks of the interior are basically the same as the X5, including the entire dashboard, front centre console and door trims. The cabin is a fine place to be in, thanks to its high-quality construction and well thought-out design. If we could find fault with it, it would be that it looks too much like any other BMW cabin.


    Oh, and the rearward visibility through that small rear windshield is pathetic. Reversing and parking can be a nightmare in the confines of the city. You do get parking sensors, but a reverse camera is sorely missed. It is an expensive option though. There’s surprisingly little wind and tyre noise considering the continental width of the tyres.
