2009 BMW X6

When you invent a market segment, as BMW did with the Sports Activity Vehicle––a curious mix of SUV attributes with a premium placed on driving pleasure––you have an obligation of sorts to advance and evolve that segment, if you want to remain its leader. With the 2009 BMW X6, the company has done just that. Called a sports activity coupe, the X6 brings more than just a distinctive new profile to market. The vehicle also introduces an array of new technologies that will undoubtedly filter through the rest of the BMW lineup.
