Thats a silly question you ask

im not saying it doesn't make sense. I just want to know if it is indeed to compete with R class of mercades. At first, i thought the x6 was a crossover. Probably will be.. 6 passenger hence x6. |

BMW is calling the X6 an SAC - Sports Activity Coupe. It's going to be a crossover, but not an SUV minivan crossover, but rather a SUV Coupe croseover. It will be longer, wider, and lower than the X5. It will be faster than the X5 and handle much better. Instead of 7 seats it will only have four. It's made for people who like the large road presence, carrying room and height of an SUV but want uncompromised BMW coupe performance - this thing will be a beast and do very well IMO. (as long as it looks as good as it performs... the photochops are looking iffy)

Crossovers are starting to pick up pace at least a bit, while the minivan is declining. Just because you're not too fond of the X6, doesn't mean there isn't a demographic that finds it resourceful.

Another thing I'm confused about is why car makers are calling these vehicles Coupés, when they certainly are not. Coupé-ish maybe, but >2doors = not a Coupé. |

According to my friend ad the Performance Center the x6 will be an unbelievable vehicle. A SUV that is faster than any other BMW on the market currently. A TT V8 based onthe 335i TT with over 500HP and 650TQ. This will be the benchmark for all future Bimmers so watch it carefully.
PLUS... the M version will be over 650HP and 800TQ... according to my brief phone conversation.

The 5.0 litre V10 (S85BO1)engine will get 10% increase in displacement. The 800 Torque is not correct neither is the 650 HP number. |

It was again BMW that created the segment called SUV.
Now they're creating the SUC. Get it? There is no need to ask why, in my opinion of course =) And I agree with your Rick hunter. Coupe's have 2 doors, not 4. But I guess they name it as coupe because of the backk design that narrows down. Plus the windows dont have frames, which is a coupe thing.

absolutely spot on... just like the CLS from merc, they keep calling it a luxury coupe but 4 doors dont make a coupe... who are they fooling ?? and the x6 doesnt look like a coupe at all. it looks like a 4 door sedan with a high ride height...

BMW "Invented" the Crossover Performance Coupe'
In 2009 - everybody thought BMW was crazy. Now, look at all the copycats:
1) Tesla Model X 2) Mercedes-Benz GLE63s AMG 3) Porsche Cayenne Turbo Coupe 4) Jaguar F-Pace 5) Maserati Levante 6) Lamborghini Urus 7) Audi Q5 Sportbak 8) Infiniti QX55 9) Cupra Formentor
