Two rows of seats accommodate only four passengers. A hatchback provides access to the cargo space in back, but stowage room is at a premium with the rear seat in use. The X6 offers two models each with a different engine. The X6 xDrive35i includes a 300-bhp 3.0L inline-six cylinder and a 4.4L V8 rated at 400-bhp powers the X6 xDrive50i.
