Should I Buy the 2021 BMW X6?
If you’re looking for a vehicle that’s large enough for most families and combines traditional SUV virtues with an arguably more stylish look, the X6 could be for you. It offers plenty of luxury and tech features, as well as available all-wheel drive. The coupelike shape isn’t for everyone, however, and the design compromises cargo room.
