Nothing can slow you down, things are going so smoo… TRAFFIC JAM! Oh crumbs, we didn’t see that coming. No climbing into an SUV or dropping into a low slung car errands are a breeze when you can slide in and out of the X6 so easily. Ingress and egress from the vehicle is effortless, the seat height is near standing position. “Don’t let its size and weight fool you – this is one nimble SAV.”Īs a hectic day in the city wears on, the high ride height of the X6 suddenly makes sense. Suddenly the large footprint and honking shoulders of the X6 are shrunk to near compact car sizing. Blind spots are under the careful supervision of parking assist detectors as you approach an object in drive or reverse, audible alerts help you to maneuver within a safe distance. Difficult parking maneuvers no longer exist as the trajectory lines on the backup display move with steering input – allowing you to see where the X6 will be if driven in reverse at a given steering angle. Once underway, features such as a rear backup camera and park distance control keep paint on the body, and money in your wallet. Making a quick stop at the corner store? Simply place one fingertip on the exterior handle, and the doors are locked – keys never leave the linty-depths of your pocket. Sliding into the supportive driver’s seat, you are now one button away from 480 hp. Approaching the X6 from a distance, it is aware of your proximity and all doors can be unlocked with the touch of a door handle. Technology has advanced to a level that allows unprecedented comfort and convenience. Here’s how the ActiveHybrid X6 measures up.
