BMW’s X6, caught here virtually disguised before arriving in concept form on BMW’s stand at the Frankfurt motor show, ushers in a new motoring acronym. In BMW talk it’s an SAC – that’s Sports Activity Coupe. The sleek and low four-seater – sleek and low for an off-roader, that is – is Munich’s most driver-oriented take on the off-roader yet, to the extent that the word ‘coupe’ keeps cropping up in their X6 lexicon.
Underpinned by modified X5 architecture – the two cars share around 70 percent commonality means the same wheelbase, front and rear track dimensions and double wishbones at each corner. The X6 promises to step into the gap between sports utility and sports car.
