The 2009 BMW X6 there are two trim choices for consumer BMW X6 AWD 4dr and AWD 4dr, and the pricing of BMW X6 range MSRP: $55,900 - $66,650 and Invoice: $51,430 - $61,320. The 2009 BMW X6 is largely unchanged following its introduction for the 2008 model year. X6 is slightly larger than BMW's 5-Series midsize cars, and features a raised suspension similar to the company's X5 midsize SUV. BMW X6 seats four and offers two models, each with a twin-turbocharged engine and standard all-wheel drive. The xDrive35i has a 300-hp 3.0-liter 6-cylinder, and the xDrive50i has a 400-hp turbocharged 4.4-liter V8. A 6-speed automatic is the sole transmission and it includes steering wheel paddles for manual gear changes. A gas/electric hybrid version, originally slated for a 2009 introduction, has been pushed back to model-year 2010. Standard on all X6 models is BMW's new Dynamic Performance Control, which works with the AWD system to distribute torque between the individual rear wheels. The system is designed to improve steering feel and handling response. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain side airbags, and front side airbags. Standard on all is BMW's iDrive control system, which uses a console knob to control entertainment, navigation, communication, and climate functions. Optional is BMW's Active Steering, which is designed to quicken low-speed steering response.

In the BMW X6, the Consumer Guide Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Premium Midsize SUVs are similar in size and construction to Midsize SUVs. Most, in fact, are gilded versions of Midsize SUVs; though a few are exclusive upscale designs.

Our Best Buys include the Acura MDX, Buick Enclave, and Lexus RX. Our Recommended pick is the Mercedes-Benz M-Class.

New or significantly redesigned models include the Infiniti FX and Mercedes-Benz M-Class. The Chrysler Aspen adds a gas/electric hybrid model, and the Mercedes-Benz M-Class and R-Class add a new diesel powerplant, as does the Volkswagen Touareg 2.
