BMW X6
The X6 is widely credited with kick-starting the coupe-like SUV trend back in 2009. Now in its third generation, it receives a mid-cycle update for 2024, similar to the X5. Engine selection is identical to that of the X5, except for the plug-in hybrid system which is not available in the X6. Performance and handling help this model stand out, particularly in M Competition trim. Ride quality can be a problem on rough pavement, mind you.
