BMW X6
The BMW X6 will always be a niche choice. However, for buyers wanting the commanding driving position and traction of a 4x4, but the striking looks of a coupe, the X6 is perfect. It's one of the best 4x4s to drive on the road that money car buy. At the top of the range, the X6M is incredibly fast but expensive, so our pick is the entry-level diesel. Front seat passengers will appreciate a high quality cabin and a great view of the road. The X6 is a pure four-seater with two individual seats in the back. Passengers seated there will suffer from reduced headroom, thanks to the sloping roof.

Part coupé, part 4x4, the monstrous BMW X6 has no problems turning heads thanks to its arcing roofline and distinctive profile. It's a radical looking machine, but is surprisingly comfortable and rewarding to drive. There's impressive technology under the skin too, with an eight-speed gearbox offered as standard and a range of efficient petrol and diesel engines.
