latest interior shots reveal a lot of what's hiding behind the X6 prototypes' protective exoskeletons. These new images provide some insight into the true slope of the coupe-like roofline, and the headroom penalties that result. It's even possible to see some of the terminus of the greenhouse slope, as it reaches back to the rear pillar's Hoffmeister kink. It appears that the X6's form-over-function profile will take a serious chunk out of the X6's headroom and cargo capacity, but reports that the X6 will be a pure four-seater with rear bucket seats seem to be erroneous. The X6 appears to offer three-across rear- seating, with the usual fold-down center armrest.
Spies did also manage a slight shot of the dashboard, but the flailing engineer did his best to cover the dash (which was already covered with a custom-cut camouflage cover).
Upon close-up inspection of the prototype, the camouflage sits out about 15cm farther than the real car which lies beneath. The impression is of a vehicle that is actually downsized from the X5 that spawned it.
Deliveries of the new model are expected to begin next year, BMW is already making preparations at its Spartanburg, South Carolina plant to build as many as 40,000 units annually.
