BMW X6 is nearly identical to that of the X5, at least up front. The gauges, shift lever and center console are the same in appearance and quality in both models. The X6 gets standard leather upholstery and a sport steering wheel, as well as luxurious little touches such as cushions on either side of the center console to help protect knees. It is the rear passengers, however, who will bear the brunt of the X6's sweeping profile. A large center console restricts the backseat to two passengers, and the lower roof line knocks headroom down about 2 inches, which, for very tall passengers, turns the roof into a headrest. Legroom is adequate, but still feels somewhat cramped compared to the X5. That said, the seating is comfortable and supportive and measures up to the quality of other BMWs. Cargo space is sufficient at 60 cubic feet with the split rear seats folded down, but keep in mind that the X5 offers nearly 75 cubic feet by comparison. is nearly identical to that of the X5, at least up front.
