I like how noone is getting the joke of traveling around spending a lot of money to review this car, which is itself a waste of money in the middle of a recession.
i like how they just cutted the part of that joke out. Right before this richard hammond said that they blew to much money and had a small budget for the episode and after it he yells at clarkson ofcourse
Sure sponsored by Rang Rover, That he makes everything just NEGATIVE about BMW X6 , very unfair “ I’m here in Switzerland very deep snow and very high and almost racetracks and BMW X6 or X Sief in general performers great ;) I’m Rang rover fan and love them , but this film is just not fare ,
Australia: To check if the glove box still worked Spain: To check if it's comfortable Alps: To check if it worked in snow Hong Kong: To look for a metaphor Barbados: To compare the prices you would spend. This would be better when your not reviewing the car. xD
Shifter control is logical. I liked how all 4 tires were spinning in the grass; it means it was making the most of the traction it has, it just didn't have proper tires, which are THE most important thing off-road.
@@mynameisuzo0 Don't really know about any ''issue'', but the rear view mirror provides pretty much 0 view out of the window haha. A rear view camera is pretty much a MUST have. Hope this helps :)
The X6 doesnt really serve a purpose since BMW sells the X5. But in my opinion the X6 just looks so good and aggressive while the X5 of the same generation looks like every other SUV. I also like the fact that you dont see many of them on the road and with the N55 engine they are reliable and efficient yet powerful also. They’re also going for under 15k now.
Totally agree. I had the chance to travel in one X6 2 weeks ago, and I must say It was one of the most uncomfortable cars I´ve ever ridden. Specially at the backseats.
WoW, I have been looking for a review like this. Thank you. I am currently looking for a luxury car am considering BMW because of the warranty. I want to be different, and get the X6 instead of X5. You have given me more data to ponder on. Great Review.
love this review i was a valet for many years and it is a very accurate review, beautiful car but i thought i was the only one. great looking car and lots of power for a family car its not a great idea you can barely see kids behind and the camera is only in the higher model and that weird bmw sensor for backing up or parking is almost pointless they should have put in a camera in every model
It's funny, other reviewers complain the the forwards for up and backwards for down is wrong because racing cars always had it the other way (back = shift up)
You went all the way to the other side of the world to see if the glove box worked there, you went to Spain to test the suspension, the Alps to test it's off-road capability, china for a metaphor, and Barbados to see if a holiday was better! Top Gear UK is the best!
There was a comment a couple of months back explaining how they shot this. They have Top Gear Live shows in Australia and Hong Kong, and thus it isn't difficult to arrange for an X6 there to shoot a few scenes. Clarkson goes to Barbados for holiday every year, and once again it isn't too difficult to get a film crew there to shoot a few scenes. For the scenes shot in Europe, the TG crew basically drove the car to where ever they wanted to shoot and just shot it there.
The shifter is Initial D style; shift up = pull toward driver. The paddle shifters have each been given both shift functions so you don't have to remember where the "up" and "down" lever went while you toss the wheel. Although, I don't know how much of either of the above you would really be doing in this vehicle.
This car is: - pointless - unpratical - uncomfortable And who says cocks drives just audis, theyre wrong. Who drives THIS is the godfather of cocks and he doesnt know that audi makes better cars by a whiiiiile... I agree with topgear... The stupidest car ever made...
Did anyone else scroll down to see how many comments this video has got?! & realized it never ends! Seems X6 gets better attention on utube than real life!!!
own the car for almost 3 years nothing wrong with it, Top gear always biased to British cars. When buying a car auto journalist opinion doesn't matter your opinion as a buyer matter.
Well I wouldn't ever listen to Top Gear for an actual car review. They're meant to be funny and have a strong bias for humour purposes. They don't try to be accurate or professional.
Czech Shooter look before i pulled the trigger and buy it, i tried sport SUV like cayenne S, range rover Sport, they can't beat the driving experience it combined between aggressive look specially with 20" wheels,luxury and its a drivers car there is a connection between you the car and the road.
dom1abc1mbc You'd be surprised at how well the Evoque handles off-road conditions. Despite that, I consider most SUVs stupid, since many are built for off-road, but most customers are certainly NEVER taking it off-road.
dom1abc1mbc Off-road vehicles with 4 cylinders most likely has forced-induction. It's a common trend in most new cars as it increases power, torque and has lower fuel consumption than a larger engine with similar power figures.
MegaMaster456 are you saying that the evouqe has power ??? it has only 240 hp ... plus the cute 4 cylinder sound coming from a big car which is embarrassing
To those who don't know, I believe this was the first episode of the season where there was talk about the recession and Top Gear were making jokes about the BBC having to do cut backs so the show wouldn't be as good. That's why he keeps going to expensive places for 'research'
Actually he did say that it goes around the bends pretty well, he critique was on the ride (among all the other things). Ride and handling is not the same thing.
***** be honest with me, would you take a 90k car and drive through mud or drive on the highway at high speeds switching lanes. I know the X6 is not an off road car but it is a good sports SUV and the looks. Every driver has a different thought on cars. For me I drove many sports cars from M3's to SLS63's and for an SUV it handles pretty nice for its size.
Maybe Jeremy is a German car hater, but in this case he's got the point. BMW makes great cars, but as far as off-road driving is concerned, nobody can even come close to the legendary Range Rover.
I mean part of the concept of the range is to go offroad. Wich is nice. The x6 is just not built for offroadin if he would compare both on a track or a twisty road and the offroad both would have shined in theyr theretory

An X6 is basically a X5 with less cargo room. So why in the hell wouldn't you just buy a X5!?
Negan I own an X6 and my brother owns an X5 the X5 is for family
To find out, Jeremy went to the moon...
Tolis’s Vlogs bruh your like 12...you probs still play with hot wheels
No you really feal the difference the x6 is really sporty where the x5 is more a cruiser
Because they're blind
one of the best reviews ever
Just the fact that Jeremy Clarkson doesn't like the car, really doesn't mean it is a bad car! It really is a good car, I rode it myself!
I’m aware this comment is very old but could provide any insight into the rear view window issue as I’m considering buying one
@@mynameisuzo0 Don't really know about any ''issue'', but the rear view mirror provides pretty much 0 view out of the window haha. A rear view camera is pretty much a MUST have. Hope this helps :)
This didn't age very, BMW served old Jeremy some serious humble pie as the X6 started a Coupe SUV revolution forcing all manufacturers to copy them
Thank you Jeremy, for confirming the fact that Sydney is in fact in Australia.
"So I went to Sydney, which is in Australia"
The X6 doesnt really serve a purpose since BMW sells the X5. But in my opinion the X6 just looks so good and aggressive while the X5 of the same generation looks like every other SUV. I also like the fact that you dont see many of them on the road and with the N55 engine they are reliable and efficient yet powerful also. They’re also going for under 15k now.
The funny thing is that a modern G20 320d is faster from 0-100km/h than the X6 described in the video. By 0.2 seconds.
N55 is alright but definitely not as good as the M57 diesel engine.
I know someone that had this car since release and it spent most of it's life at the mechanic's
Rubbish. Ask me how I know
You weren't trying hard to see them all then were you
I own an evo X, proper tires on snow makes so much difference. Had summer tires after snow and I was all over the place
"To find out; I went to...."
I love Top Gear! It's funny and serious at the same time.
He went around the world to do this car review, and MAN was it WORTH IT!
doing a journey around the world just for a 8 min review. gotta love top gear.
4:11
The rover was still at a higher speed thats why it climbed to the top.
Jeremy Clarkson rants about this car. Meanwhile BMW sold 250.000 cars first generation and now sales an X4,x2 and Mercedes copied their models ....
Indeed
Yes man i totally agree with u
To find out, I went to.. the amount of money spent on this one segment of the show 😂
"Showroom tax?" What the fuck is that???
Can we just focus on how they shipped a x6 to Australia just to open the glovebox😂😂😂😂
And he went to Hong Kong to compare the X6 to a random building.
This car looks awesome!
Fucking love it's "not sure what it wants to be looks", makes it look.
It pulls it off gangbusters!!!
Totally agree. I had the chance to travel in one X6 2 weeks ago, and I must say It was one of the most uncomfortable cars I´ve ever ridden. Specially at the backseats.
Then you haven't seen Dacia 1310 from the 80's 🤣
Stop lie
This may have been the best car review Top Gear has ever produced
IMO maybe the best Top Gear Review ever! :-)

It's been 6 years, now go and get your range rover
4:10 Help!
4:12 *Range Rover casually drifts past as easily as Jeremy blew the budget*
It’s funny how they said it’s the stupidest thing bmw ever did, but it was a milestone for bmw and the beginning of a successful new category of cars.

It's not a family car it has 4 seats
Finally an episode that i have not seen!
It's funny watching this in 2019 and seeing how wrong he was about the X6, it was a huge success for BMW
7:07 .I was about to suggest that you come to Barbados...But you are a smart man.Sorry i missed you
Jeremy is the best car reviewer so far!
The best car review ever made.
4:10 *BMW starts to struggle going up the hill*
4:12 *A Range Rover just casually gets up the hill with no problem*
ROFL
They have similar hardware and software. The tires are the major difference here, along with drivers.
It's funny, other reviewers complain the the forwards for up and backwards for down is wrong because racing cars always had it the other way (back = shift up)
jeremy squeezed out 5 vacations out of this
He went from the UK to Hong Kong for a 30 second clip
The new BMW X6 now is a five-seater.
I like how he came to a stop before showing off the hill slipping ability
5:04 summer tires i guess
Duh
Nope, look closely, those are winter tires
been in the snow and ice in WYOMING and keeps me cool during the hot Alabama summers,,great vehicle
