The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
8.4 Read Our Full Review	8.4 Read Our Full Review
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2009 BMW X5 is one of the better-handling utility vehicles of any shape, and a newly available diesel makes it even more appealing, but its styling and interior fail to wow.	A novel idea (unless you know the old AMC Eagle), the 2009 BMW X6 strikes us as a good-looking car flawed by its mismatched personalities.
TCC Likes
Light steering Sporty handling Expanded utility	Softly drawn shape -- above the shoulders Comfortable driver and front passenger seats Paddle-shifting automatic gearbox
TCC Dislikes
iDrive system Expensive tariff Needs fresher styling	Mismatched styling, top to bottom Thirst for premium fuel Stinging pricetag, especially for V-8 versions
