The 2018 Tesla Model X is the only all-electric SUV you can buy this year. It’s swift, pleasant to travel in, and relatively practical, save for its somewhat silly doors.
Pros Only all-electric crossover you can buy Amazing performance That 17-inch touchscreen Comfortable, quiet ride
Cons Overinflated Model S looks Gimmicky rear doors Easily hits six figures Not as spacious as you’d think
Tesla updates its vehicles on an ongoing basis rather than at discrete model-year intervals. As such, there's no clear-cut "new for 2018" information. Features and trim levels are tweaked sporadically. Notable recent changes compared to 2017 Model Xs include new fold-flat second-row seating and streamlining of the Model X's optionsavailability. The 90D trim level has also been discontinued.
PROS Instant, giddying acceleration Good range for an electric vehicle Three-row seating is available Very quiet
CONS Vast windshield lets far too much sun and heat into the cabin Finicky upward-swinging rear doors impede functionality
The BMW X6 M is available in only one feature-loaded trim, so there's not much to recommend. This is a BMW, however, so there are several other option boxes you can check, and the most appealing might be the Executive package. Highlights include cooled front seats, heated rear seats, wireless smartphone charging, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a host of driver safety aids (including blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, surround-view cameras). It's a pricey package, but it's packed with details that will make the X6 M that much more enjoyable.
PROS Performance is astonishing for an SUV High-quality interior packed with features Seats are comfortable and supportive
CONS Distinctive exterior design limits rear-seat room and cargo space Sporty suspension may feel too firm for some drivers, passengers Gas pedal sometimes responds slowly in low-speed driving
The X6 M is a style item: it has sleek lines, a plush interior, and a coveted badge on the hood. It’s also stunningly quick and handles more like a sports car than anything that weighs 5000 pounds has any right to. It’s powered by a 567-hp twin-turbo V-8. An eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive are standard, and up to 100 percent of torque can be routed to either the front or rear wheels, depending on driving conditions. It’s less practical than the boxy X5 M, but it’ll turn more heads.
Pros Blistering performance, commanding seating position.
Cons Harsh ride, constricted cargo space.
The BMW X6 M is a large SUV with a coupe body that offers sports car handling with all the practicality of a big 4×4.Driving is where the X6 M not only impresses but even amazes – there is endless grip and you rarely feel the 2.3-tonne weight of the car.
Pros Astonishingly fast High-quality interior Great engine
Cons Little bit of road noise A tad firm Not cheap
