Just wondering what would be the comments if the above photos is a new P1 models. I believe the expert comments would come fast & furious + vicious.
Most probably will be something like this :
1) Not creative – copy version of gen-2
2) Fugly
3) Roof too low for Malaysian !!!!
4) Why can’t design like those BMW , Japs , Cont cars
5) Why exhaust no longer in the center.
6) Rear light boring….

Key word = typical western admirer.

Sorry to put this way, but I feel it’s silly to keep comparing one car’s design to the other without a deeper look into a car’s purpose.

All car makers inevitably have design directions that follows on what’s trendy and the result usually is a ‘samey’ design just like the X6. Or the Gen.2 for that matter,which was accused of having cues of the Renault Megane (albeit not the current model).

The C-pillar slope is what the industry calls a ‘coupe’ profile, so it’s not the sole property of any car design work of any car maker.

And, I very much doubt that BMW will make the mistake of the Gen.2 and carve out a cabin space less accomodating for 90 percentile of the X6 buyer’s profile.

I’m sure BMW will keep those revolutionary sculptures coming for us to enjoy!

looks as its priority, but still within its allowable or sufficient measurement of average rear occupancy, gen 2 as well

… It’s an SUV, probably much bigger to begin with than the malaysian hatchbacks. Thus, a sloping roofline on a bigger car will accomodate large people more easily.

Haha..follow Gen 2 specially rear headroom. Even mat salleh/BMW designed the rear headroom with this height how can malaysian claim that Gen2 not suit to them??
—————————————————-
BMW nvr learnt from the 1-series. As Paul has put it, it’s better off called a 2+2 rather than a 5-door hatchback. The rear seats are completely useless for human. They’re more for ur pet hamster. Or fly.

Hopefully it doesnâ€™t turn out like Ssangyong Actyon Coupe SUV
Ugly

U still cannot read Bangle’s design language? NONE of his creations ever turned up to be a work of art, they’re either boring, plain, or ugly, I swear to God, he watched too much Korean dramas when designing for new BMW models.

It seems that BMW has covered almost every automotive segment in the market. Only two more territory left for them yet to sale, which is to compete with the full sized SUV like the Range Rover, Audi Q7 & Merc GL class, & MPV segment.

Nice, I’ve seen many 4x4s with coupe rooflines before, but all those remained as concepts, these ones will be going into production.

Seriously, when people are willing to part with so much moolah for these cars, practicality’s probably the least of their concern, limited headroom not a problem hehe. When’s the last time you actually saw a X3 or X5 with full passenger load anyway?
