BMW Group Malaysia Introduces ALL NEW X4 SUV Priced From RM438,000
BMW has introduced the all-new BMW X4 as the first ever Sports Activity Coupé in the premium compact crossover segment. The all-new BMW X4 combines hallmark BMW X features, an unmistakable coupé character, a distinctive emotive design, and supreme dynamic ability with excellent driving comfort and low fuel consumption.
Introduced in the form of the BMW X4 xDrive28i and the BMW X4 xDrive28i M Sport , the dynamic pedigree of the all-new BMW X4 is underlined by a cutting-edge high-performance engine, the xDrive all-wheel-drive system and an exclusive spread of standard equipment features such as Performance Control and Variable Sport Steering as well as a comprehensive range of BMW ConnectedDrive Driver Assistance Systems, Services and Apps.
Design: A New Dimension in Dynamic Presence
The all-new BMW X4 carries a compelling and unmistakable presence on the road. While it may be based on the technical blueprint of the BMW X3, its design features mark a clear differentiation from the latter to exude an extrovert, standalone and deliberately powerful and elegant coupé design. At 4,671mm in length and 1,624mm in height, the all-new BMW X4 stands 14mm longer and 36mm lower to the ground than the BMW X3. This cuts perfectly balanced proportions to emphasise the car’s good roadholding.
Presenting a muscular and agile front design, the all-new BMW X4 features large air intakes positioned on the outer edge of the car’s front end as well as precise character lines in the front apron. This allows the car to appear visually lower with a centre of gravity closer to the road, further signalling the all-new BMW X4’s sharper dynamics. The effect is further enhanced by light bands around the outer edges of the twin headlights which are slightly flattened at the top and back to accentuate a broader appearance. Its distinctive radiator grille also makes for the all-new BMW X4’s sporting potential.
In profile, the all-new BMW X4 also clearly sets itself apart by carrying a low coupé-style roofline which reaches its highest point over the front seats, reflecting the traditional driver focus of BMW cars, before dropping gently down towards the trailing edge of the tailgate. Further underlining the sporting coupé character of the all-new BMW X4 is the signature swage line which runs along the flanks of the car and for the first time, is split into two. The first section rises smoothly from the front wheel arches to the rear door handles, while the second section accentuates the powerful sculpting of the rear wings.
The xLine equipment package which arrives as a standard option gives the all-new BMW X4 owners the chance to shine an even brighter spotlight on the BMW X character of the car. With 19-inch light alloy wheels and a wealth of aluminium details, the xLine equipment package also features door sill finishers with the BMW xLine wordmark, seats with elegant leather upholstery in Black, Mocha and Ivory White with embossed xLine wordmark, interior trims in Dark Copper, and a stainless steel loading sill – all of which come together to emphasise the sophistication of the car’s interior as well as enhance the elegance of the all-new BMW X4.
Further to this, customers can also select the M Sport package at an additional RM 30,000 to lend an even greater degree of individuality to the extrovert looks of the all-new BMW X4. Geared towards especially sporty BMW X4 drivers, the M Sport package features the M Aerodynamics package, BMW Individual Shadow Line in high-gloss Black, as well as 19-inch M light alloy wheels with mixed tyres and attractive paint finishes which include the exclusive Carbon Black metallic shade. Internally, the M Sport package includes leather sport seats for the driver and front passenger, BMW Individual headliners in Anthacite, and the M leather steering wheel with multifunction buttons to further convey the sporting ambience of the all-new BMW X4.
Powertrain: Powerful Engine for Excellent Performance
The first sports activity coupé in the premium compact crossover segment also underlines its leadership credentials when it comes to powertrains. The state-of-the-art petrol engine available for the all-new BMW X4, which joins forces with award-winning BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, provides the high-revving character for which BMW is renowned, along with excellent power delivery, superb refinement and impressive efficiency.
Equipped with a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, the all-new BMW X4 xDrive28i delivers an astounding output of 180kW/245hp and teams up with an eight-speed Steptronic transmission featured as standard to deliver a peak torque of 350Nm and an acceleration time of 0-100km/h in just 6.4 seconds. These figures are combined with an average fuel consumption reading of 7.3l/100km and CO2 emissions level of 169g/km.
While delivering such an impressive performance, BMW has also ensured that the all-new BMW X4 keeps to its commitment of driving-pleasure-to-fuel-consumption ratio through innovative BMW EfficientDynamics features. This includes the ECO PRO mode with ECO PRO Route which offers the ability to modify the overall character of the car for more fuel savings. Meanwhile, the ECO PRO mode’s coasting function works to lower even more fuel consumption by uncoupling the engine of the all-new BMW X4 from the drivetrain at speeds between 50 and 160km/h whenever no pressure is applied to the accelerator pedal.
The incomparable driving pleasure and supreme agility of the all-new BMW X4 is further emphasized with the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system and Performance Control, both featured as standard to provide optimal traction and exceptional cornering ability under all conditions. By using engine output management, Performance Control functions to perform deliberate braking of the inner wheels in a bend to eliminate any tendency of understeering.
Other engineering highlights in the all-new BMW X4 include a double-joint front axle for an optimal synthesis of ride comfort and dynamism as well as a five-link rear suspension for perfect directional stability and excellent steering characteristics. Additionally, the all-new BMW X4 is also equipped with Variable Sport Steering which is featured as standard to further adapt the steering angle of the front wheels to the driving situation. This allows easier manoeuvring as well as more agility in bends for greater safety at high speeds. As for those who prefer an even sportier style of driving, owners of the all-new BMW X4 can simply activate Dynamic Traction Control to increase the amount of wheel slip permitted to experience better propulsion on loose terrain.
Interior: Sporty and Exclusive, Safe and Well-Informed
The interior of the all-new BMW X4 reveals a harmonious synthesis of sportiness, exclusivity and high-level functionality. Every control element is angled towards the driver for optimal ergonomics and with an elevated seating position, the driver and passengers of the all-new BMW X4 will see a more sporting seating experience as well as comfortable headroom in the rear despite the car’s lower roofline. The classical sports coupé sensation is then further reinforced by the rear seat bench, which comes with two elegant coupé-style individual seats which provide enough room for up to three passengers.
Equally impressive is the load capacity of the all-new BMW X4 from 500 to 1,400 litres which can be used in a variety of ways with the standard 40:20:40 split rear backrest, allowing the car to achieve greater versatility. Everyday usability is further enhanced by the standard-fitted automatically opening tailgate which when combined with comfort access system allows for even more convenience.
Subsequently, the all-new BMW X4 sets its mark as the leader in intelligent in-car connectivity with a set of comprehensive BMW ConnectedDrive features comprising of a plethora of Driver Assistance systems and Services & Apps. This includes Navigation System Professional and BMW Apps which enable convenient in-car use of smartphone apps such as AUPEO! Internet radio and access to music platforms such as Deezer. For an elevated infotainment level, owners can also opt to fit their all-new BMW X4 with a high resolution, full colour head-up display and Harman Kardon Surround Sound System by upgrading to the optional M Sport package.
Colours available for the all-new BMW X4 include Alpine White, Black Sapphire, Sophisto Grey and Sparkling Brown.
