There’s an all-new BMW X4 in town and BMW Malaysia launched it last night during their annual ‘buka puasa’ event with the Malaysian media members. The new Sports Activity Coupe (SAC) more specifically known as the BMW X4 xDrive30i M Sport now comes with improved driving dynamics, reworked design, and updated technology for a better overall driving experience.
Mr. Harald Hoelzl, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia said, “The BMW X4 broke new ground when it was first introduced in 2014 as a Sports Activity Coupe. Its forward-thinking design challenged the status quo with strength and versatility capable of conquering every terrain. With powerful new proportions and increased agility, the All-New BMW X4 will continue to break boundaries and deliver the thrills of driving a BMW.”
The second-generation BMW X4 is all about flair and muscles thanks to a few exterior features that makes it a true Sports Activity Coupe. We’re talking coupe-like roofline, athletic curves, distinct M Sport characteristics, muscular flared wheel housings with those 20-inch M Double-spoke wheels, and M Sport Brakes, plus many more.
The first thing that any BMW fan will notice is its larger three-dimensional designed signature kidney grille which gives a much more commanding façade. The front end is further highlighted with adaptive LED headlights with high beam assistant, long bonnet, low windscreen, and an acoustic glass for better performance dynamics and increased driving comfort.
The new BMW X4 is not only sportier in looks but also in performance where it is now longer and wider to accommodate its new 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. This baby is able to produce 252hp and 350Nm of torque which translates to 0-100km/h in 6.3 seconds and a top speed of 240km/h.
All of its power is controlled via an eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission which not only offers faster gear changes but also a low fuel consumption rate of 7.8-litres/100km. There’s also the very exciting Launch Control feature. Other exciting features include:
- xDrive all-wheel drive
- Adaptive Suspension
- Variable Sport Steering
- Electronic differential lock
- Hill-Start Assistant
- Hill Descent Control along with Performance Control
Step inside the cabin and one will quickly find themselves in BMW’s signature lavish interior equipped with the latest driving gizmos. A free-standing 10.25-inch Navigation System Professional with Touch Sensitive Control Display, complete with BMW ConnectedDrive offers the latest tech for a better driving experience.
Driving assistance is also enhanced with a full-colour Head-Up Display, 12.3-inch Multifunctional Instrument Display with Black-Panel Technology, and an advanced Voice Control system which has been improved to accommodate a more natural language.
