2015 BMW X4

The 2015 BMW X4 offers the premium midsize segment its first taste of the Sports Activity Coupe. Like its larger sibling, the BMW X6, the X4 offers a unique and unmistakable presence on the road.

This newest Sports Activity Coupe reveals a dynamic personality all its own and an even more ebullient character, cutting a persuasive figure with its perfectly balanced proportions and distinctive character. The large air intakes positioned on the outer edges of the front fascia and the precise character lines in the front apron lend the X4 a more muscular appearance.

The interior of the new BMW X4 reveals a synthesis of sportiness and exclusivity. The premium quality and exclusivity of the interior are underlined by selected materials, subtle electroplated accents, a high-gloss black-panel look and aluminum trim strips in the wood paneling. The unmistakable character of the BMW X4 is further highlighted by a level of standard equipment even more generous than that found on the BMW X3. All X4s include the aforementioned power tailgate as well as a sports leather steering wheel with shift paddles, variable sport steering, Performance Control and rear Park Distance Control.

The state-of-the-art TwinPower Turbo engines available for the new BMW X4 boast High Precision Direct Injection, Double-Vanos variable camshaft control and Valvetronic fully variable valve timing.

Its 3.0-liter inline six conjures up maximum output of 300 horsepower and peak torque of 300 lb-ft at 1,200-5,000 rpm.

The 240 hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder powering the BMW X4 xDrive28i produces peak torque of 260 lb-ft. Both engines are mated to BMW's 8-speed Steptronic sport automatic transmission.
