BMW X4

The X4 was BMW India’s first launch of 2019. Locally produced at BMW Group Plant Chennai, the all-new BMW X4 will be available in diesel and petrol variants. The all-new BMW X4 is available in two diesel variants - the BMW X4 xDrive20d M Sport X and the BMW X4 xDrive30d M Sport X and in one petrol variant - the BMW X4 xDrive30i M Sport X, all of which are locally produced.

The all-new 2018 BMW X4 comes with a very distinctive coupe-like roofline and borrows cues from the new generation X3, the model on which it is based on.The X4 won’t have a direct rival in the Indian market but it’s likely to compete against the Range Rover Evoque, Audi Q5 and the Mercedes-Benz GLC in the segment.

The new BMW X4 is based on the all-new CLAR platform from the company. The new architecture that was introduced with the 7 Series, is now seen on most new BMW models and has resulted in weight savings of nearly 50 kg.
