Kuala
Lumpur, 29th May
2019 – BMW Malaysia today introduced the All-New BMW X4 to the
premium automaker’s extensive portfolio of Sports Activity Coupe (SAC). The
second-generation BMW X4 will be locally assembled in the country, further
demonstrating BMW Group Malaysia’s commitment to growing its investments in
Malaysia.
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.”
He added that globally, the BMW Group successfully
delivered over 200,000 units of the BMW X4 since it was unveiled in 2014 and
Malaysia had the opportunity to assemble the BMW X4 at the BMW Assembly
Facilities at the Inokom Corporation Plant in Kulim, Kedah.
A leader in the Sports Activity Coupe portfolio, the
All-New BMW X4 stands out with its coupe-like roofline, athletic curves and
distinct M Sport characteristics. Muscular, flared wheel housings accentuate
the character of a vehicle that seeks routes off the beaten path. With the
distinctive M Sport aerodynamic optics, 20” M Double-spoke wheels, and M Sport
Brakes, this Sports Activity Coupe is set to make a sporting and dynamic
statement wherever it goes.
The
eye-catching athlete.
The exterior design of the All-New BMW X4 is a case study
in muscular dynamics and commanding presence. The three-dimensional design of
the larger BMW kidney grille conveys a stronger presence than before. Equipped
with adaptive LED headlights and high beam assistant, the All-New BWW X4 also
features a long bonnet, low windscreen with acoustic glass fitted to reduce
wind noise, and a coupe-style roofline for a sporty, dynamic appearance.
The All-New BMW X4 features sportier proportions with an
increased length of 4,752mm (+81mm) and width of 1,918mm (+37mm). Its wheelbase
is now 2,864mm (+54mm) but with a lower roofline of 1,621mm (-3mm). The rear
aspect is especially distinctive. Its character is defined by an extremely
athletic shoulder area as well as the slim, wrap-around taillights with their
three-dimensional styling. The second-generation sports activity coupe also
features the M Sport brake and 20” M light alloy Double-spoke rims in style
699M with mixed tyres.
Captivating
dynamism, incredible versatility.
Powering the All-New BMW X4 is a formidable 2.0-litre
four-cylinder petrol engine. It generates a maximum power of 185kW/252hp with a
peak torque output of 350Nm. It has a top speed of 240km/h and can do the
century sprint in just 6.3 seconds. All of these are achieved with a combined
fuel consumption of 7.8 litres per 100km of travel and a combined CO2
emission of 178g/km. The engine is complemented by an 8-speed Steptronic Sport
transmission that enables faster gear changes and comes with shift paddles on
the steering wheel along with a Launch Control function.
The remarkably modified chassis provides even better
agility. The higher percentage of light-weight aluminium and high-strength
steel components has reduced the vehicle’s weight by up to 50 kilograms,
offering the best-in-class Cd value of 0.30. Its centre of gravity is now even
lower than before. Benefiting from an almost perfect 50/50 front/rear weight
distribution, the All-New BMW X4 presents superior steering precision, more
agile handling and significantly improved ride comfort.
Standard equipment for the vehicle includes xDrive
all-wheel drive, Adaptive Suspension, Variable Sport Steering, electronic
differential lock, Hill-Start Assistant, Hill Descent Control along with
Performance Control that distributes engine and braking control to the
individual wheels when turning.
Sporting
character with a modern, premium feel.
Inside, the All-New BMW X4 exudes opulence with
electroplated trim details for the controls and a larger free-standing
10.25-inch Navigation System Professional with Touch Sensitive Control Display,
complete with BMW ConnectedDrive. The all-new SAC is also equipped with a
full-colour Head-Up Display. In addition to that is a high-resolution 12.3-inch
Multifunctional Instrument Display with Black-Panel Technology. The advanced
Voice Control system has also been improved to follow instructions phrased in
natural language.
The All-New BMW X4 is now furnished with features
previously showcased in luxury sedans only. These include the exquisite
Vernasca Leather upholstery in Tacora Red and a three-zone air conditioning
system with separate controls for the rear seats. The most anticipated interior
highlight of the vehicle is the large Panorama Glass Roof that makes the cabin
appear brighter and more spacious for a luxurious ambience while on the road.
Drivers can enjoy music served by the Harman Kardon 16-Speaker Surround Sound
System.
The 4+1-seater’s cockpit is oriented towards the driver;
the slightly raised seating position and low instrument panel enable clear
visibility of the road. The newly designed sports seats with pronounced side
bolsters create a sporty ambience for the front occupants, as do the knee pads
on the centre console. With the widened wheelbase, space for the rear
passengers has increased by 27mm, providing ample legroom and knee room.
Luggage capacity has also increased by 25 litres to 525 litres and can be
expanded up to 1,430 litres by folding down the 40/20/40-split rear seat
backrests completely.
Colour offerings for the All-New BMW X4 include Alpine
White, Carbon Black, Flamenco Red and Phytonic Blue. Black Vernasca leather
upholstery is available for all exterior offerings while the new Tacora Red
Vernasca leather upholstery is exclusive to Alpine White and Carbon Black. The
All-New BMW X4 will be available at all authorised BMW dealerships nationwide
from Saturday, 1st June 2019.
The estimated retail price (on the road, without insurance,
and with BMW Group Malaysia’s latest 5 Years Unlimited Mileage Warranty, Free
Scheduled Service Programme and BMW Tyre Warranty Programme) for the All-New BMW
X4 is:
