In some markets, one in four BMW sold is now a SAV, while the BMW X1 and X3 represent 19% of global sales of BMW. SAV, in the language of BMW Sports Activity Vehicle is, ie a crossover. And statistics give us the reason for this BMW X4 Concept: apparently the public wants this type of car. The BMW X4 Concept has little concept car and is no surprise that BMW expected. Guille yesterday brought us the first images leaked ahead of time, but now it’s official and we can provide more details about this BMW X4.
Like the X6, the BMW X4 Concept tries to reconcile a fastback body shapes on the basis of an SUV. The idea for the X4 is to get attention, is not meant to be particularly useful but its mission is to be an object of design, though perhaps no longer as controversial as it was the X6 at the time, because as we have become accustomed to these silhouettes.
The dimensions are better suited to the old continent. With 4.64 meters is 24 mm longer than a BMW 3-Series Touring. Obviously it is slightly wider and taller than the BMW 3-Series, BMW X4 measured 1.91 m wide and 1.62 m high. The battle of 2,810 mm is identical to the 3 Series Touring. Remains to be seen, but we do offer greater habitability, in any case, maybe even a little less by the slope of the roof in the rear seats.
BMW does not give technical details about the car, it focuses primarily on the design. Which seems a caricature under the influence of steroids of a 3-Series 21-inch wheels do nothing but enhance that effect. BMW does not talk about his mechanics, or AWD (presumably AWD will remain, although it could well be back) and wanted to reveal photos of the interior. Unless they escape again a photo before the Shanghai Motor Show.
It’s a matter of taste, no doubt, so positively or negatively evaluate his style is risky, but it is likely that once you get the version standard (without mirrors the concept and grilles in the air intakes less showy, for example) will sell like hotcakes. By the way, you know that will be built at the Spartanburg plant (USA).
