BMW Unveils The New X4 Concept

The BMW X4 concept hit the scene yesterday as photos of this crossover, which we are likely to see at the Shanghai Motorshow, leaked on the internet. It’s becoming a trend to leak photos of upcoming cars and according to me; it spoils the surprise of any auto-show. But then again we always knew BMW was working on it, just that they described it as a ‘Sports Activity’ coupe.

As expected, the design of the X4 merges BMW's latest styling language with the coupe-like roofline of the larger X6 while maintaining a style-focused alternative to the midsized X3. The X4 shares the X3’s platform and features the same connected grille-to-headlights design which we saw in the new 3 series.

It sits on what look like 21-inch alloy wheels while at the rear we see tail lamps and a bumper inspired by the 4 Series Coupe. The X4 will not only share its platform with the BMW X3 but will also share the powertrain options.

So expect it to come with a 2.0-liter 240bhp turbocharged engine and a 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo engine that pumps about 306bhp. Ofcourse the production version will not be different from this concept and we expect to see it hit the market soon.
