BMW has launched the X4 in India with prices starting at Rs 70.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The car comes with a handful of changes. On the outside, the car comes with a significantly redesigned exterior that reinforces the off-road look and sportiness. The new front is immediately noticeable with its striking BMW kidney grille, thin headlights and redesigned front apron.
The distinctive BMW mesh kidney grille has all-black mesh-inserts and frames finished in ’M High Gloss Shadow line’. There are adaptive LED Headlamps that are now 1Omm slimmer and flatter. They are designed in M Shadow line with black accents and have Matrix function as standard. Moving below, the newly designed front apron conveys power through the M Aerodynamic package which features components in body colour in the front / rear apron and side sill covers.
The side profile is tremendously athletic and sporty. A visual black frame is created around the coupe-style windows with an M High Gloss Shadow Line. It extends from the window recess cover, along the guide rail, mid pillars, to the base of the side-view mirrors and finally the roof rail. 20" light M alloy wheels double-spoke and M Sport Brakes with red callipers display track readiness.
On the inside, the driver and front passenger enjoy the superior flair of a premium SAC with Sports Seats which impress with numerous electrical adjustment options and memory function. Rear passengers can tilt the seats backwards by up to 9° for added comfort. The modern design of the centre console, instrument panel in Sensatec, usage of M headliner anthracite and galvanic embellisher add to the cabin’s premiums. M leather steering wheel with ’Walknappa’ black with black stitching and M logo spells exclusivity.
A relaxed and harmonious lounge atmosphere is created thanks to a large electrically operated Panorama sunroof. Ambient Lighting with six selectable light designs creates an atmosphere for every mood. Features such as electroplated controls and 3-zone automatic climate control with extended options add to the overall luxurious feel. The boot has a capacity of 525 litres and can be expanded further to 1,430 litres by folding down the 40/20/40 split rear seat backrest.
