It operates in combination with a standard Performance Control function, which provides a torque-vectoring effect by varying the amount of drive sent to each individual rear wheel. The automatic gearbox is allied to the latest version of BMW’s electronically controlled xDrive fourwheel-drive system, which is programmed to apportion drive with a rear-wheel bias. It has Steptronic control, with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles on all but the xDrive20i and xDrive20d. When they are all folded, the car has a cargo capacity of 1430 litres.Īs with the X3, the X4 comes as standard with an eight-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox. An optional cargo function allows the back rests of the standard 40/20/40 folding rear seats to be adjusted individually. The new X4’s longer wheelbase adds 27mm of rear leg room over the old car and boot capacity has increased by 25 litres to 525 litres. BMW claims 31.4mpg fuel economy and CO2 emissions of 209g/km. It matches its predecessor by producing 360bhp but has an extra 25lb ft of torque (at 369lb ft) and can achieve 0-62mph in 4.8sec on its way to a governed top speed of 155mph. The M Performance models will start with the M40i, which runs the latest evolution of BMW’s turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine. The 2.0-litre diesel options offer 190bhp (xDrive20d), which has a claimed combined average of 52.3mpg and a 142g/km CO2 rating, and 231bhp (xDrive25d). That gives the xDrive30i a 0-62mph time of 6.3sec and 150mph top speed.
The base 2.0-litre petrol unit will be offered with 184bhp (in the xDrive20i) and 252bhp (xDrive30i). Two six-cylinder M Performance models will be introduced in the coming months. The new X4 will be launched with a choice of four longitudinally mounted engines: two four-cylinder petrol units and two four-cylinder diesel options.
