BMW X4 Sports Activity Coupe to make world debut in New York

(March 13, 2014) The BMW X4 Sports Activity Coupe will make its world debut and the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, BMW ALPINA B6 Gran Coupe, BMW X3 LCI and BMW Concept X5 eDrive will make their North American debuts at the 2014 New York International Auto Show on April 16.

BMW says the BMW X4 Sports Activity Coupe combines the performance and capability of a premium Sports Activity Vehicle with the style and elegance of a traditional coupe.

In the U.S., the X4 will be offered with a choice of two TwinPower Turbo engines. The X4 xDrive28i, with a MSRP of $45,625 (including destination & handling), will feature BMW’s award-winning 240 horsepower 2.0-liter four cylinder, producing peak torque of 260 lb-ft and 0-60 mph in 6.0 seconds.

The top-of-line X4 xDrive35i, with an MSRP of $48,925 (including Destination & Handling), will feature BMW’s venerable 300 horsepower 3.0-liter inline six, producing peak torque of 300 lb-ft and 0-60 mph in 5.2 seconds.

Both models include an 8-speed Steptronic sport automatic transmission with shift paddles as well as xDrive, BMW’s intelligent all-wheel drive system. The BMW X4 will begin production in the spring exclusively at BMW’s U.S. production facility in Spartanburg, S.C.
