July 9, 2015 – Bassoul Heneine sal, the world’s oldest BMW Group importer and official partner in Lebanon, highlights the elegant and versatile features of the BMW X4. The model marries all the hallmarks of an X model family member, with the sporting elegance of a classical coupé. It also represents a unique Sports Activity Coupé concept in the premium mid-size segment.
Offering stylish design, outstanding performance, luxury and sheer driving pleasure, the model set trends last year in the premium car segment. Its dynamic pedigree is underlined by a wide range of cutting-edge high-performance engines, the xDrive all-wheel-drive system and an exclusive spread of standard equipment features such as variable sport steering, performance control and a sports leather steering wheel with gearshift paddles.
Commenting on the versatility of the vehicle, Mr. Nagy Heneine, General Manager for Commercial Affairs at Bassoul-Heneine sal, said: “With its sporty design, spaciousness and innovative technology that includes the most fuel efficient engines in its class, this model has built on our successful X model story and has contributed to a fruitful year for us since its launch. We are confident that this model will continue the success story of the X family in Beirut.”
From the front, the independent self-image of the BMW X4 is evident. The striking front is characterized by a solid stance, a powerful kidney grille and large air inlets. The integrated double-round headlights are available with full LED technology as an option.
The sporty bumpers, extremely muscular wheel arches and broad shoulder line further emphasize the X genes of the sports activity coupé. When viewed from the side, the dynamic contours of the coupé roof line and the characteristic two-part crease line come to the fore. At the rear, the powerfully sculptured bumpers and LED lights emphatically round off the vehicle’s proportions.
The coupé-like roofline of the BMW X4 reaches its highest point over the front seats, reflecting the traditional driver focus of BMW cars, before dropping gently down towards the trailing edge of the tailgate. These stretched lines underline the sporting coupé character of the X4 particularly effectively. The standalone design of the BMW X4 is further reinforced by the fresh interpretation of the signature line running along the sides of models.
The generously sized interior of the new BMW X4 combines sportiness and exclusivity with high-level functionality. Every control element is angled towards the driver, for optimal ergonomics. Occupants in the new model enjoy an elevated seating position, with the front and rear seats. Equally impressive is the load capacity available (500–1,400 litres), which can be used in a wide variety of ways thanks to the standard 40:20:40 split rear seat bench. Everyday usability is further enhanced by the standard-fitted automatically opening tailgate. This can be further specified with the Comfort Access Option for extra convenience, which allows it to be opened with a movement of the foot.
The BMW X4 is equipped with BMW Connected Drive feature that comprise a plethora of Driver Assistance systems that provide the driver with safety, convenience and infotainment at an unmatched level. Some of these include an optional high-resolution full-colour Head-Up Display, which projects all important driving information and the assistance systems displays into the driver’s field of view. The latest-generation Navigation System Professional with ECO PRO route guidance now teams up with the iDrive Touch Controller whose touchpad allows texts e.g. a navigation destination – to be easily inputted by using a finger. Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function and surround view (360°) for optimal visibility when manoeuvring in tight spaces.
The BMW X4 is available with two powerful engines, both with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. Topping the range is the BMW X4 xDrive35i with a 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine delivering a maximum output of 306 hp and propelling the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds. In addition, the xDrive28i has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine delivering 245 hp and goes from 0-100 km/h in 6.4 seconds.
