Does the BMW X4 have automatic emergency braking?
1 Answers
The BMW X4 does not come with automatic emergency braking as a standard feature; it must be purchased as an optional extra. Introduction to Automatic Braking Systems: Automatic braking systems use radar to detect the distance to the vehicle ahead and analyze the data via the ECU. Depending on the distance and speed, the system issues warnings. If the driver does not respond to the warnings, the AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking) system activates when the safety distance falls below a critical threshold, automatically engaging the vehicle's braking system to reduce the likelihood of a collision with the vehicle or pedestrian ahead. Statistics show that 75% of rear-end collisions occur at speeds around 30 km/h. Volvo's "City Safety" system, for example, is specifically designed to prevent such accidents. When the vehicle reaches 30 km/h, the system activates automatically, monitoring traffic conditions—especially within a 6-meter range in front of the vehicle—via an optical radar system mounted on the windshield. If the vehicle ahead brakes, stops, or encounters an obstacle, the system first increases braking force to help the driver reduce stopping distance before taking action. Alternatively, it can adjust the steering to alter the vehicle's path and avoid obstacles. Vehicles equipped with automatic braking systems include: BMW 5 Series New Energy 530Le Pioneer Edition, Mercedes-Benz E-Class (Import) E260 Convertible Coupe, Mercedes-Benz E-Class (Import) E260 Coupe, Mercedes-Benz E-Class E300L Sport Premium, BMW 5 Series New Energy 530Le Pioneer Edition, Staria V-Class 2.0T Star Enjoy Edition, Audi A6L 55 TFSI quattro Flagship Elegance, Multivan 2.0T SI DSG 4MOTION Leisure Edition 7-Seater.
