2 Answers
BMW X4 is an imported car. The new BMW X4 still retains the classic coupe SUV design, with the family-style double-kidney grille further enlarged compared to the current model and standard LED headlights. Below are the relevant details of the BMW X4: Configuration: The new BMW X4 is equipped with a 12-inch instrument panel, a 10.25-inch multimedia display, sports seats, a panoramic sunroof, three-zone automatic air conditioning, a natural voice recognition system, etc. It also offers driving assistance features such as front collision warning, pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control, and lane departure warning. Powertrain: The xDrive30i is powered by a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 252 horsepower and a peak torque of 350 N·m, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, achieving a 0-96km/h acceleration time of 6 seconds. The high-end model is equipped with a 3.0T inline-six engine, delivering a maximum power of 360 horsepower and a peak torque of 495 N·m, also matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, with a 0-96km/h acceleration time of 4.6 seconds.
I've driven several BMWs and researched the X4. The BMW X4 is indeed an imported vehicle in the Chinese market, as it's manufactured in German or other overseas factories, not locally produced by BMW Brilliance. This gives me the impression that its overall quality is more authentic, with the imported status ensuring original factory tuning and meticulous craftsmanship. The driving experience offers solid handling, unlike some domestic models that might have simplified configurations. However, the downside is obvious—the price is significantly higher than domestic BMWs due to import taxes, with the on-the-road price starting from 600,000 RMB, requiring a more generous budget when purchasing. If practicality is a priority, domestic X3 or X1 models offer better value for money. But the X4's imported status brings a touch of high-end exclusivity, attracting many brand-conscious buyers. Regular maintenance at 4S shops also comes with higher costs for parts and services, so it's essential to understand these expenses beforehand. Overall, the imported status is a defining feature of the X4, with both advantages and disadvantages, depending largely on personal budget and preferences.
