Is the BMW X4 an imported car?
2 Answers
BMW X4 is an imported car, which is a coupe SUV launched by BMW and produced at BMW's Spartanburg plant in the United States. Taking the 2021 BMW X4 as an example, it belongs to the medium-sized SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4763mm, width 1926mm, height 1632mm, wheelbase 2864mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 65l. The 2021 BMW X4 features a double-joint spring strut front suspension and a five-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0l turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 184ps, maximum power of 135kw, and maximum torque of 290nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
I've always been a BMW enthusiast and have driven several BMW models, including the X4. To be honest, the BMW X4 is imported in most countries, such as in the Chinese market where it isn't locally manufactured but imported from the U.S. or other production bases. As an imported vehicle, its design retains the essence of the original German factory, offering first-class handling—especially the dynamic style of the X Series, which is perfect for those who love sporty driving. However, the drawbacks are obvious: high import taxes significantly increase the price, and daily maintenance and repairs can be costly due to imported parts, which may also lead to longer wait times for replacements. I recommend checking the tariff and after-sales policies at a dealership before purchasing to ensure your budget is sufficient. Additionally, the X4's fuel consumption isn't low, so city driving requires attention to fuel expenses, though its resale value is decent, and the brand image adds appeal. Overall, its imported status gives it a more premium feel, but be prepared to handle minor inconveniences.
