Is the new BMW X4 a three-cylinder?
2 Answers
The new BMW X4 is not a three-cylinder. The entire lineup of the new BMW X4 uses a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The vehicle is equipped with two versions of this engine: a low-power version and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The new BMW X4 is a mid-size SUV with dimensions of 4763mm in length, 1926mm in width, and 1632mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2864mm. The front suspension of this vehicle is a double-joint spring strut front axle, and the rear suspension is a five-link rear suspension. It is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine with a maximum horsepower of 184ps, a maximum power of 135kw, and a maximum torque of 290nm.
I've been driving the new BMW X4 for quite a while, and its engine isn't a three-cylinder; it's usually a four or six-cylinder. The xDrive30i model comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, delivering 248 horsepower, offering a smooth yet powerful drive with a fuel consumption of around 14 liters in the city and 8 liters on the highway, which is quite economical. The M40i version upgrades to a 3.0-liter six-cylinder, making it even more robust with an exhilarating acceleration feel. BMW saves costs with three-cylinder engines, using them in smaller cars like the X1. The X4, being an SUV coupe with a larger size and higher power demands, isn't suited for a three-cylinder. When choosing an engine, it's important to test drive to experience the throttle response and noise control. I've driven three-cylinder cars before and noticed significant vibration, but the X4 doesn't have this issue, with a stable chassis that gives confidence during high-speed cornering. Maintenance is the same as for any regular BMW, with routine oil changes being straightforward. For configurations, a practical four-cylinder is sufficient, but if you're after sportiness, go for the six-cylinder.
