The new BMW X4 measures 4759/1925/1634mm in length, width, and height respectively, according to official data. The length of the BMW X4 refers to the distance between two vertical lines perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane, touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car. The width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane, touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle. The height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's supporting plane. The BMW X4 is equipped with two powertrains: a 2.0L four-cylinder turbocharged engine and a 3.0L six-cylinder turbocharged engine. The 2.0L engine delivers a maximum power of 185kW and a maximum torque of 350 Nm. The 3.0L engine delivers a maximum power of 265kW and a maximum torque of 495 Nm, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. National regulations on vehicle dimensions stipulate that, according to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance for overtaking between adjacent lanes. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data lies in ensuring enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the requirements of public road usage.
As an enthusiast who frequently drives in the city, I have a bit of a soft spot for the body dimensions of the new BMW X4: it's approximately 4.76 meters long, 1.93 meters wide, and 1.62 meters tall, making parking in shopping mall basements less of a headache, and its turning radius is quite nimble, not as difficult to handle as larger SUVs; the 2.86-meter wheelbase ensures a spacious interior, so you won't feel cramped during rush hour commutes, and the folding mirrors save a bit of width. For daily commuting, these dimensions provide stability and fuel efficiency on highways, fitting snugly into garages without compromising fuel economy. However, I think if you often navigate narrow alleys, you might need to be mindful of the width to avoid scratches; overall, the size design strikes a balance between practicality and aesthetics, making it very easy to drive, especially for urban dwellers who seek a relaxed driving experience.
