People who prefer bmw X3 and people who are obsessed with BMW X4 are obviously two different user groups, the former focusing on practicality, while the latter is more aesthetic and tends to be emotional. BMW X4 (2022 xDrive 25i M sports suit) as the most entry-level model in the series, the official guide price is 455,900 yuan, can it make you impulsive consumption?
In terms of appearance, the performance of BMW X4 is worthy of recognition, even if it is an entry-level model, there is no need to worry. Compared with high-end models, the difference is reflected in the details of rims and mid-nets. The size of the double kidney intake grille has been further expanded, and the interior of the grille and the front bracket have adopted a new design, which is full of freshness.
LED light source is naturally the standard of the whole series, the lighting configuration is quite rich, support automatic headlights, LED daytime running lights, adaptive near and far lights, turn headlights, etc., there is no half-point difference between high and low models in terms of functionality.
Length, width and height: 4762/1926/1632mm
Wheelbase: 2864mm
Compared with high-end models, the difference in side styling is reflected in two places, one is the style and size of the rim; the other is that the entry model does not support the optional roof rack, for a coupe SUV, the lack of roof rack I think has almost no impact.
In terms of rims, the entry-level model is only equipped with 19-inch rims, which is not small in size, but compared to the 20-inch rims on high-end models, the visual effect is inferior. In addition, the front and rear tire specifications of the high-end model are 245/45 R20 and 275/40 R20, respectively, while the front and rear tire specifications of the entry-level model are 245/50 R19, which has a certain degree of shrinkage in the tire width.
The tail styling is highly consistent, and the "xDrive 25i" tail logo indicates the identity. The sneaky back line is matched with the narrow taillight group, and the sporty temperament is presented. In terms of configuration, the front/rear parking radar is standard, the high-end model will be equipped with a more advanced 360-degree panoramic system, and the entry-level model is only equipped with a reversing image system, and does not support optional upgrades.
Sitting in the car, the interior cockpit of the BMW X4 does not have obvious differences due to the different model configurations. The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, 12.3-inch central control screen, and M sports leather steering wheel are standard, in line with the consistent practice of luxury brands.
The central control screen is equipped with iDrive 7.0 system, the functional performance between high and low models is completely consistent, support navigation, voice recognition system, Internet of Vehicles, OTA upgrade, CarPlay, CarLife, etc., gesture control requires additional optional, the price is 2000 yuan.
The seats are wrapped in imitation leather, the main driver's seat has a seat memory function, and the front seats support 8-way electric adjustment and leg rest adjustment (manual). The entire series of leather seats need to be optional, and must be selected together with the electric adjustment of the back width of the seat, and the price is 16,000 yuan and 2,000 yuan respectively. In terms of comfort configuration, only the top model is equipped with front seat heating as standard, and the rest of the models need to be optional, and the price is 3,000 yuan.
In terms of configuration, the entry-level model is equipped with keyless start, cruise control, panoramic sunroof, electric trunk, rear independent air conditioning and other configurations, which can basically meet daily use. It is worth saying that the entry model is not equipped with a keyless entry function as standard, which is really a pity, and it is recommended that you must spend more than 5,000 yuan to choose when buying a car.
In terms of power, the BMW X4 (2022 xDrive 25i M Sport Kit) is equipped with a low-power 2.0T turbocharged engine, matched with the xDrive all-wheel drive system, with a maximum power of 184 horsepower and a maximum torque of 300 Nm. In terms of transmission system, it is matched by an 8-speed manual transmission, and the official acceleration time of 0-100km/h is 8.9 seconds.
Write at the end:
On the whole, this entry-level model also has a strong strength, for most consumers, the optional keyless entry, front seat heating these two configurations can be, the configuration level will not be a reason to reject it.
The real shortcoming, I think, is a slightly embarrassing power performance, for a coupe SUV product that emphasizes sports and personality, the 8.9-second hundred-second performance is really a bit difficult to handle. If you're just obsessed with looks, that's harmless; if you want a better driving experience, it's honest to buy the more powerful xDrive 30i.
