BMW teases X4 M40i SUV; check price, features, and more

BMW has teased the upcoming M Sport version of the X4 SUV in India ahead of its launch, scheduled for October 26. The X4 M40i SUV is equipped with a 3.0-litre M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine, coupled with 48V mild-hybrid technology. It's expected to arrive in India through the completely built unit (CBU) route and is likely to feature the same engine used in global models. This engine can produce 382 bhp of maximum power and 502 Nm of peak torque, allowing the SUV to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in under five seconds and reach a top speed of 210 km/h.

The mild-hybrid powertrain enhances the SUV's output by approximately 11 bhp and enables the X4 M40i to run on electric power for up to 50 kilometres.

Pricing 

Before being removed from the Indian market, the BMW X4 had a starting price of Rs. 71.90 lakh (ex-showroom). It's expected that the X4 M40i SUV will be priced at least ₹90 lakh (ex-showroom) when it's launched.

Design and feature 

In terms of design, it features a distinctive kidney grille that is larger and has a single-piece frame, unlike the standard twin grille setup. The front headlights come with full LED technology as standard, and they ride on 20-inch M-light alloy wheels. The interior of the X4 M40i is sporty, featuring a central digital display housing a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system as standard, with a 12.3-inch version likely available as an option. The upholstery includes new sports seats, and it boasts three-zone automatic climate control.
