The BMW Germans based luxury automaker has willingly launched new shots with the X4 model which has been publicly unveiled a few months ago, at the 2014 New York Auto Show.

The fresh BMW X4 will hit its dealerships in Germany this summer, with prices starting at 45,600 Euro, while in the US the X4 will come available from 45,625 USD.

The BMW X4 will be thus more expensive than the X3 model, even if it shares the same platform, coming though with sportier look.

Even if the interior resembles somehow with the one found on the X3, the BMW X4`s cabin has a lowered roofline, providing its rear passengers with a lower room.

At the front, the driver and the write passenger also sit on a lowered 20 mm on the X4, while on the X3, the space is also wider and provides more space for the legs.

But these minor inconveniences doesn’t affect the overall image of the X4, especially since we are talking about the engine lineup under the hood.

Thus, we are referring to three petrol burners and three diesels, available for the model in Europe, with power ranging between 181 horsepower and higher 309 horsepower.

Also, the BMW X4`s top of the line xDrive35i delivers a great output of 302 horsepower and 400 Nm of torque, for its 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, while the diesel sports a higher 309 HP and 630 Nm of torque.
