It seems that the Germans at BMW are confirming that the all-new X4 is going to debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show.

The unveiling will take place on March 14 but no further details were released in this regard. According to current details, the new BMW X4 will be identical in length compared to the current X3.

However, it will sit 53mm closer to the ground and will be 34mm wider. At the exterior, the new X4 will borrow several design cues from the concept with the same name as well as the BMW X6. The Bavarians will continue their tradition with the rear-wheel drive system but xDrive variants will be there as well.

Power outputs will range from 181 horsepower to 330 horses, most of the powertrains following to be borrowed from the X3 range.

Stay tuned for more details and photos on the BMW X4 as the debut date gets closer.

The new BMW X4 crossover seems to get closer and closer to debut as we get new spy photos and details. Slotting between the X3 and X5, it will borrow several styling cues from both but will also try to stand out in its unique way. The most important styling changes are actually the ones hidden under the camouflage.

We expect to see revised bumpers, side skirts, rear end and wheels. Under the hood expect to see a quite familiar series of engines including 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter TwinPower Turbo units.

They will come with outputs ranging from 184 horsepower to 300 horses.

The all-new BMW X4, caught here while being tested on the Nurburgring, is very likely to make its official debut at the beginning of 2014.

We can’t tell you for sure when but the Geneva Motor Show which opens its gates in March seems a fair bet.

BMW Concept Active Tourer is the first BMW that has front-wheel drive (FWD). This model is a MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) that will compete with B-Class from Mercedes.

It was presented at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show where it was greatly appreciated by all visitors. BMW Active Tourer will be released in about 2 years.

BMW claims a fuel consumption of just 1.5L/100km because of EfficientDynamics, all this consumption of a 3-cylinder gasoline engine which outputs 190hp (140kW) on a hybrid plug-in platform eDrive architecture.

The future BMW Active Tourer will be able to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in only 7.9s which is very good considering the weight at which we expect to be higher than the normal BMW cars, that because to battery present inside it.

Once this BMW Active Tourer remains only battery, its autonomy will be somewhere for just 30km, which means you should be headed to the nearest place where you have to fuel with gasoline.

The design of BMW Concept Active Tourer is very futuristic with dynamic design lines as well we can see in the pictures.

The interior is illuminated with a red-orange tint, a warm light with glossy plastic and leather board with a modern color.

With the long-awaited Geneva Motor Show opened to the public, BMW started presenting their newest models in range.

One of them is the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, a model which has a quite difficult task considering that the previous GT models were not very well received.

The German company says that the new 3 Series GT is 20 cm longer and 8,1 cm taller than the Touring model, which translates into a better rear seat legroom and a luggage capacity of 1600 liters.

Under the bonnet, we will get a variety of 2.0-liter TwinTurbo four-cylinder units but also a more powerful 3.0-liter inline-six. The base model is a 2.0-liter diesel producing 143 horses and 320Nm of torque, followed up by a similar version with 184 hp and 380Nm of torque.

BMW also offers petrol units with outputs ranging from 184 hp to 245 hp. The range-topping variant is powered by a 3.0-liter six-cylinder powerplant producing 306 horsepower and 400Nm of torque.
