BMW has launched the X4 SUV-Coupe in India at a starting price of Rs 60.6 lakh (ex-showroom pan-India). The SUV has been launched with two diesel engine options, the xDrive20d and the xDrive30d, and one petrol engine, the xDrive30i. All of which are available in a single M Sport X variant, which has been launched in the country for the first time. The X4 will be locally produced in Chennai and will slot in between the X3 and the X5 in BMW's X family. The prices of the three engine options are as follows.

BMW X4 xDrive20d M Sport X: Rs 60.6 Lakh
BMW X4 xDrive30d M Sport X: Rs 65.9 Lakh
BMW X4 xDrive30i M Sport X: Rs 63.5 Lakh

The BMW X4 gets its styling cues from the X6 and definitely looks sportier than the X3. The coupe-like silhouette helps it look distinctive and along with the sleek headlamps and the flared wheel arches, the X4 is one of the good-looking members of the family. It gets fully adaptive LED headlights and LED fog lamps along with a big kidney grille at the front, 19-inch alloy wheels at the side, and wraparound taillights and twin exhaust pipes at the back.

Furthermore, as a part of the M Sport X variant you get details like M Aerodynamics Package, air intakes, side skirts, wheel arch trim and rear apron with diffuser finished in grey and blue M Sport brake callipers bearing the ‘M’ logo. Colour options available are Alpine White, Flamenco Red Brilliant Effect, Phytonic Blue and Carbon Black.
