BMW X4 confirmed

BMW has announced a compact SUV BMW X4, it may be a smaller version of the X6, the production will be built due in 2014.

As the smaller BMW x6, It will feature a similar four-door layout and a sloping roofline towards the rear. And X4 is based on the same platform as the BMW X3.

The X4 is expected to come with a choice of four and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines mated to a six-speed manual, seven-speed double-clutch or optional eight-speed automatic gearbox. As with the X3, BMW does not plan a two-wheel-drive version.

The BMW X4 line-up could conceivably include an M-badged version, perhaps powered by the twin-turbo 3.0 litre six that drives the limited-edition 1 Series M. and the price will slot in above the X3 in terms of price and specification.
