New BMW X4 Sports Activity Coupé and
BMW X3 launched
Alfardan Automobiles, the official BMW Group importer in Qatar, has announced that the all-new BMW X4 Sports Activity Coupé and new BMW X3 have gone on sale in Qatar.
Visually, the new BMW X4 combines impressive sports car performance and Sports Activity Vehicle versatility with the elegance of a coupé.
Commenting on the arrival of the vehicles, Mohammad Kandeel, Chief Operating Officer, Alfardan Group – Automotive Division, said: “The BMW X4 is a welcome addition to our X family here in Qatar. Blending performance and utility in a muscular skin, the BMW X4 will be BMW’s second offering in the Sports Activity Coupé segment. Similarly, 10 years on, the new BMW X3 continues to build on its best-in-class versatility and robust agility. We are confident that both vehicles will resonate well with our clientele in Qatar who consistently demand the best in premium motoring.”
From the front, the car is immediately recognisable as a member of the BMW X family: The large air intakes positioned on the outer edges of the front end and the precise character lines in the front apron give the X4 a muscular and agile appearance. And the car’s wide track, visually low centre of gravity, long wheelbase and pronounced wheel arches emphasise its good road handling.
The coupé-like roofline of the BMW X4 reaches its highest point over the front seats, reflecting the traditional driver focus of BMW cars, before dropping gently down towards the trailing edge of the tailgate. These stretched lines underline the sporting coupé character of the X4 particularly effectively. The standalone design of the BMW X4 is further reinforced by the fresh interpretation of the signature swage line running along the sides of models.
The BMW X4 will be available with two powerful engines, both with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.  Topping the range is the BMW X4 xDrive35i with a 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine delivering a maximum output of 225 kW/306 hp and propelling the vehicle from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds. In addition, the xDrive28i has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine delivering 180 kW/245 hp and goes from 0-100 km/h in 6.4 seconds.
