BMW, german-automaker has teased one of the most savvy X4 M40i SUV in India ahead of its launch scheduled for this month. The automaker has confirmed that the BMW X4 M40i SUV will be launched on October 26 in India. The latest variant of the X4 M performance model has already been launched globally across the world. BMW launched the XUV facelift SUV in March last year. Furthermore, BMW even delisted the SUV model from across their official website.
The brand-new X4 M40i SUV is anticipated to come via CBU route in India. And is expected to contain the same 3.0 L M Twin Power Turbo inline 6-cylinder engine under the bonnet that is already used across the brand's model globally. The engine is coupled to a 48V mild-hybrid technology. And the model has 8-speed Sport automatic transmission with manual and sport shift, launch pad, and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters. The engine has the capability to produce 382 bhp of peak power and 502 Nm of maximum torque. The SUV is capable of accelerating up to 0-1000 kmph in under 5 seconds and can acquire a maximum speed of 210 kmph.
The mild-hybrid powertrain supports the SUV to boost up its output by approximately 11bhp. It helps the X4 M40i for around 50 kms purely on electrical power.

If we talk about the SUVs looks, the model will comprise a distinct kidney grille than the one already imbibed on existing models. Other models have conventional twin-grille setup with a black bar but this model has a grille which is larger and is in a single-piece frame. And the car has standard front headlights equipped with full LEDs. With 20-inch M light alloy wheels, the SUV has M Sport badging all around that separates it from other conventional X4 variants.
And the SUV is sportier inside out. The dashboard is controlled by a free-standing, central digital display which accumulates the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system as a conventional version. There is also a 12.3-inch version of the touchscreen display which is likely to be provided as a choice. The car now gets a new sports seat rather than the older cushioning and also gets a 3-zone automatic climate control.
The price of BMW X4 started at INR 71.90 lakh(ex-showroom) before it got delisted from the brand's official website. If you’re someone looking for this new X4 M40i SUV, then expect a budget of around INR 90 lakh(ex-showroom) when launched in the country.
