        The All New BMW X4


BMW is all set to take on the indian market with it's new coupe X4. This vehicle is based on BMW's new design language which lays emphasis on sleek and sharp styling providing an understated look to the car. This car shares it's build platform with X3 which makes it more reliable in terms of design layout. The X4 has been recently spotted testing in Chennai where the company is planning it's manufacturing. Now its all set and launched today already, where BMW Motors has unveiled the X4 and has qouted the prices of the Beemer Coupe SUV.

FACTS: It is the first time that an even numbered Beemer Series has been launched in India.

TECHNICALITIES: 

  • ENGINE

        The X4 is available with three engine options - 
        1. 2.0 litre Diesel Motor which is a 4-cylinder unit (Displacement-1995cc) producing 190                             
            Horses(bhp) @4000 rpm and 400 Nm of torque @1750-2500 rpm with a claimed economy 
            of 17Kmpl. (xDrive 20d M Sport X)

        2. 3.0 litre Diesel Motor which is a 6-cylinder unit (Displacement-2993cc) producing immense 
            265 Horses(bhp) @4000 rpm and 620 Nm of torque @1750-2500 rpm with a surprisingly 
            claimed economy of 15Kmpl. (xDrive 30d M Sport X) 
        
        3. 2.0 litre 4-cylinder Petrol unit (Displacement-1998cc) producing some impressive figures 
            claiming 252 Horses(bhp) @5200 rpm and 350 Nm @ 1450-4800 rpm with an improved 
            economy of 11Kmpl. (xDrive 30i M Sport X)

DESIGN LAYOUT:


     EXTERIORS:
  • The older X4 launched in 2014 was conceived more as a baby X6 rather than a mid sized Coupe SUV. Eventually it was improved, Considering it as an sportier alter-ego of X3, it got coupe styling with rear wide wings giving it an aggressive stance. Not a Claimed offroader but its large polygonal wheel arches provides a fair amout of ground clearance. 

  • All the muscle and those bold body lines help it stand out in crowd. Headlamps could be mistaken for an X6 but it's signature tailights it distinguishes itself for other X siblings. Also, there is not to expect for this segment as it's got some weird looking vehicles already. ( GLC coupe and Range Rover Velar - Not so pleasing to eyes).

     INTERIORS:


  • Inside the cabin, It feels young and fresh with all the black treatment on the M-Sport trim, which have been launched in India. It get everything from wireless charging to Andriod Auto and Apple Car Play, from Heads Up Display to Voice Commands.


  • Some Set Of Standard Features (Ones I could get hold off)
          Six Airbags, ABS, Cornering Brake Control, BMW Dynamic Control and Traction Set-
          up, Isofixed Child Seat Mounts, Tyre Pressure Monitoring, Adaptive Suspension 
          ( a bit on the stiffer side), Adaptive LED Headlamps, Rain Sensing Wipers, Drive 
          Modes (Eco-Pro, Comfort, Sport, Sport+), Auto Headlamps, Ambient Lighting (could 
          offer BMW Sky Lounge), Auto-Dimming & Electrically Foldable OVRM's, Auto-
          Dimming IRVM, Panoramic Sunroof, Three Zone Automatic Climate Control, Front 
          and Reverse Parking Sensors with Rear Parking Camera And Much More 
   
IN SHORT, It is a feature - loaded vehicle.   


DRIVERING EXPERIENCE AND REVIEW:


          Tho I haven't got my hands on this beemer, but what I've learnt from BMW and some 
           reviewers, This car gets different tuning from the X3's chassis, so you get a much firmer suspension set for that sporty feel. However, ride quality at low speeds is a bit compromised but put your foot down, and that 3.0 litre engine pins you back into the seat, there is just immense 600 Nm of torque waiting a press of a throttle away.   



           That power is distributed into the BMW's Four Wheel Drive System

Rolls Royce Dawn 2016

  The expansion of the Rolls Royce range has continued with the addition of the Dawn, a soft-top convertible to sit alongside the Wraith Coupe in the line-up. The Dawn’s bodywork is 80% new compared with the Wraith on which it is based. Rolls says the cabin has room for four adults to sit in comfort. The only carryover exterior parts from the Wraith are the doors and the grille surround. Rolls says it has worked hard to ensure that the Dawn is as smooth and quiet as other Rolls-Royce models despite the absence of a fixed roof, delivering on the firm’s famed ‘magic carpet’ ride.  The firm says the Dawn is as quiet as the Wraith with the roof up, and as such is the quietest convertible on the market. The roof retracts in 21 seconds at speeds of up to 30mph. The company’s design chief, Giles Taylor, set out to create a car that was as beautiful with the roof up as it was down, with the intention of producing “two cars in one”. ...

The 2020 Honda City Now talking about the changes in the exterior of the car, City offers many first in class features like full LED Headlamps, Z shaped wrap around LED Tail lights and Honda’s LaneWatch Camera which streams the view from the left ORVM mounted camera on to the head unit which is a semi-digital instrument cluster with 7 inch display. The clear-cut look of the 2020 City is a clear departure from the current car. The chrome lip and protruding chin gives the new City plenty of character. There are other interesting bits too like large  fighter-jet-like air intakes and door mounted mirrors. Phew! ENGINE OPTIONS AND SPECS Mechanically, the car will use two engine options: 1.5L i-VTEC (Petrol) 1.5L i-DTEC (Diesel) The former delivers 89kW (121PS) at 6600 rpm and 73kW (100PS) at 360...

 Audi Q3 Audi is known to be currently working on an all-new generation of its Q3; an SUV that shows off its good build quality and luxurious interiors. However, the current model has been around for some time now, and the competition has moved ahead. The next generation Audi Q3 is expected to be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2017 before hitting markets globally in 2018. Audi’s next-gen Q3 will be underpinned by the MQB platform which makes the car slightly bigger but lighter than the existing model. Edgier design lines are anticipated, along with a revamped nose and rear section which keeps in mind the brand’s current design language. Expect sharper headlamps and tail lamps along with the fresher looking octagonal grille outlined in chrome.
