BMW reveal Concept X4

The short history of the BMW X range is already a successful one with the BMW X5 in 1999 followed by the X3 and X1 Sports Activity Vehicles (SAVs). One in four new BMW cars sold globally is now an X model.

Now comes a preview of the future of the BMW X family with the Concept X4 which shows how the qualities of a BMW X model can blend with the genes of a BMW Coupe.

This second Sport Activity Coupe in the brand's model range will be built at the company's Spartanburg plant in the USA which also produces the BMW X5, X6 and X3.

The car features a long bonnet, short overhangs and set back passenger cell, a long wheel-base and 21-inch light-alloy wheels.

The X4 is scheduled for launch in 2014.
