First Drive BMW X4 xDrive28i M Sport - BMW Indonesia launched the all-new BMW X4 xDrive28i M Sport at the Indonesia International Motor Show 2014 last. X4 adopted the concept of the Sports Activity Coupe with sporty appearance of a classic coupe. X4 originally introduced as a concept vehicle at the Auto Shanghai 2013, and BMW launched officially at the New York International Auto Show in 2014.
X4 xDrive28i M Sport adopted a 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a capacity of 1,997 cc with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology (TwinScroll turbocharger, direct injection, Valvetronic). This machine is capable of generating power up to 245 hp at 5000-6500 rpm with peak torque of 350 Nm at 1250 to 4800 rpm.
Machines in front of longitudinally paired with gearbox paired extends to the rear. Between the gearbox and propeller shaft, there is a multi-plate clutch, which is channeled to the rear wheels and round to the front wheels. Power from the engine is channeled 40% to the front wheels and 60% to the rear wheels under normal driving conditions via an 8-speed transmission Steptronic Sport. If the car detects slip phenomenon, power from the engine can be distributed up to 99% to the front wheels.
X4 gives a comfortable sitting position thanks to front seats electrically settings and you can adjust the side support to adjust to posture. Unfortunately, setting the steering wheel is not equipped with the electrical system. Steering wheel adjustment buttons disemati entertainment system, cruise control, phone until the voice command. Voice command feature is quite helpful to choose your favorite songs.
There are four driving modes can be selected, namely Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus. Eco Pro offers the best fuel efficiency, you can adjust your driving style in this mode. For example, you can enable the feature coasting (machine will be a decision is made relations with the transmission and slide freely when you release the gas), cabin cooling system is optimized for fuel economy, as well as the ideal speed setting to get the best consumption.
Move to Sport Plus, the car is transformed into a car that is completely different. Steering wheel feels more solid, as well as the chassis, more responsive gas pedal and driving feels a lot more fun. BMW claims 0-100 kph acceleration can be achieved in 6.4 seconds and I believe that number, because you can feel the car a strong boost when the gas pedal.
BMW EfficientDynamics technology includes into X4 xDrive28i M Sport. This technology helps reduce fuel consumption and emissions produced. Another technology that also helps is the Auto Start Stop, Brake Energy Regeneration and the Coasting. Fuel consumption we achieve for use in the city is 4.9 kpl outside the city and 13.6 kpl. A pretty good number, considering the car is equipped with four-wheel drive system.
Entertainment system is quite satisfactory, thanks to the use of Harman Kardon Surround sytem equipped with 16 speakers. 8.8-inch touchscreen can display a variety of important information, such as navigation systems, car tire indicator, output power and engine torque, manuals and so forth. To access it you simply use the iDrive Touch Controller that is practical and easy to use.
One annoying thing of this car is rear visibility is very limited. You just have a little space at the sight rearview sight, and it's hard to guess what's behind when parking. Moreover, X4 is not equipped with a reverse parking camera, parking sensors owned although quite unreliable.
Overall, X4 merupkan fun car for everyday use with a soft suspension when passing through bad roads and stable at high speeds. XDrive features convincing enough to be brought to maneuver at high speed, I can feel the traction in abundance on all four wheels. In addition, BMW claims X4 can penetrate water to a height of 500 mm with a top speed of 7 mph.
