BMW Korea, Official Launch of the New 4 Series in Korea

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] BMW Korea announced on the 1st that it will officially launch the BMW New 4 Series in the domestic market.

The New 4 Series is the second-generation full-change model of the BMW 4 Series, first introduced in 2013, featuring BMW's latest design language, which the company says offers a completely differentiated appeal from the New 3 Series sedan.

The front of the New 4 Series harmonizes a newly designed grille extending down to the lower front bumper, mesh-type air intakes, and sleek headlights.

The side profile is completed with dynamic proportions through a long and wide body and short overhangs, while the rear, combining broad and distinct surfaces with full LED rear lights, emphasizes a powerful image.

The body is larger than the previous generation. With a length of 4770mm, width of 1845mm, and a wheelbase of 2850mm, it has increased by 130mm, 27mm, and 41mm respectively, providing a more spacious interior. The body height is 1385mm for the New 420i Coupe M Sport Package and 1395mm for the New M440i xDrive.

The driver-focused interior blends high-quality materials to emphasize the luxury befitting a premium sports model. Additionally, sports seats and an M leather steering wheel are standard, while the instrument cluster, door panel trims, and the elevated center console create an enveloping environment for front-seat passengers.

The New 4 Series boasts improved driving performance compared to the previous generation, based on powerful engines and powertrains. The 420i model is equipped with a BMW TwinPower Turbo 4-cylinder gasoline engine delivering a maximum output of 184 horsepower and peak torque of 30.6kg·m, paired with an 8-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission that ensures quick shifting and high efficiency. The New 420i Coupe accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.5 seconds, and the New 420i Convertible in 8.2 seconds.

The New M440i xDrive Coupe and Convertible, the first high-performance M Performance models in the 4 Series, feature an M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder gasoline engine producing a maximum output of 387 horsepower and peak torque of 51.0kg·m.

Combined with the 8-speed Steptronic Sport automatic transmission, they accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds (New M440i xDrive Coupe) and 4.9 seconds (New M440i xDrive Convertible).

The prices are 59.4 million KRW for the New 420i Coupe M Sport Package, 81.9 million KRW for the New M440i xDrive Coupe, and 67.9 million KRW for the New 420i Convertible M Sport Package.
