BMW X4 Concept

BMW today released photos of its X4 Concept, a design study it says shows the future of BMW SUV design. The concept seems more than a little odd in light of BMW unveiling its 3 Series Gran Turismo at the Geneva auto show in March, a car that seems very similar to the X4 Concept in proportion. The X4 designation and coupe roofline suggest that this concept slots in underneath the X6 model.

BMW released no specifications for this concept, other than to point out the full LED headlights. However, if produced, it would likely come with either a turbocharged 2-liter four-cylinder or a turbocharged 3-liter six-cylinder engine.

For now, enjoy the photos.
