Energy Efficient Vehicle incentives are a great way for automotive manufacturers to reduce their retail prices- a benefit they can pass on to their consumer. With the new locally-assembled X1 and X4, both of these models now qualify for a customized variant of the incentive.
For the X1, local assembly also means the introduction of a diesel variant. As with the diesel variant of its predecessor, this diesel model is also equipped with the xDrive all-wheel drive system. The efficiency of both this diesel motor and its petrol sister are what has led to the granting of the incentive by the government.
The locally assembled X1 sDrive20i comes with a 6.5-inch display for the iDrive system, complete with BMW Navigation. The xDrive20d model sports a larger 8.8-inch unit, with split-screen functions and Navigation Plus that boasts a heads up display feature. The Parking Assistant feature and BMW ConnectedDrive Services & Apps are also standard across the range.
While the X4 doesn’t have any new additions to the range, it also benefits from the local assembly treatment in that there is more equipment that comes as standard. Still powered by the TwinPowerTurbo 2.0-litre motor, the singular variant of the X4 now comes with extra driver assistance features (Lane Departure Warning, Person Warning, Approach Control Warning), as well as BMW ConnectedDrive Services & Apps.
With the EEV incentive, the prices for the X1 and X4 (on the road, without insurance, with BMW Group Malaysia’s latest 5 Years Unlimited Mileage Warranty, Free Scheduled Service Program and BMW Tyre Warranty Program) are as follows:

RM 258,914.90 RM 261,998.20 |

These models will be on display during the BMW xDrive Xperience 2016, which will be on tour across the country towards the end of May 2016. In conjunction with the program, BMW Premium Selection Showrooms will be offering special trade-in programs for pre-owned BMW X models. The Xperience schedule is as follows:
