最近谍照记者拍到了一组宝马4系敞篷车最新照片，当时该车正在靠近慕尼黑总部的大街上进行测试。虽然该车车身有很多伪装，但这些照片仍很好的提供了新车外观整体造型。该车整体造型风格看起来与即将发布的3系轿车很接近，后者将在巴黎车展首次亮相。这辆测试车显示了4系车比其四门硬顶车型更圆润的车鼻，但这也许是车头伪装造成的视觉误判。新款4系敞篷车改为软顶，而现行版则为金属折叠硬顶。采用织物软顶后，重量明显降低，同时降低车辆重心，令车辆在弯路行驶时更灵活。新款4系与3系一样采用了宝马的CLAR平台。同样采用该平台的其他车型重量进一步降低，而可以预计的是，4系敞篷车重量也将获得同步下降。同样，4系也将与3系共享动力总成，这包括各种动力系统，但宝马目前唯一证实将搭载在这两种车型上的是所谓的动力最强四缸引擎，功率187千瓦/252马力，另外未来还将提供插电混动版本。与新款4系轿跑车和敞篷车将于明年首次亮相，不过上市要等到2020年了。

 

BMW 4 Series Convertible Spied Looking Svelte In New Photos

A new batch of spy photos provides a great look at the upcoming BMW 4 Series Convertible while testing near the automaker's Munich headquarters. The droptop continues to wear lots of camouflage, but the pictures provide a good overview of the vehicle's shape.

 

The overall styling looks a lot like the upcoming 3 Series sedan, which is only a few weeks from debuting at the Paris Motor Show. Test mules so far seem to show the 4 Series with a slightly rounder nose than its four-door counterpart, but this could easily be a visual distortion from the camouflage. The new 4 Series Convertible switches to a soft top instead of the current model's folding metal roof. The fabric panel should be quite a bit lighter and would lower the vehicle's center of gravity, which might make the machine more tossable on curvy roads.

 

Like the 3 Series, the new 4 Series moves to BMW's CLAR platform. On other models, the updated underpinnings let the vehicles shed weight, and it's safe to expect a similar weight loss for these new models, too. The pair should also share the same powertrains. There should be a wide variety of powerplants available, but the only one that BMW confirms so far is the introduction of its most powerful four-cylinder ever that makes 252 horsepower (187 kilowatts). A plug-in hybrid would be part of the range eventually.

 

Look for the new 4 Series in both the coupe and droptop varieties to debut in 2019, but they might not be on sale until 2020.
