BMW X4

Exterior

On the whole, the BMW X4 new model styling is an acquired taste. It almost seems like an X3 with a sloping roofline and a stubby tail. Nevertheless, it sure is rather imposing and unmistakable. The imposing cue is derived from its front-end, replete with an oversized kidney grille, massive air dams on the lower half of the front bumper, and chunky signature BMW-esque headlamps.

In profile, the 19-inch wheels look great, but the sharply sloping roofline will surely draw some polarizing opinion. The rear-end, on the other hand, looks quite balanced, especially with the large wraparound taillamps.

Variants

The BMW X4 variants are as follows: xDrive20d M Sport X, xDrive30i M Sport X, and xDrive30d M Sport X. Standard equipment includes adaptive LED headlamps with LED DRLs, 19-inch alloy wheels, and LED taillamps on the outside.

Inside, you get a multifunction steering wheel, cruise control with braking function, park assist, ambient lighting, powered tailgate, three-zone climate control, BMW Live Cockpit Plus with 8.8-inch Screen and Touch Functionality, wireless Apple Carplay support, and Hi-Fi Loudspeaker.

Interior

The BMW X4, in typical BMW fashion, has a driver-focused interior with a touch of modernity and loads of equipment. The driver sits facing a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and an 8.8-inch infotainment screen, which supports wireless Apple Carplay.

The cabin has an all-black layout, which lends a sense of sportiness to the overall interior. The seats are extremely comfortable and feature excellent comfort. The space at the front is good, be it the headroom or the knee room, while the headroom is a bit tight in the second-row, thanks to the sharply sloping roofline. 

Engine Specifications & Performance

The BMW X4 comes with three engine and gearbox options. There are two diesel engines and a single petrol mill. The base-spec trim is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel, which is good for 188bhp and 400Nm of torque. Next in line is the 3.0-litre in-line six engine, which produces 260bhp and 620Nm of torque.

As for the gasoline engine, it’s a 2.0-litre four-cylinder mill, which is capable of churning out 248bhp and 350Nm of torque. An 8-speed automatic gearbox is a standard fit across all variants, regardless of the engine.
