Overview
Upon first glance, the X4 occupies a distinctive place in BMW's lineup. It's nominally a mid-sized SUV, but it's far more conscious of its styling than most of those entries because the X4 offers more of a luxurious feel than the normal SUV variety. The BMW competes against the Mercedes GLC, Porsche Macan, and Range Rover Velar. The big differentiator though is how the X4 drives. BMW compromised some of its off-roading ability in the name of on-road performance. Though it still has enough ride height to not get hung up too badly during light off-roading duty, the X4 is clearly a machine meant for the road. It handles better than most SUVs in its class, while providing strong, real-world acceleration and passing power.
Model Highlights
The BMW X4 is available in three models: the xDrive30i, the hybrid M40i and the high performance X4 M. The xDrive30i is powered by a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine which makes 248 horsepower. BMW claims a 0-60 time of just 6 seconds for the xDrive30i, making the vehicle quite quick by current standards. The X4 M40i gets an extra couple of cylinders powered by a 3.0L 6-cylinder engine, making 382 horsepower. X4 M models take the 6-cylinder to new heights producing 473 or 503 horsepower. BMW uses their standard xLine and M Performance trim designations for the xDrive30i and M40i respectively, meaning that in addition to having different engines, the two base models look somewhat distinct as well. The xDrive30i gets unique 19-inch wheels, power liftgate, power sunroof, heated power folding exterior mirrors, and LED headlights. Inside, the two trims are further differentiated by their interior styling and features. The xDrive30i comes with dark oakwood interior accent strips, chrome instrument bezels, and high-gloss black highlights. In contrast, the M40i comes with aluminum accent strips, sportier steering wheel, and grippier seats. The X4 M is engineered with special attention to chassis stiffness, bigger brakes, and adaptive suspension dampeners with custom sport, comfort, and race settings that tailor your experience to your preference. Unique quick ratio power steering tuning aided by heavy duty limited slip differentials and standard X-drive ensure the X4 remains planted wherever it goes. The BMW X4 infotainment system comes with 12-speaker sound system, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto compatible, two 12-volt power outlets, 2 USB ports, real-time traffic/weather display and Bluetooth integration. The X4 also comes standard with a navigation system, which is displayed on a large 12.3-inch screen in the X4's center console. Driver assistance options on the BMW X4 are numerous and include active cruise control that extends to stop-and-go traffic, meaning the car will essentially take care of the gas and brakes even down to bumper-to-bumper traffic. Standard safety features for the X4 include frontal collision warning, park distance control, blind spot detection system, lane departure warning system, rear collision warning, speed limit information system, pedestrian detection prevention, antilock brakes, comprehensive set of airbags, stability control, brake assist, hill hold control, and post-collision braking.
