BMW X4 (2018-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Coupe-like looks stand out from the SUV crowd	Not as practical as an X3, although that's hardly surprising
Drives well, even if you choose one of the less powerful versions	No plug-in hybrid version
The xDrive30d offers great performance and reasonable economy	Lacks a small petrol engine

Quick Summary

The BMW X4 (2018-present) is a premium coupe-SUV designed for those who prioritise style over maximum practicality. As a sportier alternative to the more traditional BMW X3, its defining feature is a rakish, coupe-like roofline that creates a bold look in a crowded SUV market. While this design slightly reduces rear headroom and boot space, the X4 remains highly practical, offering 525 litres of luggage capacity. It directly competes with other style-led SUVs like the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe and the Porsche Macan.

Every X4 comes equipped with BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system and a smooth eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring a confident and engaging driving experience. The engine lineup is a key strength, ranging from the popular xDrive20d diesel, which offers a good balance of performance and economy at over 40mpg, to the ferociously fast X4 M Competition. The six-cylinder xDrive30d is a particular highlight, providing impressive acceleration with reasonable running costs. Buyers should note that all models fall into a higher road tax bracket for the first five years of ownership.

Best for: Drivers who value distinctive styling and a sporty driving experience in an SUV package, and those looking for a strong and efficient diesel engine.

Not ideal for: Buyers who need maximum practicality and rear passenger space, or those seeking a plug-in hybrid or small petrol engine option.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the X4 if: You're looking for an SUV that stands out from the crowd and delivers an enjoyable, car-like driving experience without sacrificing too much practicality.

Consider alternatives if: Maximum boot space and rear headroom are your top priorities, or if you're set on a plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Competitive Position: The BMW X4 successfully carves out its niche in the premium SUV market by offering a compelling blend of dynamic handling, powerful engines, and standout coupe styling. It competes strongly against the Porsche Macan for driver appeal and the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe for style. While it concedes a small amount of practicality to its X3 sibling, the X4 is a confident and desirable choice for buyers who don't want to follow the conventional SUV crowd.
