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), internally codenamed G02, is BMW's second-generation coupe-SUV, or SAC (Sports Activity Coupe). It deliberately sacrifices some traditional SUV practicality for a more distinctive, rakish profile, appealing to buyers who prioritise style over maximum rear headroom or boot space. While its 525-litre boot (1,430 litres with seats down) is slightly less than the X3, this difference is often negligible for daily use, making it a bold and stylish choice in the SUV market.

All X4s feature xDrive four-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, offering an engaging driving experience even in the entry-level xDrive20d. The xDrive30d stands out with a strong balance of performance (0-62mph in 5.8 seconds) and impressive economy (over 40mpg). M Sport suspension is standard, highlighting its driver-focused nature. Running costs vary, with the xDrive20d achieving 42.2-45.6mpg and emissions between 153-168g/km. Higher-performance M models naturally incur greater running and servicing costs, while various M Sport trims offer enhanced styling and equipment.

Best for: Drivers seeking a distinctive, coupe-like SUV that stands out, those who value engaging driving dynamics and performance, and buyers who don't require maximum practicality.

Not ideal for: Buyers who prioritise absolute maximum practicality and boot space (like an X3), those looking for a plug-in hybrid option, or those who prefer a traditional SUV aesthetic.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the X4 if: You want a distinctive, coupe-like SUV that stands out, you value engaging driving dynamics, and you don't need the absolute maximum practicality of a traditional SUV.

Consider alternatives if: You require the ultimate practicality and boot space, prefer a more conventional SUV look, or are seeking a plug-in hybrid option.

Competitive Position: The BMW X4 (2018-present) carves out a niche as a stylish and driver-focused alternative in the SUV market. While it sacrifices some of the X3's practicality for its coupe-like aesthetics, it delivers strong driving dynamics and a premium feel. Its range of efficient yet powerful engines, particularly the xDrive30d, offers a compelling balance of performance and economy. It stands as a strong contender for those seeking a bolder, less conventional SUV experience, competing directly with the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe and offering a more engaging drive than some rivals.
