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 divisive yet compelling coupe-SUV that deliberately sacrifices some practicality for bold styling and driving engagement. This second-generation model combines the high-riding stance of an SUV with a rakish roofline and sleek profile that sets it apart in an increasingly crowded market. Despite being slightly less practical than its X3 sibling, the X4 offers a respectable 525 litres of boot space with seats up, or 1,430 litres with them folded—only marginally less than the X3. The model range spans from the entry-level xDrive20d with 190hp to the performance-focused X4 M Competition with 510hp, capable of 0-62mph in just 4.1 seconds.

All X4s feature standard xDrive four-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, with M Sport suspension tuning that emphasises driver engagement. The xDrive30d strikes an excellent balance, delivering 5.8-second 0-62mph performance whilst achieving over 40mpg in real-world driving. Running costs vary considerably across the range, with the xDrive20d returning 42.2-45.6mpg and emitting 153-168g/km CO2. The xDrive30d achieves 38.2-40.9mpg with 180-194g/km emissions, whilst higher-spec M models incur greater fuel and servicing costs. All models exceed the £40,000 threshold for standard road tax rates. BMW dealer servicing is available via monthly payment plans, with connected services requiring subscription after three years.

Best for: Buyers seeking distinctive styling, engaging driving dynamics, and a practical yet unconventional SUV alternative; those wanting strong performance without sacrificing reasonable fuel economy (xDrive30d); and drivers who value bold design over maximum practicality.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising maximum boot space and rear headroom, buyers seeking plug-in hybrid options, or those wanting a small petrol engine choice.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the X4 if: You value distinctive styling and engaging driving dynamics, seek a practical yet unconventional SUV, want strong performance with reasonable economy (xDrive30d), or prefer bold design over maximum practicality.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise maximum boot space and rear headroom, require plug-in hybrid options, or want a small petrol engine choice.

Competitive Position: The BMW X4 (2018-present) occupies a unique position in the coupe-SUV segment, offering striking styling and engaging handling that set it apart from more conventional rivals. Whilst the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class and Range Rover Evoque provide greater practicality and the Porsche Macan delivers superior performance credentials, the X4 strikes an appealing balance between distinctive design and driving enjoyment. Its xDrive30d variant is particularly compelling, combining impressive performance with achievable fuel economy. The X4 appeals to buyers willing to embrace its unconventional formula and those seeking a bolder alternative to traditional SUVs, making it an excellent choice for discerning drivers who refuse to blend into the crowd.
