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 distinctive coupe-SUV that deliberately sacrifices some practicality for bold styling and driver 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. With a maximum boot space of 1,430 litres with seats folded, it remains genuinely practical despite its unconventional design. The range spans from the entry-level xDrive20d with 190hp to the performance-focused M Competition with 510hp, capable of 0-62mph in just 4.1 seconds.

All X4s feature standard xDrive all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission, with M Sport suspension tuning that emphasises driver enjoyment over pure practicality. The xDrive30d strikes an excellent balance, delivering sparkling performance with a 5.8-second 0-62mph time whilst achieving over 40mpg in real-world driving. Running costs vary considerably across the range, with the entry-level diesel returning 42.2-45.6mpg and CO2 emissions of 153-168g/km. All models exceed the £40,000 threshold for standard road tax rates. BMW's dealer servicing can be managed via monthly payment plans, though connected services require subscriptions after three years.

Best for: Buyers seeking distinctive styling, driver-focused handling, and those who prioritise bold aesthetics over maximum practicality; performance enthusiasts considering the M Competition variant.

Not ideal for: Those requiring maximum boot space, buyers seeking plug-in hybrid options, or those wanting a small petrol engine alternative.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the X4 if: You value distinctive styling, driver-focused handling, and are willing to accept slightly reduced practicality for bold aesthetics; or you're seeking performance thrills in a more useful package than traditional M cars.

Consider alternatives if: You require maximum boot space, desire plug-in hybrid options, or prefer conventional SUV proportions with greater practicality.

Competitive Position: The BMW X4 (2018-present) occupies a unique position in the coupe-SUV segment, offering striking design and engaging driving dynamics at a competitive price point. Whilst the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class and Range Rover Evoque offer higher user satisfaction ratings and better value percentages, the X4 delivers superior performance credentials, particularly with the xDrive30d engine. The Porsche Macan commands higher user ratings but at a premium price. For buyers prioritising driver engagement and distinctive styling over maximum practicality, the X4 represents a compelling choice that doesn't compromise on performance or quality.
