2020 BMW X4 Review, Ratings, Specs, Prices, and Photos

The change in priorities from sporty luxurious sedans to sporty luxurious crossovers for BMW is complete, the 2020 X4 is proof. BMW buffs and manufacturer loyalists might obtain that tricky to swallow, but at least the X4 has a sleek form to aid the drugs go down much easier. 

This yr, the X4 provides to its repertoire even far more M badges: the X4 M and X4 M Levels of competition. We’re not confident what the latter basically competes in, except if it’s a race to empty shoppers wallets. The 2020 X4 expenditures at least $fifty two,000 and the M Levels of competition can run up toward $ninety,000. 

The X4 receives a 6.6 TCC Ranking, which skews toward base variations. Decide for nearly anything with an M badge on it and that score would be larger. (Study far more about how we price cars.)

This yr the X4 is offered in base configuration, M40i variations or top rated X4 M styles. 

Like all coupe-leaning crossovers (see Mercedes-Benz GLC-Course and Audi’s Sportbacks), the X4 eschews practicality for outright style. The BMW is a good-looker from the outdoors, complete with a racy roofline that cuts into offered head place in the rear as opposed to the X3, which is linked. (If you are hunting for a far more conventional crossover, start out there.) 

We’d suggest grabbing the keys anyway since every X4 is a joy to generate. Base X4 xDrive30i crossovers get a stellar two.-liter turbo-4 that would make 248 horsepower that drives all 4 wheels by way of a telepathic 8-speed automated. The X4 M40i subs in a 382-hp turbo-6 that outruns our braveness, mated to the similar all-wheel-generate technique and 8-speed automated. 

If that’s not plenty of, or if your meds have run out, the X4 M and X4 M Levels of competition make 473 and 503 hp, respectively. BMW says they’ll sprint up to 60 mph in about 4 seconds, but far more impressively, they deal with just as nicely as any other sport sedan they’ve bought. 

Just about every X4 receives a 4-wheel impartial suspension that’s tuned for carving corners far more than comfort adaptive dampers just screw all those wheels down tighter. 

The X4 won’t be baffled for a simple sedan with rear seat leg place on par with a tiny hatchback. There’s not a lot place for cargo both: just 17 cubic feet, which is about the dimensions of a mid-dimensions sedan’s trunk. For the concession in material, the X4 pays off in spades with style. 

Just about every crossover receives automated emergency braking, and BMW’s fantastic driver-guidance technique is on the solutions checklist. 

There’s tiny to want in base styles: every X4 receives all-wheel generate, 19-inch wheels, artificial leather upholstery, a twelve.three-inch digital instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, a ten.three-inch touchscreen for infotainment with Apple CarPlay compatibility, electricity-adjustable entrance seats, a electricity liftgate, two USB ports, and a 4-yr/50,000-mile in depth guarantee with a few yrs of upkeep incorporated.

BMW rates far more for just about almost everything else, since BMW.
