Show The BMW X4 is a sleek, sporty luxury SUV for drivers who prioritize style and performance over utility. Pricing starts at $53,400. The BMW X4 is part of the slowly growing SUV “coupe” trend. A coupe is traditionally defined as a car with two doors, but a segment of SUVs with sloping rooflines offer coupe-like styling with a measure of SUV practicality. The BMW X4 is mechanically similar to the more mainstream X3, but its sportier body, standard AWD, and standard M Sport suspension add to its engaging driving experience. However, that sporty roofline means less cargo space than the X3. The chief rivals of the X4 are the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe and Audi Q5 Sportback. 2023 BMW X4 PricingThe 2023 BMW X4 starts at $53,400 for the base xDrive30i model. The X4 M40i starts at $64,650, and the high-performance X4 M begins at $76,400. A $995 destination fee applies to all X4 models. The X4 is priced similarly to its chief rivals, namely the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe and Audi Q5 Sportback. The Infiniti QX55 is a more affordable option in compact luxury SUV “coupes.” Driving the 2023 BMW X4As with most BMW models, the driving experience is one of the highlights of the X4. A lineup of muscular engines mated to a well-tuned chassis with standard M Sport suspension makes for a more exciting drive than the average SUV. The 4-cylinder BMW xDrive30i model strikes a nice balance of performance and efficiency. It should be noted that it still has a below-average fuel economy rating for a compact luxury SUV; nevertheless, it’s the most efficient option in the X4 lineup. This is the right pick for most drivers. Drivers looking for more muscle without the price going through the roof will be interested in the M40i. This is the entry-level to the turbocharged 6-cylinder engine. It packs an impressive punch, and it’s a significant performance upgrade over the base model and only slightly less fuel-efficient, thanks to the mild-hybrid system. Drivers with a big appetite for performance in a luxury SUV should consider the X4 M. The X4 M delivers true sports car-like performance in an SUV with a 0-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds (3.7 seconds with the Competition Package). Frankly, the X4 M is overkill for most luxury SUV shoppers, but it’s worth every penny for the enthusiast with a big budget. Looking for a sporty drive without splurging on the X4 M? The Dynamic Handling Package is optional on the X4 xDrive30i and standard on the M40i. It sharpens the driving experience with M Sport brakes and Dynamic Damper Control, which can adjust the suspension in real time based on driving conditions. This also improves comfort by providing a softer ride on rough roads. Interior ComfortThe interior design of the X4 is clean, uncluttered, and upscale. If you appreciate the simplicity of a proper driver’s car, then you’ll like the understated luxury of the X4’s cabin. Some rivals are more opulent, but the inside of the X4 is comfortable and high-tech, and the controls are easy to use. That sloping roofline that’s one of the main selling points of the X4 does cut into interior space. The X4 has less rear-seat headroom than the X3, and the cargo space is unimpressive for an SUV of this size. If you won’t have passengers in the back regularly, it’s still a reasonably practical SUV with more cargo space than a sedan. A wide range of interior options makes this cabin pretty customizable. You can go the conservative route with black leather or SensaTec. Still, there are some more adventurous interior color options like Tacora Red and Cognac with contrast stitching if you’re looking for something different. Interior trim options include aluminum, open-pore wood, and carbon fiber. Exterior StylingThe exterior of the BMW X4 wears the BMW SUV design language but with the sloping roofline of a coupe. The whole “SUV coupe” idea is a bit controversial, and the look may not be for everyone. But if you’re into coupe-like SUVs, you’ll like the sleek aesthetics of the X4. The look of the X4 changes a bit depending on whether it has the M Sport package, which is optional on the xDrive30i and standard on every other X4. The M Sport package has an aerodynamic body kit, while the standard X4 has a bit of a rugged personality with body cladding and faux skid plates. The size of the BMW X4 is about average for a compact luxury SUV. It’s about the same size as the BMW X3, Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe, and Audi Q5 Sportback. Favorite Features1.

X4 M Engine & TransmissionYou can get the BMW X4 with a 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder engine, both turbocharged. The base 4-cylinder in the xDrive30i model is the most fuel-efficient option and delivers more-than-adequate power and torque for most drivers. The 6-cylinder is available in three different tunings. It starts with the M40i model, which brings a significant upgrade in power and torque compared to the base engine without much of a fuel economy penalty. The X4 M uses a more powerful version of the 6-cylinder engine, and adding the Competition Package pushes it to over 500 horsepower. Every X4 has all-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission. 2.0-liter

We comprehensively experience and analyze every new SUV, car, truck, or minivan for sale in the U.S. and compare it to its competitors. When all that dust settles, we have our ratings. We require new ratings every time an all-new vehicle or a new generation of an existing vehicle comes out. Additionally, we reassess those ratings when a new-generation vehicle receives a mid-cycle refresh — basically, sprucing up a car in the middle of its product cycle (typically, around the 2-3 years mark) with a minor facelift, often with updates to features and technology. Rather than pulling random numbers out of the air or off some meaningless checklist, KBB’s editors rank a vehicle to where it belongs in its class. Before any car earns its KBB rating, it must prove itself to be better (or worse) than the other cars it’s competing against as it tries to get you to spend your money buying or leasing. Our editors drive and live with a given vehicle. We ask all the right questions about the interior, the exterior, the engine and powertrain, the ride and handling, the features, the comfort, and of course, about the price. Does it serve the purpose for which it was built? (Whether that purpose is commuting efficiently to and from work in the city, keeping your family safe, making you feel like you’ve made it to the top — or that you’re on your way — or making you feel like you’ve finally found just the right partner for your lifestyle.) We take each vehicle we test through the mundane — parking, lane-changing, backing up, cargo space and loading — as well as the essential — acceleration, braking, handling, interior quiet and comfort, build quality, materials quality, reliability.
