Product Overview

BMW X4 G02 is a compact crossover in production from 2018 to 2020, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.
Based on the G01 BMW X3, the G02 X4 has equally benefited from BMW's new B-series engine lineup with a revised, closed-deck design. Most notably, the B58 engine co-engineered with Toyota is believed by some enthusiasts to be the spiritual successor to the legendary 2JZGTE.
Chassis-wises, BMW also added double-wishbone front suspensions to pair with multi-link rears, another giant leap from the Mk1 X4.
Unfortunately, the X4 is still a hunchback crossover that answers a question nobody asks.

External Reviews

autocar[1]

Reviewer score 59% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from autocar have found:
The X4 looks practically identical to its X3 sister car. You sit a touch lower in the cabin, but the infotainment, dash layout and digital instrument binnacles are all recognisable from the more conventionally shaped SUV. The sloping roofline can be an issue here, too; although there’s 525 litres of seats-up storage space on offer, it does mean large boxes (or chests of drawers) can be a bit of a struggle to fit in.
Pros
  • Sleek looks
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Good standard equipment
Cons
  • Sloping roofline
  • Lacklustre infotainment system

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:
4.1 seconds to 62mph from standstill is absurd in a near two tonne SUV, and the way the X4 M Competition surges forwards under full throttle really doesn't leave the performance aspect of this car to question. The 503bhp power output is what you'll get from the V8 powered Mercedes GLC 63 S and the slightly deeper, 2.9-litre V6 turbocharged Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio. The adaptive M Sport exhaust system is standard kit on the Competition, and by and large you can wring out a sweet yelp from the 3.0- litre unit as it heads towards its redline.
Pros
  • Fun, unhinged V8 engine
  • Comfortable to drive
Cons
  • Not the most fun to drive
