BMW X4

BMW X4 in Nigeria

The BMW X4 is a swoopy, low-roofline SUV that is smaller than the X6, which pioneered the Sports Activity Coupe style a decade ago. The X4 was introduced for the 2015 model year and has remained unaltered for 2018. A revamped X4 is slated to make its debut in 2019.

The sport-luxury X4 not only has a striking appearance but also has a powerful engine. There are two different models available, both with all-wheel drive. In the X4 xDrive28i, a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine delivers 240 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. That's enough to get you from zero to sixty miles per hour in around six seconds.

The BMW X4 M40i is equipped with a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine that produces 355 horsepower and 343 pound-feet of torque for a more enthralling driving experience. The M40i accelerates from a standstill to 60 mph in less than five seconds. Both models have an 8-speed automatic transmission that performs admirably.

Lineup

The 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine in the 2018 BMW X4 xDrive28i comes with an all-wheel drive. Synthetic leather upholstery, power front seats, 19-inch wheels, adaptive headlights, wood trim, a 6.5-inch infotainment display with Bluetooth connectivity, a power tailgate, and a rearview camera are all included as standard features. Packages for Cold Weather, Premium, and M-Sport are available.

The 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder engine in the M40i is coupled with all-wheel drive and has deeper sport seats, leather upholstery, push-button start, variable dampers, and parking sensors. The M Sport look package is included as standard equipment.

Specifications of this model

Interior

Although BMW's upright X3 crossover, from which the X4 was derived, can comfortably seat five people, the X4 can only fit four. That's because, compared to the X3, the sloping roofline reduces rear-seat headroom by at least 2 inches.

The X4's deep sculpted back-seat indentations for two confirm that it isn't designed for families. Legroom is similarly limited, although headroom is the primary worry.

Driving enjoyment isn't often a strong suit for automobiles in this category. The M40i's inline-six not only excels in power delivery, but it also comes on strong when responses are required and softly backs off when more tranquil driving is desired.

BMW's silky-smooth 8-speed automatic transmission is so well-tuned that it almost seems to anticipate when it will be required to downshift. Even manual-shift enthusiasts are likely to agree with this automatic's abilities.

Do you want to get yours?

Despite its coupe-like roofline, both X4 variants are well-equipped but priced somewhat pricey for what amounts to a compact crossover. Even the entry-level model has wood accents and a more upscale interior. It may be a fair value given its performance, features, extras, and excellent infotainment systems.

Even yet, the X4's slim roofline, which cuts into back-seat headroom, effectively turns it into a two-seater, at least on lengthy journeys. Get yours for the best price on Cars45 right away!
