We Recommend

We recommend buying the top-rack, xDrive35i, for additional dazzle and excitement in your crossover. However, the X4 is heavily equipped from its base variant, and hence the buying decision depends on the engine performance. If you’re someone buying the X4 for its extensive list of features, the xDrive28i will also be suitable for you.

The engine that your BMW X4 features will depend on the trim you choose. The base trim of the X4 is available with a 2.0L inline-4 engine that is capable of churning out 240 hp of power and 260 lb.-ft. As standard, both trims of the BMW X4 come channeled as all-wheel-drive variants and are mated to an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission.

The top-rack variant, the xDrive35i, uses a more powerful 3.0L inline-6 unit that is good for 300 hp and 300 lb.-ft of power and torque, respectively. It has the capacity to boost from a still to the 60 MPH mark in 5.2 seconds and can accomplish quarter-mile timings of 13.8 seconds, making it the fastest and quickest car in the segment.

In comparison, the Audi Q5 manages the least power and torque outputs of 272 hp and 295 lb.-ft of torque. The BMW X5 manages similar figures as the BMW X4, however, is slower in both tests. The Audi Q5 falls in between the BMW siblings in terms of performance, it clocks 5.8 seconds in the 60 MPH acceleration test and 14.5 seconds in the quarter-mile run.

The 2015 BMW X4 has been created to be light on the buyer’s pocket. It averages a mileage of 20 MPG in the city and 28 MPG on the highway. Combined, it is capable of averaging segment-leading efficiency of 23 miles per gallon of fuel. However, its fuel tank of 17.7 gallons is the least voluminous in the segment and allows the crossover to cover 354 miles when cruising in the city and 495.6 miles on the highway.

In comparison, both the Audi Q5 and BMW X5 are capable of 21 miles per gallon fuel in combined conditions. Both competitors feature larger tanks, and as a result, are able to trump the X4 when considering the range covered in a single fuel stop. The BMW X5’s fuel tank has a total capacity of 22.4 gallons, while the Audi Q5’s tank of 19.8 gallons is smaller.

The ideology behind BMW’s commanding a place in the buyer’s heart is the prioritization of comfort and safety over everything else, and the X4’s cabin is a result of the same. As soon as you step inside the car, it’s a proper BMW aura, with the leather-wrapped steering wheel, the centrally-placed information gauge, and a system that look as if they were taken from the X5 directly. The visibility angles, while unparalleled at the front, are a bit compromised at the rear owing to the sloping roofline.

But what does work excessively in BMW’s favor are the supremely comfortable seats which make even long-drives disappear in a blink. The upholstery options are well-to-do, however, the rear seats do feel cramped and are best suited for two passengers only. Even in terms of cargo capacity, the BMW X4 stands to lose. Its total volume of 17.7 cubic feet at maximum occupancy is the lowest in the segment, and so is its maximum capacity of 49.4 cubic feet.

In comparison, all three cars have similar front-row space on offer, however, the BMW X5 and Audi Q5 do gain ascendancy in terms of rear-seat passenger space. The cargo capacity on offer with the X5 is the highest in the segment at 76.7 cubic feet, while the Q5 manages 57.3 cubic feet of cargo space. Some interior features include:

•         Keyless Entry
•         Premium Synthetic/Leather Seats
•         Steering Mounted Controls
•         Tilt and Telescopic Steering Wheel
•         Dual Zone Front Climate Control
•         Cruise Control

How intuitive is the 2015 BMW X4’s infotainment system?

The infotainment system on the BMW X4 features a 6.5-inch display screen, which is controlled by a touchpad that sits peacefully on the central console and is connected to BMW’s iDrive interface.

As standard, it comes equipped with hi-tech features like Bluetooth connectivity, AM/FM Stereo, and USB connection. With the optional packages, a rear-view camera can be added to the X4, which gets connected to the display screen and a premium sound system. Some other infotainment features include:

•         12-speaker sound system
•         Radio Data System
•         CD Player
•         Auxiliary Audio Input
•         MP3 Player

Being the latest addition to the brand’s lineup, the BMW X4 is up-to-date, modern, and classy in its design. All lines and curves are gracefully dealt with, while the tapering roofline adds a tad-bit of quirkiness. The BMW X4 follows a similar designing strategy as other crossovers by the brand. The head and tail lights are a unification of aggression and subtleness, while the rear-exhaust tips look robust.

The front grille is one of the largest in the segment, and both tire options, the 18 and 19-inch performance tires look rather impressive. The BMW X4 weighs 4260 lbs making it the lightest crossover in the segment. It is 183.9 inches long, 74.1 inches wide, and 63.9 inches tall. While its ground clearance is not known, the BMW X4 has a wheelbase of 110.6 inches.

In comparison, the BMW X5 is considerably larger than the other two crossovers in the segment. It is the longest, tallest, and widest vehicle with best-in-class ground clearance and wheelbase. It is also the heaviest crossover weighing 4,790 lbs, followed by the Audi Q5 that has a curb weight of 4,400 lbs. Some salient exterior features of the BMW X4 include:

•         M-Sport Package
•         Sun/Moonroof
•         M-Sport Alloy wheels
•         18/19-inch Performance Tires
•         Exhaust Tips
•         HID Headlights

The BMW X4 is heavily equipped even with its base variant. It is safe and reliable and is backed by its long list of safety features and well-to-do ratings. The BMW X4 comes equipped with 4-wheel disc brakes that bestow upon the crossover a decent halting in the deceleration test. As standard, it includes features like brake assist and traction and electronic stability control. With the Driver Assistance Package, other essential safety specifications like a rearview camera and parking sensors can be added to the X4. Some other standout features include:

•         Tire Pressure Monitoring System
•         Post-Collision Safety System
•         Child Safety Locks
•         Engine Immobilizer
•         Daytime Running Lights
•         Electronic Brakeforce Distribution

The BMW X4 has the potential to take the market by storm. It is the most distinctive vehicle on the market, and its powerful and fuel-efficient engine does justice to it. The interior quality is top-notch, and we have no complaints when it comes to infotainment and safety features. While it faces stiff competition in the segment, the BMW X4 has modernity and freshness on its side, and we recommend buying the luxury crossover for its refreshing and lively ride quality.
