6 Highly Appealing Aspects of the BMW X4
BMW unveiled its X4 range with some amazing and some not-so-over-the-top upgrades. With all-wheel drive, the car’s interiors are similar to the X3 range. Added features in the car include an eight-speed transmission system with four and six-cylinder systems. The BMW X4’s noticeable features include its sloping roofline and its details. You also get a bigger infotainment system and several color options. Here’s what makes this car a worthy purchase.
Comfort
The BMW X4 offers great comfort, especially for people for whom long road journeys are the norm. The front seats have adjustments that can make driving the X4 all the more comfortable.
Fuel economy
Like most luxury SUVs with four-cylinder engines, the BMW X4 has decent fuel economy stats. According to the EPA, you can expect an average mileage of 21 mpg when driving in the city.
Interiors
One thing we disliked about this car? Our heads are too close to the car’s roof in the rear passenger seats. Of course, that is completely avoidable when you’re paying attention. Despite the low roof, you have ample legroom and headroom. However, you won’t get great visibility with this choice. The small back window offers little visibility, proving to be decorative instead of functional. In such situations, you will find that having a back camera and a blind spot monitoring system is essential for the X4. These two features will help you in and out of tight spaces while also ensuring you do not bump into things.
Performance
Although there’s nothing over the top about the BMW X4, its eight-speed transmission will catch your attention. The system is super responsive, and its bread is quick to react. But the true winner here is the smooth handling. Thanks to the M Sport suspension, you can turn corners, get through curves, and change your speed smoothly. The steering power in the sport mode drives you through curves without difficulty.
Storage
The BMW X4 has decent cargo space to haul your family’s luggage for vacation. Although the sloping roof takes away some of this space, it is barely noticeable. You can add to the space with foldable seats. The rear seats come with levers, making folding them an easier task. You also get interior storage to hold your cups, phones, keys, and other personal items. It also has ample space for small and big car seats. However, for the bigger ones to be latched into place, you might face a little difficulty as the upper attachments are covered by the cargo covering.
Value
Starting price of the BMW X4 xDrive30i is set around $52,800. The price goes up with every trim level. While the X4 M40i retails for around $63,000, the M Competition trim will cost you around $80,000. Of course, if you customize your car for premium features, you will be shelling out a few more dollars. You can choose the right pick by test-driving the various trim levels and comparing their specifications. The touch and dial infotainment center is easy to use and synchronized with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
