The all-new BMW X4 has a lively optional engine together with nimble handling, reviewers say. However, they banknote that it has less rear-seat together with cargo room than virtually rivals have.

The 2015 BMW X4 comes alongside a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. H5N1 turbocharged six-cylinder engine is available, together with reviewers are impressed alongside its rigid might output together with snappy acceleration off the line. An eight-speed automatic transmission is measure alongside both engines, together with attempt out drivers say it delivers seamless, quick shifts. According to the EPA, base of operations 2015 X4 earns 20/28 mpg city/highway, which is average for the class.

The novel 2015 BMW X4 earns praise for its upscale cabin, which reviewers say is attractive together with outfitted alongside high-quality materials. According to reviewers, the X4's front end seats are comfortable together with spacious. However, they complain that its bring upward seats induce got niggling legroom.

EXTERIOR

From the front, the X4 looks a lot similar the X6 – big, bulky grilles everywhere alongside a mentum sitting high of the soil together with a long hood flowing into a slopped windshield. Especially out back, the X6’s heritage is noticeable. The roofline past times the B-pillars is similar no other SUV exterior the BMW line-up. Strangely, the roofline industrial plant inward my opinion, that is until the bring upward drinking glass ends abruptly at the bring upward trunk. This surface area of the X4 - together with fifty-fifty the X6 – has never seems to menstruum simply right. This is where the SUV together with machine combination conflict the most.

In an oddly juxtaposed manner, the bring upward bumper comes adorned alongside dark plastic cladding ordinarily constitute on SUVs simply inches away from a roof ordinarily constitute on a 4-Series. It makes for strange bedfellows, but BMW makes it work. I’m constantly reminded that beauty is inward the optic of the beholder together with aesthetics are subjective.

It is a sensation reinforced past times the bring upward topographic point bench, which comes alongside the type of continuously moulded side supports ordinarily only provided past times 2 private seats, but all the same offers infinite for 3 passengers.

Everyday usability is farther enhanced past times the standard-fitted automatically opening tailgate. This tin forcefulness out live specified equally an alternative alongside the extra convenience of the Smart Opener, which allows it to live opened alongside a displace of the foot. All BMW X4 variants are fitted alongside the Radio Professional alongside iDrive Controller together with fundamental display. Among the features contributing to the flawless ergonomics within the novel BMW X4 is the touch-sensitive surface of the novel iDrive Touch Controller (available inward conjunction alongside the Navigation System Professional), which allows drivers or passengers to utilization their finger to write letters for text inputs - a navigation destination, for example.

The premium character together with exclusivity of the interior are underlined past times selected materials, subtle electroplated accents, a high-gloss black-panel await (in models alongside the two-zone automatic climate command system) together with aluminium trim strips inward the forest panelling. The unmistakable graphic symbol of the BMW X4 is farther highlighted past times a aeroplane of measure equipment fifty-fifty to a greater extent than generous than that constitute on board the BMW X3.

Despite these show-stealing performance figures, the X4 xDrive35i keeps fuel consumption downwardly to 8.3 litres/100 km [34.0 mpg imp], which equates to CO2 emissions of 193 g/km. Even to a greater extent than purposeful is the 180 kW/245 hp turbocharged four-cylinder unit of measurement powering the BMW X4 xDrive28i (fuel consumption urban/extra-urban/combined: 9.3-8.7/6.3-5.9/7.4-7.0 l/100 km [30.4-32.5/44.8-47.9/38.2-40.3 mpg imp]; CO2 emissions combined: 172-162 g/km), which teams upward alongside an eight-speed Steptronic transmission equally measure to make peak torque of 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) together with a 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) fourth dimension of 6.4 seconds.

Indeed, alongside output of 190 kW/258 hp at 4,000 rpm together with peak torque of 560 Nm (413 lb-ft) on current betwixt 1,500 together with 3,000 rpm, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) inward a suitably sporty 5.8 seconds. The BMW X4 xDrive20d is powered past times a newly developed 2.0-litre diesel fuel engine alongside an all-aluminium construction, which achieves injection pressure level of 2,000 bar cheers to mutual rails direct injection alongside solenoid valve injectors.
