ABOUT THE BMW X4

The BMW X4 is a sport-focused compact luxury crossover coupe, slotting into a niche segment that trades some practicality for a sleeker, fastback roofline. Aimed at driving-enthusiast buyers who want premium German engineering in a smaller, more athletic package, the X4 competes against vehicles like the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe and Porsche Macan. It has been offered in multiple performance variants across our 2019 to 2024 coverage window.

VERDICT

The 2024 BMW X4 has not been crash-tested by NHTSA, so it carries no Safety Index. Its safety record here is built from 2 recalls and 2 owner complaints on file, giving it a light recall and complaint burden.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAY

Reviewers generally praise the X4 for its sharp, confident driving dynamics and the premium feel of its cabin materials and refinement. The athletic coupe-like styling is frequently highlighted as a genuine differentiator in the segment. Some reviewers note that the sloped roofline reduces rear headroom and cargo space compared to the standard X3, making it a trade-off that suits style-conscious buyers more than purely practical ones.
