Both are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and feature stop-start technology which improves fuel economy by shutting the engine off when the car stops. The xDrive28i gets a 240-hp, turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder that makes 260 pounds-feet of torque, while xDrive35i models feature a 300-hp, turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder making 300 pounds-feet of torque. Under the hood, the X4 has two engine options divided by trim level both offer standard all-wheel drive. 19- and 20-inch wheels are available, along with an M Sport styling package the spruces up the exterior even more.

18-inch wheels, LED fog lights, xenon adaptive headlights, a power liftgate, moonroof, and power-folding/heated side mirrors come standard.

BMW calls the pair “sport activity coupes” and they live up to that name, with a shape that cuts off rear cargo room and reduces headroom for rear passengers. Like the larger X6, with which it shares a very similar silhouette, the X4 puts an emphasis on style over function. No word yet on whether or not an X2 is coming, but with the latest automotive trend seeming to be smaller and smaller SUVs it seems to be a “when” rather than an “if.” The X4 is the latest member of its SUV cadre, joining the X1, X3, X5, and X6.
