“It may not quite match rivals for rear-seat space, but the X4 does deliver a surprisingly dynamic drive – one which you wouldn’t quite expect from a car in this segment.”

“The BMW X4 offers a little extra style over its X3 sibling, but it’s more expensive and sacrifices practicality.” (Jordan Katsianis)

“The BMW X4 is an impressive all-rounder with an endearingly sporting touch. It offers responsive car-like dynamics, impressive mechanical refinement, class-competitive quality and a good deal of space, if not the versatility and everyday ease of use delivered by the more upright X3.”

“The BMW X4 is undoubtedly an engaging car to drive and own but whether you should be considering one will probably hinge on how you perceive its appearance. If you’re a fan, then its extra costs and smaller boot are probably a price worth paying.”

“Although it may not be the best-looking SUV around, the BMW X4 certainly has its merits and offers customers another option in a different niche. The driving setup is surprisingly both sporty and comfortable. Just be careful not to add too many expensive options to it.”

“The BMW X4 possesses many of the great things about the X3 it’s based on – a nice interior, good infotainment and a nice drive.”

“You can’t get away from the fact that the BMW X4 is less practical than its boxy brother, the X3, with which it shares much of its parts and engineering. The semi-coupe styling means less luggage room and the lower ground clearance limits its off-road ability. But so what?”

“Larger, lighter and more powerful, the 2018 BMW X4 is wider and longer than the outgoing model, but weighs 50kg less thanks to the extensive use of aluminium and ultra-high-strength grades of steel.”

“Once you get over the monstrous appearance (some may like it), the BMW X4 is essentially a slightly sportier X3. That means it gets an upmarket interior, although BMW is persevering with button overload and a variety of clashing materials competing for the driver’s attention.”

“Argue against their presence in the market all you want, but the fact of the matter is that, with the new X4, BMW has created a truly sporty SUV to drive, that manages to blend some decent practicality with rather appealing looks. The coupé-SUV might finally have arrived…”
