The 2021 BMW X4 is a crossover worth coveting, though our money would be on the more practical, cheaper, and really not much different X3.
Pros Willing turbocharged engines Balanced handling Excellent interior tech Lots of available safety gear M versions especially fun
Cons Mega price tag So-so cargo space So-so rear-seat human space Style not for everyone
Newly standard equipment includes SiriusXM satellite radio, Android Auto compatibility, and several driver-assistance features. There are also some changes to the various option packages.The M40i’s turbocharged inline-six is impressive, but the 30i’s turbo four-cylinder provides plenty of power.
Pros Entertaining to drive, two powerful engine choices, design-forward exterior.
Cons Costs more than the X3, less cargo space than X3, tighter on rear-seat room than X3.
No significant changes for 2021.
