Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Porsche announced that the 2021 Cayenne Coupe will add a sporty GTS model. It uses a version of the twin-turbo 4.0-liter that powers the mighty Cayenne Turbo, generating 453 horsepower rather than the Turbo's 541. The new model also has dark exterior accents, a lowered suspension, and other performance hardware and premium features.

PROS
Perhaps the prettiest fastback SUV,
drives more like a 911 than a crossover,
diverse powertrain choices.

CONS
Base models have less luxury,
all models have less cargo space than their SUV cousins,
large wheels affect ride quality.

By: 
caranddriver.com

For 2021 New GTS trim level that slots between the S and the Turbo.GTS has a 453-hp V8 and some extra performance upgrades.

PROS
Impressive handling for a crossover SUV
Wide selection of powerful engines available
Exquisite interior and build quality
Plenty of customization options

CONS
Quite a few optional features should be standard given the price tag
Gloss-black interior panels can look dirty almost immediately
Poor visibility out of the rear
Fans are weak at low speeds and noisy at high speeds

PROS
Athletic handling
Powerful engines
Elegant interior
Generous features list

CONS
Small cargo hold
Console and dashboard controls can be distracting
High base price

The 2020 BMW X4 offers powerful engine performance, lithe handling, and an upscale cabin with user-friendly features, but it trails the competition in terms of interior space. This luxury compact SUV does not have an overall score or ranking because it hasn’t been fully crash tested.

Pros
Enjoyable ride and handling
Potent turbocharged engines
User-friendly infotainment system
Handsome interior

Cons
Snug rear headroom
Below-average cargo capacity

By: 
usnews.com

Fresh off its 2019 redesign, the X4 carries over into 2020 with minimal changes. The biggest news is that the twin-turbo six-cylinder of the M40i gets a serious boost in power, from 355 to 382. Base models add BMW's Comfort Access system as standard equipment. This system allows you to access the vehicle without removing the key fob from your pocket.

Pros
Snazzy exterior design,
good fuel economy,
entertaining driving dynamics from both trim levels.

Cons
Stingy cargo capacity relative to that of rival crossovers,
slim selection of standard driver-assistance features,
Android Auto is conspicuously absent.

By: 
caranddriver.com

No significant changes for 2020.Part of the second X4 generation introduced for 2019.

Pros
Both available engines are smooth, powerful and fuel-efficient
Easy personalization thanks to abundant standard and optional features
Impressive handling for an SUV

Cons
Sloping roofline compromises rear headroom and cargo space
Android Auto is not available
Pricey when fully optioned
