Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Wi-Fi hotspot now standard,no other significant changes for 2021.

Pros
Tremendously powerful six-cylinder engine
Grip and handling are excellent
Sleeker styling than the related X3 M

Cons
Excessively stiff ride
Rear headroom is a bit tight
Sloping roofline compromises cargo space and visibility

By: 
edmunds.com

Like several other BMWs, the X4 M gains Android Auto and SiriusXM satellite radio as standard features for the 2021 model year. Otherwise, the flashy fastback SUV remains unchanged.

Pros
Abundance of horsepower,
impressively quick acceleration,
deft handling.

Cons
Stiff suspension can be harsh over bumps,
not as practical as X3 M,
polarizing rear styling.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Balanced power delivery
Impressive grip and balance
Fun on tap in 4WD Sport setting
Transmission refinement

Cons
Punishing ride
Only subtly different next to regular X4
Not as pointed as a full-fledged M4

By: 
caradvice.com.au

Pros
Things we like
Good electric/hybrid handover
Fuel and battery efficiency
Build quality
Not so much

Cons
Hefty price
Compromised load area
Under-servoed brakes
Paranoid parking assistance

By: 
whichcar.com.au

The X3 has never done BMW much credit, but the current one is a thorough enough job to take on the class best.

Pros
Good ride and handling,
fine engines,
well-finished cabin,
many high-tech options

Cons
Note that word 'options'. And the steering is a bit numb,
not helped by the thick steering wheel

By: 
topgear.com

PROS
Good power and response in hybrid mode
Premium styling and high-quality cabin
Plenty of space for adults front and rear

CONS
Not a lot of grunt in EV mode
Short real-world EV range
Battery packaging impedes on cargo space
