2025 BMW X4

Price Range: $55,300 - $66,700

Very Good

Thanks to its sleek fastback-style roof, the X4 will appeal to people who think the related X3 is too dull and predictable. You lose some utility in the process, and you have to pay more compared to the X3, but overall the X4 succeeds in its mission to be a stylish and sporty SUV.Read full review

Overview

by the Edmunds Experts

Updated: 9/10/2025

The 2025 BMW X4 is a more stylish and slightly space-compromised version of the previous-generation (2018-2024) BMW X3. This midsize SUV gets a tapering rear roofline that gives it a fastback shape and more aggressive look than its squareback brother — at the expense of some rear headroom and cargo space. But the X4 isn't refreshed for 2025 like the X3, so it lacks that SUV's updated styling and revised engines.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Very Good

7.2

out of 10

We drove the 2025 BMW X4 on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Driving experience

6.9/10

How does the BMW X4 drive? We tested the xDrive30i. It doesn't sprint off the line with a whole lot of verve, but once you're rolling there's plenty of zip. Our four-cylinder test car didn't break any records on its way to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds, but we like the eight-speed transmission's responsiveness.

The X4's brakes react quickly and are smooth and easy to use in regular driving. It's also composed through quick corners and curves. The steering inspires confidence when breezing through twistier sections of road.

While the X4's ride is taut, it shrugs off rough roads reasonably well. It's also pretty quiet.

Visibility is pretty compromised all around and especially out of the narrow back window, which is more decorative than useful. A nice high-resolution backup camera helps for low-speed maneuvering and parking, but you'll definitely want to make the most of the X4's blind-spot warning system on the highway or around town.

Comfort

6.7/10

How comfortable is the BMW X4? The X4's seats are firm, supportive and great for long stints behind the wheel. Multiple adjustments for the front seats include thigh extenders and inflatable side bolsters, ensuring a good fit for most body types.

It's also pretty quiet inside. There's a touch of wind noise, but the smooth ride, zesty engine and hushed interior make it easy to drive the X4 deceptively fast. It's easy to exceed the speed limit without realizing it.

It's a bit treacherous for rear passengers to get in and out — the swooping roofline is all too eager to knock your noggin on the way in if you're not paying attention — but there's a sufficient amount of room in back once you're seated. The rear seat cushions are low and flat, which helps reclaim some headroom lost to the roofline. There's a bit less legroom than in the average SUV in this segment, though it's not too noticeable. Child seats, even large ones, will fit pretty easily, although securing the top tethers requires removing the cargo cover first.

In-cabin tech

9.7/10

How’s the tech? The combination of touchscreen and dial controls makes exploring infotainment menus a breeze. The nav system is easy to use and the graphics are tack-sharp, although voice commands offer limited usefulness.

The X4 is also packed with device support, including multiple USB-C ports, front and rear, wired and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, an optional wireless charging pad, and the My BMW app for remote features like lock/unlock and vehicle status. It also offers the BMW Digital Key Plus, allowing you to enter and drive your car by using your phone as a key.

Storage & cargo

7.7/10

How’s storage and cargo? Some overall cargo space is lost because of the sloping roofline (compared to the X3), but there's still a decent amount of room as well as additional flexibility with the 40/20/40-split folding rear seats. Our test car also came equipped with sliding cargo rails and tie-downs. Multiple levers release the rear seats to fold down automatically. Plenty of interior storage helps with keeping phones and personal items close at hand.

The X4, with a factory towing hitch, tows up to 4,400 pounds. That's class-leading, matching the Audi Q5 and surpassing the Mercedes GLC, Genesis GV70 and Infiniti QX55.

Value

7.1/10

Is the BMW X4 a good value? Other competitors offer more dazzling interior design, but the X4 still makes a statement of quality with tight construction and solid controls. It's an old-school approach that looks good. The X4 is priced competitively with its German peers and offers a ton of options to suit a variety of tastes and needs. Its warranty also hews closely to coverage offered by the others.

MPG

5/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the xDrive30i gets 24 mpg in combined city/highway driving, which aligns with most other four-cylinder luxury SUVs. We also ran our X4 through our mixed-driving real-world evaluation route. It returned 23 mpg, which is a bit below what we'd expect.

X factor

7/10

Although it looks faster and sportier than it is, the X4 offers enough BMW handling goodness and ride comfort to make spirited drives a good time. The X4's shape is recognizable and it has enough style to turn heads in the valet line. It's a niche offering, but it excels at what BMW set out for it to be.

2025 BMW X4 trim level differences

The 2025 BMW X4 is a compact luxury crossover, and though it has four doors, it is sometimes referred to as an SUV coupe. It comes in xDrive30i and M40i trim levels. You can also get a high-performance X4 M, which we review separately. Compare the 2025 BMW X4 trim levels in-depth.

Which X4 trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you've opted for the shaplier but slightly space-compromised X4 over the roomier and more stoic X3, we say go ahead and spring for the sportier powertrain as well. We like X4 M40i for its more powerful engine and adaptive suspension.

Competitors to consider

Most rival manufacturers offer a slope-back competitor to the X4. They include Audi's Q5 Sportback, Infiniti's QX55 and the Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe. Porsche's Macan might also be worth considering. And those are just the gas-powered options. The X4's electric competition includes the Tesla Model Y and Genesis GV60. Be sure to read our full Expert Rating below for all the details.

Edmunds spotlight: All about that space

If you're considering the X4 over the X3 because you prefer its styling and an interior space compromise isn't a big deal, then here are the numbers you need to consider: Cargo volume takes the biggest hit, especially against the newly redesigned X3, which offers 13 additional cubic feet of space with its rear seats up. Drop the seats and the X3 extends its space advantage to 16.6 cubic feet. The new X3 also offers an additional inch of rear headroom and almost another inch of rear legroom over the X4. Exterior dimensions between the two SUVs are a virtual wash.

2021 BMW X4 M40i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

The ride is smooth. However in sport plus on regular streets will snap you back a bit. The exterior styling is great and you will get looks and comments. Not a true M Car but the M40i makes more sense for a daily driver. X4 M40i and X4M 0-60 times are too close to justify paying $10,000 more for the privilege of driving an M car

Great ride

We had an 2014 x3. It was time to get a new car and we decided on a new x4. This suv is amazing. Every thing about it says "nice". Enough power, beautiful interior and just the right amenities.

2022 BMW X4 xDrive30i 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

My wife wanted something roomy and practical that doesn’t look like everybody else’s Mom SUV. We’ve had two BMWs and a Mercedes. We drove the X3, which had a great, familiar feel. The 2022 X4 is a step up - a beefier, heavier ride. Fair amount of room in the back seat and hatch. Nice high-end interior with a big infotainment system. We are very happy with it.

I’ve owned my 2022 X4 for 5 months now and loving this SUV. Beginning with the interior, so refined and no detail overlooked. Beats even the Porsche Macan for comfort and interior design.
