Check Out the 2019 BMW X4
The BMW X4 is getting a light restyling for 2019, and initially it looks better. I’m not a huge fan of crossovers, or as BMW likes to call them, SAVs, but the new X4 has a more polished, refined appearance than most.
Of course, BMW is trying to make the new X4 out to be some high-performance vehicle. The officially press release goes on and on about things like the “perfect 50:50 weight distribution”, a maximum fording depth of 19.6 inches, and the 19.4-degree breakover angle you’ll definitely want to know about before hitting the trail.
The first X4 model, the xDrive30i, has a starting MSRP of about $50,000. It packs 248 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque. Among the new upgrades are lots of autonomous technologies for when you just have to answer that text message, a big 10.25-inch touchscreen, larger HUD, tri-zone climate control, and a panoramic moonroof.
If you want something really engaging, the M40i version of the X4 can do 0 to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds. It comes with launch control. Just wait until you see one at the local dragstrip. Opting for this one means a starting MSRP of $60,000. Yes, very affordable.
