2021 BMW X4 Values & Cars for Sale | Kelley Blue Book

The 2021 BMW X4 is based on the X3 premium compact SUV/crossover. The most obvious place where they differ is around the back.

The X3 is the sensible one, with a conventional SUV profile and plenty of headroom for both rows of seating. The X4 is the stylish one, sacrificing some usefulness for fastback flair. Yes, it’s the coupe aesthetic applied to a 4-door crossover.

In common with the smaller X2 and larger X6, the X4’s more extrovert nature comes at extra cost. The xDrive30i is $6,600 more than a comparable X3. Generally speaking, though, the X4 range is in the same financial ballpark as its only real rival, the Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe.

The X4 still has respectable space for people and their gear, as well as punchy engines and athletic abilities to get everyone and everything where they need to go without dawdling. And all X4 models come with all-wheel drive as standard, making them suitable for virtually any conditions.
