The G02 BMW X4 is the second and current generation of the BMW X4 line of compact luxury SUV's. It was revealed online on February 2018 as the successor to the F26 X4, with sales commenced in July 2018.[3]

Development and launch

The G02 X4 was developed alongside the G01 X3, on which it is based on.[4] The X4 features dual ball joint front axle and five-link rear axle suspension, and uses BMW's Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform that incorporates aluminium and high strength steel.[5] Compared to its predecessor, the X4 is 50 kg (110 lb) lighter and is 52 mm (2.0 in) taller, 81 mm (3.2 in) longer, and 37 mm (1.5 in) wider.[6]

Equipment

Standard equipment consists of bi-LED headlights, an automatic tailgate, 40:20:40 split folding rear seats, and iDrive 6.0.[7] Models are offered in xLine, M Sport, and M Sport X trim.[8] xLine trim models feature underbody protection, 19-inch alloy wheels and sports seats, while M Sport models include M Sport styling, and M Sport suspension and brakes.[9] M Sport X models include the same features, as well as anthracite headliner and Frozen Grey exterior trim elements.[10] The M40i and M40d also gain a rear M Sport Differential -- a single-clutch electromechanical rear differential which emulates the behavior of a conventional LSD.[11] Optional ConnectedDrive features also enable Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant integration.[12]
