BMW X4
Sharing its architecture and most of its components with the X3, the BMW X4 is a compact luxury SUV with an athletic stance and coupe-like profile. Of course, that means cargo capacity isn’t as generous. The second generation of the X4 debuted in North America as a 2019 model, so a mid-cycle update is in store for 2022. For performance enthusiasts, BMW offers the M40i and M Competition models, the latter packing 503 horsepower.
