2020 BMW X4 M, Spy Shots, Interior

The early success of the X4 crossover leads to the new generation after just four years. Launched in 2018, it is still fresh, so there won’t be a need for cosmetic modifications. On the other hand, upgrades under the hood are always welcome. We can already see performance-oriented M versions prototypes on streets. Soon, these will be part of the 2020 BMW X4 lineup. Besides this, we heard the hybrid drivetrain is on the way for next season.

The 2020 BMW X4 keeps dimensions very similar to its X3 sibling. It is kind of a coupe version. The X5 and X6 are using a similar relation. So, the X4 is a more aggressive crossover which pays the price with less space in the trunk. The rear row also comes with a shortage of headroom. On the other hand, the starting price is higher than for X3. The X4 is loaded with the latest infotainment systems. Fans of premium crossovers will definitely give it a chance in 2020.

There will be two available drivetrains for the 2020 BMW X4. The xDrive30i is the base setup and uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder drivetrain. Of course, turbochargers will provide more power and torque. As you probably know, xDrive shows the four-wheel drive setup. That is the only possible configuration. A six-speed automatic transmission is smooth and improves the fuel economy of the X4 crossover. For the next season, engineers target 30 mpg highway mileage. The sport activity coupe can deliver 240 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. That is almost 10 ponies less than X3. Still, X4 creates 2 pound-feet more than its sibling.

The other drivetrain for this model is a 3.0-liter V6. It uses the same transmission and drives system. It is called M40i and engine is ready to burst 355 hp and 343 lb-ft of torque. We must compare it to X3 again. Power output is the same, while the twisting power for X4 is 25 pound-feet shorter. The performance-oriented package is not harming fuel economy so significantly. A price of 1-2 mpg worse mileage is fair for a gain of 115 ponies.

The 2020 BMW X4 will share many things in common with its closest sibling X3. The German carmaker confirmed the arrival of a hybrid engine for its flagship models in crossover and SUV classes. Besides the X3, the X5 is also getting this drivetrain. We are sure that X4 and X6 will share hybrid units with their non-coupe siblings. A 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine will be the base for upgrades. After the tuning and pairing with electric batteries, the system will be able to create 280 hp. Plug-in variant is going to offer a range of 40 miles driving it only on electric power. Finally, an all-electric BMW iX3 is also an option.
