The X4 is a direct competitor to similar upcoming projects from other majors like Mercedes-Benz GLK, Audi Q6 and Porsche Cajun. The car, unlike the two door configuration seen in the pictures above, will feature 4 doors as the latter invites more volumes.
The car will be slotted between the BMW X3 and BMW X5 and expectedly will equip X3’s 2.0 litre 4 cylinder turbocharged engine along with BMW xDrive All Wheel Drive technology.
