Official: BMW X4 (F26) SAV Coming to Market
BIMMERPOST NEWS Official: BMW X4 (F26) SAV Coming to Market The long rumored BMW X4 SAV is coming! In an interview with Auto Motor und Sport, BMW CEO Norbert Reithofer confirmed the plans for BMW's newest SAV. The X4 will be positioned above, but based on the X3. It will be 4.65 meters long (183 inches), which is the same length as the X3, and will share the F25 X3's range of engines. But due to its coupe-like styling, the X4 will have less trunk volume - approximately 500 liters less, or 17.6 cu ft. Among other technologies, the X4 will feature AWD x-drive, automatic start-stop, head-up display, and voice control. * The X4 images used in this article are renders only and not based off any spy photo or other confirmed image/info. |

its pretty - so is the X6. I would still choose an X3 over an X4 but thats preference.
right now the X6 is the only ride in that SAV/Coupe class that has good looks and isn't a total eyesore (like the Acura ZDX and Honda accord Crosstour) does it come in deep sea blue?

So who's this for? Although based on the X3, will the X4 be an alternative to those who don't want the mammoth X6 like the X3 is sort of an alternative to the X5?

BUT this does beg the question, why the 3/4 series GT if you are going to have an X4? and what will be the price point, right in between the X3 and X5 which is pretty close already? Guess BMW wants the strategy of capturing every segment and every $ they can, have $59K to spend, well a fully loaded X3 35i is ~$55K, and a X5 35i is ~$62K (with same options) so lets make a X4 to fit in there |

it might sound far fetched now but judging by the amount of models BMW is releasing, and how no stone is left unturned it might not be impossible
