Introducing The New BMW X4
This SUV takes the higher seating position many drivers want and combines it with a low, sloping roofline that gives the BMW X4 a sharper shape than a conventional family SUV. It still feels easy to place on the road, but it looks and drives with more edge than a boxier alternative.
The latest BMW X4 stands out from older versions because the cabin feels more modern, the driver display is clearer, and the safety and parking technology is easier to use day to day. You also get a stronger link between performance and usability.
When you are ready to experience it for yourself, you can book a test drive with Vertu.

New BMW X4 Safety Features And Rating
· Front collision warning with brake intervention helps reduce the chance of a low-speed front-end impact in traffic.
· Lane departure warning can alert you if the car starts to drift on longer motorway journeys.
· Blind spot monitoring helps when changing lanes in heavier traffic.
· Speed limit information keeps current road signs in the driver display.
· Front and rear parking sensors make the X4 easier to place in tighter spaces.
· Reversing Assistant can help steer the car back along the last stretch you just drove, which is handy in narrow car parks or awkward entrances.
· Parking Assistant can support parallel and bay parking, taking some of the stress out of manoeuvring a wider coupe-SUV.
New BMW X4 Practicality And Space
· Boot space stands at 525 litres, which is enough for a family shop, a folded pushchair, or a few large weekend bags.
· Fold the rear seats down and luggage capacity rises to 1,430 litres, which makes the X4 more useful for bulkier loads.
· The coupe-SUV styling gives you the higher seating position many people like in an SUV, so it is easier to read traffic ahead and judge space in car parks, while the sloping rear roof keeps the overall shape more striking than a traditional upright SUV.
· The rear seat layout works well for everyday family use, with space for adults on normal journeys and a comfortable driving position up front.
· A powered tailgate helps when your hands are full of shopping or luggage.
· Split-folding rear seats make it easier to carry longer items without giving up the whole back row.
New BMW X4 Tech And Convenience
· BMW Live Cockpit Professional gives you a wide digital driver display and central touchscreen that are easy to read at a glance.
· Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it simple to use your own maps, music, and messages without relying on built-in menus for everything.
· Active air flap control and Air Curtains in the front apron help the BMW X4 cut through the air more cleanly, with a drag coefficient of 0.30. In everyday driving, that helps motorway efficiency and can also reduce the amount of wind disturbance you feel at speed.
· On M Sport models, the larger wheels and reshaped bumpers give the X4 a more assertive stance. On M40i and M40d versions, the standard M Sport differential helps the rear axle manage power more cleanly when you accelerate out of roundabouts or wet junctions, so the car feels tidier and more controlled.
· Parking Assistant and a reversing camera make this shape easier to manage in tight spaces than its coupe roofline might suggest.
· Available features such as a head-up display and premium audio on higher specifications make longer journeys more comfortable and less tiring.
Can I Buy A New BMW X4 On Finance?
If you want a more manageable way to move into a premium coupe-SUV, BMW X4 on finance can make the monthly cost easier to plan while still letting you choose the trim and engine that best suits your driving.
The right BMW X4 on finance deal depends on the version you choose, how many miles you cover, and whether you want the flexibility to change the car regularly or keep it for longer:
· PCP stands for Personal Contract Purchase. This can keep monthly payments lower than some other options because part of the cost is deferred to the end of the agreement.
· HP stands for Hire Purchase. This is often a straightforward route if you want to pay towards ownership from the start.
· PCH stands for Personal Contract Hire. This can suit drivers who want to use the car for an agreed term and then hand it back at the end.

Where Can I Buy A New BMW X4?
You can visit a Vertu BMW dealership to explore the new BMW X4 in person, compare trims, and speak with a team that understands the range properly. That matters with a model like this because the difference between an efficient xDrive20d M Sport and a faster M40i or M40d is not just about power. It changes the feel of the car, the running costs, and the day-to-day ownership experience.
At Vertu, you also benefit from expert customer service before and after you buy. That includes help with finance, part-exchange, servicing support, and guidance on choosing the version that fits your mileage and driving habits.
A visit is also a good chance to compare the X4 with other new BMW models, or browse a wider selection of new cars in stock if you are still weighing up your options.
New BMW X4 FAQs
What insurance group is the new BMW X4 in?
Insurance group can vary by engine, trim, and final specification, but BMW X4 models generally sit in higher groups than a standard family SUV. As a guide, xDrive20d M Sport versions are commonly around group 32, while M40i and M40d models tend to sit much higher, often around groups 43 to 45. Optional equipment can affect this, so it is always worth checking the exact car you are considering.
Is the new BMW X4 easy to park in tight spaces?
Yes, it is easier to park than the shape might suggest. Front and rear sensors, a reversing camera, Parking Assistant, and Reversing Assistant all help take the pressure off. The slightly raised seating position also gives you a clearer view when lining up in narrow bays or edging out of awkward spaces.
What warranty cover should I expect on a new BMW X4?
BMW provides a three-year unlimited mileage vehicle warranty on new cars in the UK, along with BMW Roadside Assistance. That gives useful peace of mind if you are buying a new X4 and want reassurance around unexpected issues in the early years of ownership.
Which new BMW X4 trim should I choose?
Choose the BMW X4 M Sport if you want the core look of the car with the best balance of efficiency and price. M40i xDrive makes most sense if you want the smoothness and urgency of a six-cylinder petrol. M40d xDrive suits drivers who cover bigger mileages and want strong mid-range pull without giving away too much in fuel economy.
Are the tech features of the new BMW X4 easy to use?
Yes, the layout is modern but still intuitive. The wide digital display is clear, the menus are structured logically, and smartphone integration means you can lean on familiar apps for music, messages, and navigation. Parking technology is also simple to use, which matters in a car with a wider stance and coupe-style rear view.
Should I choose a fixed or flexible servicing plan for a new BMW X4?
That depends on how you use the car. A flexible approach can suit drivers with mixed mileage because the car monitors condition and service timing as you go. A fixed plan can work well if you want predictable maintenance visits, especially for shorter urban use. Either way, proper BMW servicing is important if you want to keep the X4 performing at its best.
