Read on to learn more about the 2021 BMW X4 M.
The interior design of the BMW X4 is super elegant and well-crafted, with fancy materials like leather and wood. It's got this sleek and modern vibe, you can comfortably fit up to five people inside, and the front seats are all power-adjustable for those long drives. Just a heads up, though - the rear seats might be a bit snug for taller folks because of the sloping roof. Tech-savvy drivers will appreciate the X4 M's standard features, which include a panoramic sunroof, Android Auto, and SiriusXM satellite radio. You're always connected, entertained, and in control. The X4 M’s technology keeps you comfortably at the helm of your journey, whether you’re navigating through the city or cruising down the open road.
The 2021 BMW X4 M's exterior is an unapologetic declaration of its dynamic personality, successfully merging the muscularity of an SUV with the sleek profile of a sports coupe. The car's confident stance is accentuated by its broad shoulders, aggressive front grille, and a distinctive roofline that slopes towards the rear in a sophisticated arch. Its wide wheel arches house 20-inch M light-alloy wheels, hinting at the vehicle's impressive performance capabilities. The X4 M's athletic aura is further amplified by its aerodynamic design and striking M rear spoiler. Not to forget, the iconic quad tailpipes, that roar into life when the engine comes alive, cementing its status as a high-performance machine. The full-LED headlights and taillights add a touch of modernity and safety to the mix. Whether it's standing still or cutting through the wind, the 2021 BMW X4 M's exterior design is a visual testament to its exhilarating performance. It’s not just a car, it’s a statement on wheels.
Tucked under the hood is a turbocharged inline-six engine that roars with an impressive 473 horsepower. It's truly awe-inspiring! But, for those with a penchant for more power, there's the Competition model which turns the dial up a notch to a hair-raising 503 horsepower. Mated to this engine is an eight-speed automatic transmission that shifts smoothly and swiftly, ensuring you're always in the right gear to exploit its mighty power. The standard all-wheel-drive system is not just there for show; it provides excellent grip, allowing the X4 M to accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in a staggering 4.0 seconds. Every press of the accelerator sends a surge of adrenaline coursing through your veins, as the engine's sonorous symphony fills the air. The 2021 BMW X4 M's engine performance is the epitome of BMW's engineering prowess – it's robust, reliable, and absolutely riveting.
When it comes to fuel efficiency, the 2021 BMW X4 M presents a mixed bag. The EPA estimates it to deliver 14 mpg in city driving, 19 mpg on the highway, and a combined efficiency of 16 mpg, which, to the untrained eye, might come across as underwhelming for a high-performance SUV. However, let's keep things in perspective here. Its competitors, the V-8-powered GLC63 Coupe and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio, boast higher ratings at 22 mpg and 23 mpg on the highway respectively. But here is where the X4 M Competition pulls a rabbit out of the hat! It outperforms these EPA estimates in real-world conditions, proving that it's not just a high-performance SUV, but also a practical day-to-day vehicle. So, while the X4 M may not be the poster child for fuel economy, it definitely doesn't disappoint when it matters most.
While the 2021 BMW X4 M hasn't undergone crash testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), one can garner a sense of its safety credentials based on its sibling, the X3. The X3 bagged five stars from NHTSA and was even named a Top Safety Pick+ by IIHS. As they share a similar design and features, it's plausible that the X4 M would perform similarly well in safety tests. What we can firmly count on are the X4 M’s safety features. The BMW Active Driving Assistant package, included as standard, offers features like forward-collision warning and low-speed automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, automatic high-beams, and speed limit info. BMW ensures your safety is never compromised, even as you push the boundaries of performance. However, if you want to level up, more advanced technology, such as adaptive cruise control and a head-up display, are available optionally. With the X4 M, BMW demonstrates that thrill and safety can coexist beautifully.
The 2021 BMW X4 M is seriously impressive. If you want an SUV that brings the heat in terms of performance, looks absolutely killer, and spoils you with top-notch tech, then this is the ride for you. Sure, it may have a bit of a hefty price tag, and the fuel economy won't make Mother Nature do cartwheels, but then, it's a high-performance machine, not a Prius! As they say, "With great power, comes slightly higher fuel bills." You'll also appreciate the confidence of standout safety features, even if the results from the big safety organizations are still pending a test drive. So, would we recommend the 2021 BMW X4 M? Absolutely! It's like that deliciously wicked dessert you know you shouldn't have, but you just can't resist. It's the 'bad boy' of SUVs – rebellious, charming, and oh-so-irresistible. If you're in the market for a car that makes a bold statement, the X4 M is ready to say it loud with its roaring quad tailpipes.
