The 2022 BMW X4 crossover goes back for styling seconds: you’ll have to judge whether it’s worth the calories.

Pros
Willing turbocharged engines
Balanced handling
Scalding M performance
Excellent interior tech
Lots of available safety gear

Cons
Style not for everyone
So-so rear-seat human space
So-so cargo space
Mega M price tag

By: 
thecarconnection.com

Updated styling elements mark the 2022 model year for the X4. BMW has tweaked the grille, the bumpers, exterior lighting elements, and wheel designs this year and has reworked the X4's center console. The hot M40i model gains a 48-volt hybrid system and larger 12.3-inch infotainment and gauge displays are now standard.

Pros
Nicely balanced chassis,
powerful turbocharged engine options,
cool fastback exterior styling.

Cons
Snug rear seat space,
cargo room not as generous as X3's,
sober interior styling.
