The relation between X4 and X3 crossovers is the same as the one between X5 and X6. A vehicle with the larger number is the coupe version of the model with an odd number in its name. The upcoming 2021 BMW X4 could bring a lot of changes. The coupe crossover was introduced in 2018. After the break in all automotive premieres, we might see the first update of the X4. Two major reasons for that are dropping sales and the competition. The redesign will definitely increase the interest in BMW’s vehicle. On the other hand, there are no too many rivals in this segment, and the German manufacturer wants to cement its position.
Ever since its arrival, the X4 made a lot of intrigues. Somehow, fans expected the X3 to go the same way as X5 and X6. Now, there is also the X7 and we believe the X8 is the next new model by BMW. Meanwhile, the carmaker will redesign and update existing X- crossovers and SUVs lineup. Besides visual changes, one of the biggest questions is electrification. The iX3 is on the way, as well as the iX5. Well, there are a few reasons to believe in 2021 BMW X4 hybrid or electric model.

Why Buy the 2021 BMW X4? And Why Not?
Pros: the 2021 BMW X4 will be an all-new model with a fresh look. That is enough for most fans to wait for an upcoming vehicle. Also, the crossover will update the interior, and besides the new layout, we will also find a lot more cool features. The X4 is already a luxurious model, and BMW is ready to take it to another level. Besides the styling, you can expect, as always, powerful drivetrains. The X4M is something worthy of investing. The high-output version is the top of the class model. We can also be sure of superb handling, driver-aid features, and high-quality materials.
Cons: the price. BMW is a premium carmaker and all the advantages it offers cost a lot. Plus, all the optional packages are making the MSRP of the X4 pretty hefty. Attractive coupe chassis has its downsides – the lack of headroom for passengers in the rear row, and less space in the trunk. Android Auto is still not offered by the company, while Apple CarPlay should become standard for the 2021 BMW X4. For now, you must subscribe to this service.
2021 BMW X4 M
The ultimate version of the 2021 BMW X4 is the M Performance model. A 3.0-liter inline-six engine is turbocharged. It is hard that the new version will pump up more power since the current edition sits at 503 hp. The restyling will make the X4 more aerodynamic and lighter, dropping the 0-60 mph sprint time under 4 seconds. Also, there is a lot of additional equipment that will make the package very expensive. Heavily loaded, the X4M will reach $75,000. Add the Competition bundle and pay nearly $8,000 over the starting price.

Specs
Well, a 500-hp version is not the only one. Only a small number of buyers go after this model. The base crossover is equipped with a 2.0 flat-four unit capable of producing 250 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. Even with it, the 2021 BMW X4 will be one of the most potent compact crossovers. However, engineers are not stopping there and improve the offer with the M40i package. The centerpiece of this bundle is a 3.0-liter inline-six drivetrain. However, in this case, it can produce “only” 382 ponies and 365 pound-feet. BMW exploits a six- or eight-speed automatic transmission. Even the smaller crossover is pretty quick. Its 0-60 acceleration time is 4.9 seconds, while the I6 cuts 0.5 seconds.
BMW iX4 All-Electric Crossover
After the iX3, we could see the new EV in dealerships. Well, the redesign needs to provide the platform that can support the electric drivetrain. However, the gain would be massive, since the battery is good for 250 miles of range on X3. The 2021 BMW X4 would be lighter and could boost the distance between recharges. Still, the coupe crossover would need a lot of other upgrades, especially on the dashboard.
If the X4 goes electric, the company will also deliver the autonomous drive system. Well, BMW is very ambitious. Chiefs announced the development of Level 4. Still, current driver-aid features are pretty cool. You will get parking sensors, a 360-degree camera, lane departure assist. However, the upcoming system will add auto brakes and throttle, and even the auto parking option. Level 4 is a nearly self-driving car. The German carmaker will skip all the lower levels and try to introduce a radical change in the luxury segment.

2021 BMW X4 Price
The 2021 BMW X4 will cost the same as it costs now. There is no room for the price bump, especially with the upcoming crisis due to COVID-19 outburst. The premium compact crossover is already above $50,000 and the M40i costs $61,000. This one might add a bit of value for the next season.
