The G02 X4 was developed alongside the G01 X3, on which it is based on.[4] The X4 features dual ball joint front axle and five-link rear axle suspension, and uses BMW's Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform that incorporates aluminium and high strength steel.[5] Compared to its predecessor, the X4 is 50 kg (110 lb) lighter and is 52 mm (2.0 in) taller, 81 mm (3.2 in) longer, and 37 mm (1.5 in) wider.[6]
Equipment
Standard equipment consists of bi-LED headlights, an automatic tailgate, 40:20:40 split folding rear seats, and iDrive 6.0.[7] Models are offered in xLine, M Sport, and M Sport X trim.[8] xLine trim models feature underbody protection, 19-inch alloy wheels and sports seats, while M Sport models include M Sport styling, and M Sport suspension and brakes.[9] M Sport X models include the same features, as well as anthracite headliner and Frozen Grey exterior trim elements.[10] The M40i and M40d also gain a rear M Sport Differential—a single-clutch electromechanical rear differential which emulates the behavior of a conventional LSD.[11] Optional ConnectedDrive features also enable Apple CarPlay and Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant integration.[12]
