2024 BMW X4

  • The 2024 BMW X4 is in stock here at BMW of Owings Mills, MD and starts at $55,000
  • Many wonder if a new BMW X4 will be available for the 2025 model year.
  • However, BMW has confirmed that the X4 will be discontinued, but will return as an all-electric crossover: the iX4

As BMW continues to update its extensive lineup, one question looms: Is the BMW X4 SUV being discontinued? The answer, un(fortunately) is a yes. The BMW X4, known for its sleek design and heart-pounding performance, will not see another generation. Here’s what you need to know.

The Reasoning Behind the X4’s End

It’s official. BMW has confirmed that the X4 will be phased out after its current iteration. The arrival of the larger, and more refined second-generation X2 played a significant role in this decision. The X2’s new design and features have made it a more viable option for compact SUV shoppers, reducing the need for the X4 in BMW’s lineup. The price difference between the X2 and X4 is also becoming smaller, confusing many BMW fans and shoppers as to which SUV fits their needs and lifestyles.

Production Timeline

While BMW hasn’t specified an exact end date for the X4, it is expected that production will cease around 2025. The revamped X3 is set to start deliveries in late 2024, indicating that the X4 won’t be around much longer. The X4’s production will likely continue for a short period alongside the new X3, but it won’t extend beyond 2025.

BMW X4 Future Potential

Although the combustion-engine X4 is being discontinued, BMW has plans for an all-electric successor. A fully electric iX4 is anticipated to debut around 2027, built on the Neue Klasse platform. The electrified X4 is part of BMW’s broader strategy to introduce at least six EVs on this new platform by 2028. The iX4 will follow the iX3, slated for 2025, and the i3 sedan, expected in 2026.

The discontinuation of the BMW X4 marks the end for the sporty SUV, at least in its ICE form. However, BMW’s evolving lineup, including the new X2, X3, and the upcoming iX4, promises plenty of options for BMW fans and shoppers.
