X3/X4 [Renders] BMW X4 (2018)


The BMW X3 is an SUV manufactured by BMW since 2003, based on the BMW 3 Series platform. Now in its fourth generation, BMW markets the car as a Sports Activity Vehicle, the company's proprietary descriptor for its X-line luxury vehicles. The BMW X4 is a compact luxury crossover SUV manufactured by BMW since 2014. The X4 is widely considered as a "coupé" version of the X3, trading its practicality with a sloping rear roof which offers a sportier styling. BMW has indicated 2025 will be the X4's final model year.
I do like the rear of this X4 a lot. Much better than the previous model.

Yet I do think it's the front of the X3 that needed change. But I think I am in the minority here. And the new rear does look good.

Anything's better than the L shape at this point. L shape needs a decade or two off.

You are not. I said it before and I will say it again. The new X3 will date very quickly as we see more bimmers with sleek tail/head lights and new centre console design. Once again it's caught before a generational shift in design.

The X4 tail lights are stunning and makes the rear look less dopey and heavy.
 
Am I the only one who sees Z4 Concept's lights in the new X4?

No you do. And you will see the Z4 Concept's on the production Z4.

The longer wheelbase of the G02 helps the roofline. It's less condensed compared to the F26. However F26 is an afterthought vehicle designed to enter a mid-life cycle. Same goes for the original F71 X6 and the Mercedes-Benz GLE-Klasse.

Is the X2 an afterthought also?

Based on this, I would say the only part looking like an improvement is the rear end. The entire car will be more upscale, better built and with a much nicer interior. But the proportions and the side profile in general look way better on the new X3 than on this X4.

Besides the first X6, BMW has yet to nail a SAC IMO.
