The interior is similar to that of the X3
Interiors – The interior of the BMW X4 is a cut-copy-paste job from the interior of the X3 but that is expected. It is not a bad thing at all since the first impression of the X4’s cabin is that it is well put-together and loaded with all the goodies expected at this price point. The dashboard design is smart and easy to get used to. The driving position is nice too as the seats are very comfortable and offer a generous level of adjustments. It should be mentioned that you sit a bit lower in the X4 than you do in the X3 and that makes the driving position of the X4 feel a little sportier.

BMW’s iDrive infotainment system is responsive and easy to use
The X4 is feature-loaded & build quality is also impressive; feels luxurious & sporty
The typical BMW dash houses a large 10.2-inch touch-operated infotainment system coupled with goodies such as navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. You also get a premium Harman Kardon sound system to take care of your entertainment needs. The iDrive infotainment system is still the best in the business and the crisp display and the ease of operation make it a joy to use. There is also an all-digital instrument cluster which shows you a host of information and like the infotainment screen is blessed with amazing resolution. The steering is very nice to hold and the controls on it feel easy to operate.

While there isn’t enough room to seat 3 passengers comfortably, the large sunroof ensures an airy feel
The back seat is a bit of a mixed bag. It offers generous legroom but only adequate headroom. The sloping roofline intrudes into the headspace and taller passengers will find it a problem. The high centre tunnel is also a sore point meaning the middle passenger won’t be comfortable on long journeys. The seating position is a bit low and the windows are high limiting the outside visibility to some extent. But the backseats are fairly comfortable for your daily needs and the huge panoramic sunroof ensures the cabin never turns gloomy.

The cabin has excellent quality and attention-to-detail
The large transmission tunnel and sloping roofline robs away precious space from the rear passengers
Quality all round is utterly impressive and there is that expected polish and feel-good factor in the cabin of the X4. The tan theme which we had on our test car also looks cool and different from the usual beige and black. We particularly liked the buttons on the dashboard which felt durable and tactile to use. BMW has given all you need in terms of equipment. There’s BMW Gesture Control, 3-Zone Climate Control, Heads-Up Display, park assist, electric adjustment for the driver and passenger seats amongst others. Sure, the backseat experience could’ve been better but generally speaking, the interior of the X4 won’t leave you disappointed.
