Why are there fewer people buying the BMW X4?
2 Answers
Because the BMW X4 has limited practicality and is relatively suitable only for young people. However, there are relatively few young people with the financial capability to purchase a BMW X4, so the number of buyers is comparatively low. Below are specific details about the BMW X4: 1. Body Dimensions: The BMW X4 is an SUV model positioned between the X3 and X5. Its length, width, and height dimensions are 4763mm, 1926mm, and 1632mm, respectively, with a wheelbase of 2864mm. 2. Powertrain Configuration: The BMW X4 initially offers two engine displacements: 2.0T and 3.0T. The 2.0T version delivers maximum horsepower of 184 HP and 245 HP, while the 3.0T version provides a maximum horsepower of 306 HP.
The BMW X4 has relatively low sales primarily because it's expensive and not very practical. When I was considering buying a new car, I researched the BMW lineup and found that the X4 is significantly more expensive than the X3, with a starting price close to 600,000 RMB, which is a financial burden for average families. Moreover, as a coupe-style SUV with a sloping roofline, the rear headroom and trunk capacity are compromised, making it cramped when carrying large luggage or traveling with the whole family. In comparison, similarly priced models like the X5 or Audi Q7 offer more spacious and practical solutions for daily life. There's also the consumer psychology factor—buyers of luxury SUVs often prioritize cost-performance ratio and brand reputation. While the X4 is stylish, it's a niche model with limited marketing exposure and lower brand recognition. Additionally, the high maintenance costs and difficulty in sourcing imported parts lead many to opt for more mainstream models instead. In summary, from both economic and practical perspectives, the X4 doesn't meet the needs of the general public, resulting in naturally low sales.
