BMW X4 G02/F98 xDrive20i Advantage Steptronic - Terrain

Can the BMW X4 G02/F98 xDrive20i Advantage Steptronic also be used off-road? Here often a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. For real rough terrain it needs more than just some more ground clearance. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many models that look off-road but have limited capability to do so.

The BMW X4 has all-wheel drive, which means that the basic requirement is already met. Ground clearance, another important criterion, is 204 mm for this vehicle. This allows it to move forward even in hilly terrain and, for example, on muddy paths in the forest without sitting up, assuming all-wheel drive. Torque is available at 290 Nm, which is something you can start with - but if you pull a lot, you will also feel it properly.



Rating: The BMW X4 has all-wheel drive as well as acceptable ground clearance. Occasional off-road excursions are no problem. However, it is not a real off-road vehicle.
