BMW X4 G02/F98 xDrive20i M Sport X Steptronic - Terrain

Is the BMW X4 G02/F98 xDrive20i M Sport X Steptronic also suitable for off-road use? Here usually a distinction is made between "soft-roaders" and real off-roaders. Wanting to go into real off-road it needs more than just some more ground clearance. The SUV boom of the last 10 years has produced many cars that look off-road capable 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.

The integrated 360-degree camera can also help you move forward on rough terrain and avoid damage.

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.
