2024 BMW X4

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2024 X4.

Transmission Automatic (S8)

The 2024 BMW X4, built on BMW’s latest compact SUV platform, is equipped with an automatic S8 transmission and delivers an EPA‑rated 15 mpg city, 20 mpg highway and a combined 17 mpg, a figure that stands out for its class. Its power‑train reliability is underscored by a single recall and a modest two owner complaints, the lowest count recorded since the model line began in 2014. Compared with the peak of fourteen complaints in 2020, this year marks the most complaint‑free point in the X4’s eleven‑year history, suggesting a continued upward trend in dependability for researchers tracking long‑term performance.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 BMW X4 sits at the tail end of a clear downward trend in reported issues for the second generation. After a peak in recalls (10) and TSBs (244) in 2020, the numbers have steadily declined, with 2024 showing just 1 recall and 47 TSBs, matching the 2023 level. Complaints also dropped to only 2, compared to 7 in 2023 and a high of 14 in 2020, and there are no investigations or fire complaints. The single crash complaint and isolated power train and visibility issues do not indicate a systemic problem. Given this trajectory of improving reliability, the 2024 X4 appears to be a solid used purchase with minimal federal record activity.
