The writing had been on the wall for quite some time, and now it\u2019s official: BMW has retired the X4. In an email to BMWBLOG<\/em>, company spokesperson Florian Moser revealed that the final vehicle was assembled in November 2025. The \u201cG02\u201d has already been removed from the U.S. website, and while it\u2019s still listed in other countries, you can\u2019t build one anymore. However, if you hurry, there\u2019s likely some leftover inventory.<\/p>\n

BMW first hinted it wouldn\u2019t renew the X4 for a third generation when it made the latest X2 much bigger than the original. Munich likely sees the \u201cU10\u201d as an indirect replacement, despite its front-wheel-drive-based platform. Let\u2019s be real: not having a RWD-biased architecture isn\u2019t much of an issue for SUV shoppers in this segment.<\/p>\n

We believe the \u201cX4\u201d moniker won\u2019t be gone for long, although BMW will add an \u201ci\u201d prefix. We\u2019ve already seen spy shots of a coupe-styled electric SUV with Neue Klasse styling. The camouflaged prototype appeared to be larger than the iX2<\/a>, strongly hinting at the first-ever iX4.<\/p>\n

\"2027<\/a><\/p>\n

Internally codenamed \u201cNA7,\u201d the sleek EV had an impressively raked roofline. Expect it to break cover later this year, as production in Debrecen is reportedly starting in November. The iX4 will be built alongside the second-generation iX3<\/a> at BMW\u2019s new factory in Hungary, where annual capacity can reach 150,000 units.<\/p>\n

Discontinuing the X4 frees up production capacity at the Spartanburg plant in the United States. BMW plans to build at least six Neue Klasse EVs in South Carolina by 2030, all of which are expected to be SUVs. Their identities haven\u2019t been disclosed, but we believe three of them will be the iX5, iX6, and iX7. The rugged SUV codenamed \u201cG74\u201d<\/a> is likely to be assembled in SC as well.<\/p>\n

Following in the footsteps of the X4, the Spartanburg-built XM is unlikely to be renewed either. However, the plug-in hybrid SUV is expected to remain in production until near the end of 2028. Also unlikely to get a next generation are the Dingolfing-made iX<\/a> and the Leipzig-built 2 Series Active Tourer.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, BMW is set to discontinue the Z4<\/a> and 8 Series, with production of both models ending in the coming months. Of all the cars going away, we\u2019re certainly going to miss the roadster the most. Unfortunately, the two-seater cabrio won\u2019t return either, as another Z car isn\u2019t on the horizon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
