Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the BMW X4 G02 LCI costs RM42,000 more, yet its 249 hp and 350 Nm still deliver the same 6.3-second 0-100 km/h time as the BMW X4 G02’s 252 hp version. The facelift earns its premium through pedestrian-detecting autonomous braking, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and a 12.3-inch screen with 464-watt Harman Kardon audio. But the older car is 95 kg lighter and officially uses 7.8 L/100 km against 8.5 L/100 km. Same annual road tax, sharper safety gap.
Pick the BMW X4 G02 if lower fuel use, 95 kg less weight and the RM42,000 saving matter more than the newer safety and infotainment kit.
Pick the BMW X4 G02 LCI if you want autonomous braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring and the larger Harman Kardon-equipped infotainment system.
