Major car brand discontinues ‘funky’ motor after 10 years with ‘no plans to replace it’
A MAJOR motor brand has announced it will axe a popular “funky” luxury SUV from its lineup with no plans to replace it.
The unique motor is expected to be axed as soon as stock runs out, and will not get a facelift or a model upgrade next year.
BMW is scrapping its popular X4 Coupe SUV from its production lineup – and is expected to take it off the market as soon as next year.
First revealed in 2014, the SUV quickly became popular with motorheads who love to drive adventure vehicles with a bit of luxury.
However, over the decade, the car failed to maintain its position as the leading Coupe SUV, with passionate motorists eventually falling out of love with the vehicle.
Due to a lack of popularity, the German brand is expected to stop the production of X4 after the 2024 model year.
BMW will reportedly kill the X4 after the 2025 model year.
Company officials additionally confirmed the Mercedes GLC Coupe rival won’t live to see another generation.
But its not all bad news, as BMW still has the new X2 crossover coupe as an alternative.
The price gap between the X4 and X2 has also been substantially narrowed.
And those who are after a larger, or more stylish SUV can look into getting their hands on the big X6.
The German luxury brand says the new X3 can also provide a more in-between sized vehicle, which unlike the X2 has RWD underpinnings and a six cylinder engine.
It is not yet known exactly when BMW will end production of the X4.
This year has already seen 30 cars on the chopping block, with already 20 more set for next year.
