    The current BMW X4 was only introduced for 2015 but a redesigned model is already in the works. And judging by the lack of camouflage gear on prototypes, the debut can’t be far. The quick replacement rate is due to the X3, from which the X4 is derived, having just been redesigned itself, as a 2018 model. The new X4 should arrive next year, meaning we’ll likely see it introduced as a 2019 model. Both vehicles adopt the SUV version of the BMW Group’s modular platform known as CLAR. The platform debuted in the 2016 7-Series and brings to the table lightweight construction and...
