5. BMW X4

The BMW X4 is geared towards the sports car crowd, with its aggressive styling and potent engine options. Two engines are available for the X4: A 240 horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder, and a 300 horsepower turbocharged six-cylinder. Both are coupled to an eight-speed transmission and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive. The interior is a bit cramped, especially in the back seat, causing discomfort for taller passengers. The suspension is equipped with Dynamic Damper Control, allowing the X4 to maintain control when cornering at higher speeds. The suspension also does a great job at eliminating road feel, giving the X4 a smooth ride. Extras for the X4 include navigation with real-time traffic info and a head-up display, heated front seats, smartphone connectivity, and adaptive LED headlights.
