BMW India has confirmed the launch of the second generation X4 in India for 2019. The first-generation BMW X4 debuted in 2014, but it did not enter the Indian market.

According to CarDekho, the new BMW X4 once launched in India will be placed between the X3 and the X5 offerings in the company's Indian lineup.
