2022 Ford Expedition vs. 2022 BMW X4

The 2022 Ford Expedition is one of America’s most famous SUVs, thanks to its large and imposing size, dual turbo performance and lavish cabin options. But can it beat the 2022 BMW X4, an SUV which has been praised for its handling, M level performance and extensive safety tech?

Design & Style

The BMW X4 has the opposite design of Ford. Whereas the Expedition is mostly blocky and angular, the X4 is primarily smooth and curvy. Its roofline is also sleek, and its latest features for this year include newer taillight LEDs, ten inch touch displays, greater fuel efficiency and standardized nineteen inch wheels. It can hold a maximum of five passengers.

The Expedition is Ford’s premier SUV, and comes with the brand’s most advanced technology. It is full sized and capable of seating a maximum of eight passengers. Its newest updates for this year include a suspension that has been upgraded, bigger touch displays and more advanced driver assistance. When the back seats are folded down it offers an impressive 121 cubic feet worth of cargo space. Those that purchase Expedition Max will get an extended wheelbase.

Technology & Safety

The Ford Expedition has some of the best safety scores in its class. The NHTSA gave it a five star review thanks to its many countermeasures which include blind area monitoring, emergency automated brakes, activated lane control and more. Comforts within its cabin include leather upholstery, wifi, powered seats, keyless start, panoramic sunroof, twelve inch touch displays and the choice of Android Auto or Apple CarPlay.

The BMW X4 has yet to earn a five star review from the NHTSA this year, but still comes with many of the safety features found in the Expedition, like parking sensors, emergency automated brakes, a camera with surround view and adapted cruise control. Comforts within its cabin include heated seats, a powered sunroof, leather upholstery, and twelve inch displays.

Performance

Those that purchase the BMW X4 M can get an engine capable of generating 503 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in 3.9 seconds with a towing capacity of 3500 pounds. Those that purchase the Ford Expedition Stealth will get a dual turbo V6 engine that can generate 440 horsepower, with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in under seven seconds with a towing capacity of 9,300 pounds.

The Bottom Line

While the BMW X4 has a slight edge in horsepower and acceleration, the Ford Expedition seats three extra passengers and has almost triple the towing capacity. And when you consider the fact that both SUVs cost around the same price despite the BMW X4 having half the cargo space and back seats which are just average, this makes the Ford Expedition the winner.
