AutoExec Summary
I’m quite particular about buying a family hauler. My wife wanted to replace our premium SUV, but I had specific requirements: stylish, refined, good handling, excellent stereo, autonomous braking, modern collision features, and decent acceleration. No CVT gearboxes, and electric options were too costly. We shortlisted BMW, Lexus, and Mercedes. Ultimately, we chose a BMW X4 M40i. Its design is athletic, the interior comfortable, and it offers impressive driving dynamics. Downsides include lower-quality cabin plastics and some tech quirks. Overall, it exceeds expectations and makes me smile.
Brands mentioned: BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, Range Rover, Audi, Porsche, Tesla, VW Group, Toyota.
