2022 BMW X4 vs 2023 BMW X4
Two adjacent model years of the BMW X4, side by side. Every figure is a raw NHTSA/EPA count — not normalized by how many were sold.
Side by side: 2023 X4 has fewer recorded recall campaigns (3 vs 6), and 2022 X4 has fewer recorded owner complaints (3 vs 7). 2022 X4 carries more NHTSA investigations (1 vs 0). Neither has NHTSA crash ratings, and neither has EPA fuel-economy data in our dataset.
| Metric | 2022 BMW X4 | 2023 BMW X4 |
|---|---|---|
| Recall campaigns | 6 | 3 |
| Owner complaints | 3 | 7 |
| NHTSA investigations | 1 | 0 |
| NHTSA crash rating | Not rated | Not rated |
| EPA fuel economy | — | — |
Where these two actually differ
2023 BMW X4 carries 3 fewer recall campaigns (3 against 6). Every campaign listed is repaired free by a dealer regardless of which side it falls on, so this gap matters most if the specific car you are looking at still has work outstanding.
2023 BMW X4 has drawn 4 more owner complaints (7 against 3). Complaints are self-reported to NHTSA and scale with how many were sold, so treat the pattern of what owners report as more informative than the total.
Counts are raw NHTSA and EPA totals for each model year. They are not adjusted for how many of each vehicle were sold, so a high-volume model will tend to show more of everything — a larger complaint count is not by itself evidence of a worse car. Use the per-vehicle reports for the underlying records.
How to read this
- A green check marks the lower raw count — fewer recorded issues, not a declared winner.
- Complaint totals are not normalized by vehicle population; a big-seller shows more of everything.
- Where a rating or EPA record is absent, that is missing data — not evidence of safety.
