BMW X4

The BMW X4 is a compact luxury CUV or crossover SUV, but BMW calls it a Sports Activity Coupe to give more emphasis to the fact that it was designed more for road use with some off-road capability. The coupe designation does pay tribute to its design which looks more like a sedan with higher ground clearance. The X4 looks very similar to its big brother, the BMW X6.

Audi Q5

The Audi Q5 is a compact luxury CUV or crossover SUV placed in between the Q3 and Q7, set to compete with BMW X3, Volvo XC60, and Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class. A distinctive feature of the Q5 is Audi's MLB platform on which it is based, together with the Audi A4 and Audi A5. It makes the driving experience of Q5 feel much more like a car, with excellent on-road handling without the rolling expected from an SUV. Audi achieved this at the cost of the off-road capabilities, which was never the aim of the Q5 in the first place.
