Sunday drive with Hormazd Sorabjee: It’s an SUV? It’s a coupe? It’s a BMW X4!

You have SUVs and you have coupes, which are two distinct body styles that sit at different ends of the spectrum. But can you roll them into one and have an SUV coupe? It’s a bit like mating a gorilla with a gazelle and the offspring is well, something in between. Purists may cringe at the thought of this mixed breed of vehicle which looks like a jacked up sports car, but the fact is that the ‘crossover coupe’ segment has exploded ever since BMW invented it with the X6 over a decade ago.
