In Brief
BMW expands its Neue Klasse lineup with the iX4, a fully electric coupe-SUV offering up to 828 km of range and a high-performance M60 xDrive version delivering 612 horsepower. Available from March 2027 in France, the iX4 showcases a dynamic stance, advanced onboard technology, and a charging capability of up to 400 kW. Three variants are planned, each with distinct performance and range characteristics. Prices start at €73,950 for the entry-level model, giving enthusiasts a more expressive alternative to the iX3.
BMW continues the rollout of its Neue Klasse with the iX4, a new 100% electric coupe-SUV. Up to 515 miles of range, 400 kW charging, and 612 hp are on the menu.
The BMW iX4 adopts a clearly sportier look
The Neue Klasse family is starting to take solid shape. After the iX3 and i3, the German automaker now unveils its third model built on this new tech generation—the iX4. This newcomer sticks with BMW’s familiar formula of a coupe-SUV, but this time it’s tailored to its new, all-electric platform. The French market launch is planned for March 2027, with prices starting at €73,950.
As expected, the iX4 inherits several styling cues introduced by the Neue Klasse, while aiming to set itself apart from the iX3. Its standout feature is, of course, its silhouette. The roofline slopes more steeply toward the rear, while short overhangs and a long wheelbase emphasize its coupe-like character.
At the front, BMW maintains its new interpretation of the iconic grille, visually integrated with the dual headlights. Large air intakes and active aerodynamic flaps contribute to the aerodynamics. The result on paper is compelling, with a drag coefficient of 0.23. At the rear, the ultra-slim taillights reinterpret the traditional “L” lighting signature, while a spoiler lip extends the rear glass.
The iX4 measures 4.78 m in length, 1.90 m in width and 1.60 m in height, with a 2.90 m wheelbase. Despite its sleeker silhouette, BMW claims a 490-liter boot, expandable to 1,600 liters… Plus, there’s a 58-liter front trunk under the hood.
Inside, you’ll find BMW’s new digital universe. The Panoramic iDrive centers on the BMW Panoramic Vision, a 3D head-up display and a large 17.9-inch central screen. The whole system runs on the BMW Operating System X and will evolve with software updates.
Up to 828 km of range for the BMW iX4
It’s the engineering under the skin that gives the Neue Klasse its edge. The iX4 benefits from sixth-generation eDrive technology, an 800-volt architecture, new cylindrical cells, and bidirectional charging.
At launch, the lineup will include two all-wheel-drive versions. The iX4 40 xDrive develops 374 hp and 520 Nm. Its 82.6 kWh battery enables a WLTP range between 568 and 638 km (about 353–397 miles). Rapid charging can reach up to 300 kW, and the 0–60 mph sprint takes 5.6 seconds.
Above it, the iX4 50 xDrive jumps to 469 hp and 645 Nm. Its net battery capacity reaches 108.7 kWh and range climbs to up to 828 km (515 miles) WLTP. BMW also cites a maximum charging power of 400 kW, enabling under ideal conditions a recharge of up to 387 km (about 240 miles) in ten minutes. The 0–60 mph time drops to 4.9 seconds.
A 612-hp M60 xDrive at the top of the range
BMW is also preparing an iX4 M60 xDrive, which will become the most capable variant of the model. The automaker lists 612 horsepower and 875 Nm. Zero-to-60 mph in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h (149 mph). Despite these performance figures, the claimed maximum range remains substantial at 777 km (483 miles) WLTP.
This variant will also feature several specific equipment upgrades, including SelectDrive M suspension, a sport steering system with variable ratio, and electronically controlled M slip differential on the rear axle.
In France, orders open on October 8, 2026, with first deliveries starting March 6, 2027. The iX4 40 xDrive starts at €73,950, followed by €79,450 for the 50 xDrive. The M60 xDrive is priced at €96,950. With this new body style, BMW is rapidly expanding its Neue Klasse and offering a more expressive alternative to the iX3.
