The iX4 40 xDrive produces 374PS and 520Nm, completing the 0 to 100km/h sprint in 5.6 seconds.
BMW has revealed the first-ever iX4, expanding its Neue Klasse EV range with a coupe-style SUV positioned alongside the iX3.
It becomes the third Neue Klasse model after the iX3 and i3, with the first two variants due to reach the market in March 2027. The BMW iX4 will be produced alongside the iX3 at BMW Group Plant Debrecen in Hungary.
Two versions will be available initially, the iX4 40 xDrive and iX4 50 xDrive, both using dual-motor all-wheel drive and BMW’s sixth-generation eDrive technology. A more powerful iX4 M60 xDrive will follow shortly after as the range-topper.
The iX4 40 xDrive produces 374PS and 520Nm, completing the 0 to 100km/h sprint in 5.6 seconds. It uses an 82.6kWh usable battery and offers up to 638km of WLTP range. DC charging peaks at 300kW, with a 10 to 80% charge taking 21 minutes.
Above it, the iX4 50 xDrive increases output to 469PS and 645Nm, cutting the 0 to 100km/h time to 4.9 seconds.
Its larger 108.7kWh usable battery delivers up to 828km of WLTP range, while its 800V electrical architecture allows DC charging at up to 400 kW.
BMW says a 10 to 80% charge takes 21 minutes, while 10 minutes at maximum charging power can add as much as 387km of range.
The iX4 M60 xDrive takes things considerably further. Its two motors produce up to 612PS and 875Nm, allowing it to reach 100km/h in 3.9 seconds.
It uses the same 108.7kWh usable battery as the 50 xDrive, but still manages a claimed WLTP range of up to 777km. DC charging also peaks at 400kW.
BMW says the M60 will be available to order from January 2027, with production beginning in March and its market launch following in stages.
Visually, the iX4 shares the Neue Klasse face already introduced by the iX3, but adopts a lower, more swept-back roofline to create its SUV coupe profile.
The long wheelbase and short overhangs remain, while the rear receives slim horizontal lights, a pronounced integrated spoiler, and a more sculpted tailgate.
The iX4 measures 4,782mm long, 1,895mm wide, and 1,595mm tall, with a 2,897mm wheelbase. Its drag coefficient stands at 0.23.
Boot capacity is 490 litres with the rear seats up and expands to 1,600 litres when the 40:20:40 split-folding bench is lowered, while another 58 litres of storage sits under the bonnet.
Unlike the iX3, the M Sport package is standard across the iX4 range. This brings 20-inch M alloy wheels and M Sport brakes with blue callipers, while wheels ranging from 20 to 22 inches are available. A panoramic glass roof with climate comfort glazing is also standard.
The M60 gets its own treatment, including 21-inch wheels, an M-specific rear spoiler, black M Shadowline kidney trim, M mirror caps, an M-specific diffuser, and BMW’s new M Yellow Lights. The BMW Iconic Glow exterior package is also fitted as standard on the M60.
Inside, the layout is shared closely with other Neue Klasse models. BMW Panoramic iDrive combines a 17.9-inch central touchscreen with BMW Panoramic Vision, which projects information across the lower section of the windscreen.
BMW Operating System X, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an optional BMW 3D Head-Up Display are also part of the package.
Despite the sloping roofline, BMW says rear headroom remains generous. Standard seats are electrically adjustable with memory, while the M60 receives M Sport seats with 10-way electric adjustment, massage functionality, and illuminated M logos.
The M60 also receives a model-specific M Sport steering wheel with a red 12 o’clock marker, shift paddles, and dedicated Boost Mode and M Mode buttons.
Underneath, all versions use BMW’s Heart of Joy integrated vehicle control system, which manages the drivetrain, braking, recuperation, and steering-related functions.
BMW says regenerative braking can handle virtually all everyday deceleration, with the friction brakes only required in around 2% of normal driving situations.
Adaptive M suspension is standard on the M60 and optional on the other iX4 variants. The M60 also receives an electronically controlled M Sport differential at the rear, together with specific spring, damper, anti-roll bar, and steering tuning.
The Neue Klasse electrical architecture also brings bidirectional charging. Depending on equipment and market availability, the iX4 supports Vehicle-to-Load at up to 3.7kW, as well as Vehicle-to-Home and Vehicle-to-Grid functionality at up to 11kW.
BMW’s latest driver assistance systems are offered too, including Driving Assistant Plus with BMW Symbiotic Drive.
The system allows the driver to make steering, acceleration, and braking inputs without immediately cancelling the assistance functions.
Optional Motorway Assistant can provide hands-free driving at up to 130km/h in supported markets, while additional navigation-guided assistance for urban roads will begin rolling out from 2027.
