BMW has unveiled the iX4, an all-electric coupé-SUV built on the Neue Klasse platform, starting at €75,705. BMW also plans an M60 xDrive variant of the iX4 next spring.
Why it matters
The iX4 marks BMW's move to the Neue Klasse platform for its electric lineup, offering buyers two powertrain options with claimed ranges of up to 827 km. Its pricing and charging specifications set a benchmark for premium electric coupé-SUVs sold internationally.
The iX4 40 xDrive produces 374 hp with a claimed range of 639 km, while the iX4 50 xDrive produces 469 hp with a claimed range of 827 km. The iX4 40 has an 82.6 kWh battery with 300 kW peak charging, and the iX4 50 uses a 108.7 kWh battery supporting up to 400 kW.
The players
BMW
BMW is a German luxury automaker headquartered in Munich that produces premium cars, SUVs, and electric vehicles under the BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce brands.
The details
The iX4 uses a sloping roof designed to retain rear headroom for tall passengers. It offers 490 litres of boot space plus 58 litres in the frunk, slightly less boot space than the iX3's 520 litres.
Timeline
The iX4 arrives in showrooms in March 2027.
An M60 xDrive variant is expected to follow in spring 2027.
Roadmap
The iX4 is among the first vehicles built on BMW's Neue Klasse electric architecture, extending that platform beyond its initial sedan and SUV applications into a coupé-SUV body. The M60 xDrive variant expected next spring would add a performance tier to the same platform, mirroring BMW's approach of offering electric models in both efficiency-focused and high-output versions.
Buyers considering the iX4 face a starting price of €75,705 and an €83,135 cost for the 50 xDrive, with charging speeds of 300 kW or 400 kW depending on battery size. Boot space of 490 litres plus a 58-litre frunk is slightly smaller than the iX3's 520-litre boot, which may matter for families comparing the two.
The takeaway
The iX4 shows how a premium electric coupé-SUV can pair a roofline that preserves rear headroom with fast charging and a choice of two battery sizes. Shoppers weighing range against price should compare the 639 km and 827 km claims against their own driving patterns.
What happens next
The iX4 arrives in showrooms in March 2027, and the M60 xDrive variant is expected to follow in spring 2027 with pricing still to be confirmed.
