The 2027 BMW iX4 Debuts: Coupe Styling, Up to 428 Miles of Range

BMW has pulled the wraps off the iX4, its first-ever electric crossover to wear the brand’s signature coupe-roof shape. The new model shares its platform with the recently shown iX3, which means the two machines have a lot in common under the skin — but the iX4 leans harder into style than outright practicality.

At launch, American buyers get the iX4 50 xDrive. It pairs a 112.2-kilowatt-hour battery with a dual-motor, 463-horsepower all-wheel-drive setup, and BMW rates it for up to 428 miles of driving. That figure trails the equivalent iX3 by just six miles, a small penalty for the sleeker roofline. Peak DC charging is 400 kilowatts, enough to add as much as 183 miles of range in ten minutes, while the standard onboard AC charger handles 15.4 kW.

A punchier variant follows. The iX4 M60 xDrive keeps the same battery but pushes output to 603 hp, which allows a 0-to-60 mph run of 3.7 seconds. It arrives with Adaptive M Suspension, sport steering and a limited-slip rear differential. BMW hasn’t published a range number for the M60, though a drop versus the milder version is widely expected. European shoppers, meanwhile, get an extra entry point in the iX4 40 xDrive, which uses an 82.6-kWh pack, a 368-hp all-wheel-drive system and a WLTP rating of 396 miles, with DC charging capped at 300 kW.

Dimensions stay close to the iX3: identical 188.3-inch length, 74.6-inch width and 114-inch wheelbase, with height trimmed by 1.5 inches to 63.3 inches. The trade-off shows up in cargo space — the European model offers 17.3 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 56.5 cu ft with them folded, one cubic foot less than the iX3. A roughly 2-cubic-foot front trunk is carried over unchanged.

Every iX4 ships with a fixed glass roof and the M Sport package, bringing unique trim, 20-inch M wheels and blue brake calipers. Step up to the M60 and you get 21-inch wheels, M Sport seats and a Harman Kardon audio system. Inside, the Neue Klasse-derived cabin features a 17.9-inch central display, a slim pillar-to-pillar screen beneath the windshield, a 3D head-up display and a voice assistant built on Amazon’s Alexa+ AI. The crossover also supports vehicle-to-load and vehicle-to-home functions through BMW’s Multifunction Charger, though the required adapters are sold separately. Production will take place at BMW’s new plant in Debrecen, Hungary, alongside the iX3.
