BMW officially unveiled the iX4 on 8 October 2026. The model is the coupé version of the iX3 and is based on the architecture known as Neue Klasse. From the front, the two vehicles look largely alike, with the differences lying in the sloping roofline and redesigned rear end.

Powertrain and range

• Two variants at launch, delivering 374 to 469 PS
• 637 to 827 km of WLTP range
• Drag coefficient (Cd) of 0.23 thanks to active air flaps
• Panoramic glass roof as standard
• More powerful iX4 M60 version announced for 2027

What sets the coupé apart from the iX3

The lower roofline means the iX4 offers less rear-seat and boot space than the iX3. The rear spoiler with an integrated brake light sits at the bottom of the rear window. Those serving customers who need load space will still be more likely to opt for the iX3.

Implications for the B2B vehicle trade

With WLTP ranges of over 600 km, the premium electric vehicle segment is also becoming more appealing to customers who travel long distances. For cross-border trade, it remains to be seen when the first vehicles will be available and how prices will differ between countries.
