Fresh spy shots have emerged, offering an exciting glimpse of BMW’s upcoming iX4 electric coupe-SUV. Shared on Instagram by user @Kero_Wolf on October 6th, these images reveal a vehicle poised to replace the current X4, adopting BMW’s cutting-edge Neue Klasse design language and technology.
A Striking New Silhouette
The exterior design appears consistent with previously spotted camouflaged test vehicles. The iX4 boasts a distinctively sloped roofline, reinforcing its coupe-SUV identity. This styling marks a departure from the more upright stance of the iX3, leaning heavily into a sportier, more aerodynamic profile.
Interior: A Glimpse of the Future
Inside, the leaked images showcase BMW’s Neue Klasse design philosophy in full effect. A massive 17.9-inch central touchscreen dominates the dashboard, complemented by a redesigned steering wheel and an expansive panoramic display stretching across the instrument panel. While these images provide an enticing preview, BMW emphasizes that final specifications will be confirmed upon official release.
Powertrain Options Revealed
Reports suggest the 2027 model year iX4 will launch with two all-wheel-drive (AWD) variants: the 40 xDrive and the 50 xDrive. Both will feature the sixth generation (Gen6) eDrive system. While details on specific performance and range figures are still emerging, it’s understood that these two versions will offer different capabilities.
Market Positioning
The BMW iX4 is anticipated to enter the market by the end of 2026 as a 2027 model. Its introduction is set to intensify competition in the growing electric SUV segment, with previous reports indicating it will directly challenge rivals like the Tesla Model Y. The development of the iX4 represents another significant step in BMW’s electrification strategy, bringing the Neue Klasse platform to a more performance-oriented SUV body style.
Previous Insights
This latest leak follows a series of earlier reports and spy shots that have fueled anticipation for the iX4. Previous coverage highlighted potential WLTP range figures of up to 805 kilometers (approximately 500 miles) for certain configurations, alongside its distinctive coupe-SUV styling and sporty appeal. The vehicle is being positioned as BMW’s first pure electric coupe-SUV, with the Neue Klasse architecture underpinning its advanced technology and design.
