The latest addition to BMW's innovative Neue Klasse family is the 2027 iX4, an electric SUV that boasts a distinctive coupe-back silhouette. This model shares a strong visual connection with its iX3 counterpart, immediately noticeable in its front-end styling.
While maintaining a familial resemblance to the iX3, the iX4 differentiates itself with a significantly more pronounced and downward-sloping roofline. This design choice contributes to a sportier aesthetic, highlighting its dynamic character.
The 2027 iX4 integrates the same advanced powertrain configurations found in its square-back sibling. This ensures a consistent level of performance across the Neue Klasse electric SUV range.
Customers can select from two potent powertrain options for the iX4. The standard 50 xDrive model delivers a robust 463 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. For those seeking exhilarating performance, the M60 xDrive variant escalates output to an impressive 603 horsepower and 645 pound-feet of torque.
Enthusiasts can look forward to the arrival of the new iX4 next year. The vehicle is slated to commence sales with a starting price of $67,695, offering a competitive entry point into the luxury electric SUV segment.
