BMW iX4, price starting at 311,500 PLN. A new class with improved range thanks to its more streamlined design compared to the sibling BMW iX3

BMW officially unveiled the BMW iX4 Neue Klasse, which is essentially the BMW iX3 with a more sharply tapered rear body section (a “coupe”). The new BMW iX4 50 xDrive delivers up to 828 WLTP miles per charge with a battery of ~114 (108.7) kWh, more than the iX3 with the same drive system. Additionally, the BMW iX4 40 xDrive version with a battery of ~88 (82.6) kWh was made available immediately, and its price starts at 311,500 złoty. An additional 32,500 złoty is required for the larger package, bringing the total starting price to 344,000 złoty.

The car is available in the configurator today (HERE), with deliveries set to begin in March 2027. It will be offered in the BMW iX4 50 xDrive and iX4 40 xDrive versions, both featuring all-wheel drive with power outputs of 345 kW/469 hp or 275 kW/374 hp respectively. Unfortunately, BMW stubbornly refuses to bring a “Longest Range” version to market, which would include a large battery of ~114 (108.7) kWh and rear-wheel drive — for now, we can only choose between a more powerful drivetrain with a larger battery or a weaker drivetrain with a smaller capacity battery.

The default starting configuration for the BMW iX4 50 xDrive begins with a slightly less equipped model priced at 357,500 złoty, whose range is over 50 WLTP units lower (lower end) than that shown in the configurator window (on the right). To maximize its range, we need to select the 20-inch M Aero 1047 Bicolor wheels.

The claimed WLTP range for the BMW iX4 is 680-828 (108.7 kWh) and 526-638 (82.6 kWh) kilometers respectively, though these are preliminary and unofficial figures. BMW is one of the few companies that immediately provides the vehicle’s minimum and maximum WLTP range based on trim level or wheel size. For the larger battery version (50 xDrive), these figures increase to 581-708 kilometers in urban or combined driving conditions, 408-497 kilometers at 120 km/h, and 313-381 kilometers at 140 km/h.

In the case of the smaller battery (40 xDrive), it will yield 450-545 kilometers in urban or urban-suburban mode, 316-383 kilometers at 120 km/h, and 242-293 kilometers at 140 km/h [preliminary calculations by Elektrowozu’s editorial team]. Both variants can reach 10 to 80 percent charge in 21 minutes, with the larger battery allowing acceleration using a 400 kW charger, while the smaller one is more flexible with infrastructure, requiring only 300 kW at peak levels.

In the car, it’s worth checking the wheels, as we get other tires along with them that significantly affect range (see the caption under the illustration at the beginning). Another interesting feature is the steering wheel: this one, which looks normal, is called the M Sport Steering Wheel and costs an additional 500 zlotys (illustration above), although the manufacturer claims that “the M Sport package is standard.” The package also includes a autopilot (Driver Assistance Systems Plus), a display in the dashboard, and an inductive phone charger, though we have to pay extra for a head-up display on the windshield (HUD). As part of the Innovation Package, this will cost 9,200 zlotys.

If someone doesn’t want a illuminated grille, they must give up the optional BMW Iconic Glow package. However, they should do so knowing that they will also forgo the matrix adaptive headlights at the front (source).
