Photos of the BMW iX4 leaked ahead of its launch. It’s an iX3 with a fastback design.
BMW is set to unveil the new iX4 still this week, unofficially on Thursday, October 8. Before its official launch, photos of the electric coupe-SUV’s body and cabin have leaked online, showing it will feature the Neue Klasse platform and a 108.7 kWh battery.
The materials published by @Kero_Wolf aren’t from BMW’s official presentation, but the car resembles the prototypes seen during tests. The manufacturer previously said the iX4 would go on sale before the end of 2026.
The iX4 Will Replace the Gas-Engine X4
The new model will be a more sporty version of the iX3. Instead of the SUV’s angular design, it will have a sharply sloping roof, a shorter rear cabin area, and a profile similar to that of a large fastback or gran turismo. BMW aims to replace the current X4 with this model, but without the gas-engine version mentioned in the leaked materials.
The range will include two variants: the iX4 40 xDrive and the iX4 50 xDrive. Both will feature all-wheel drive, though they will differ in performance and range. BMW has not yet disclosed specific figures.
Beneath the hood lies the sixth-generation eDrive technology, known from the Neue Klasse. The iX4 is expected to use a 108.7 kWh battery, but its estimated range is still unknown. For comparison, the iX3 50 xDrive achieves up to 805 km WLTP range according to BMW. The American version of the iX3 uses a 112.2 kWh battery and has an EPA-rated range of 434 miles, which is approximately 698 km.
Cabine without traditional dashboard instruments
The interior also doesn’t offer much surprise. The photos show the Neue Klasse layout with a 17.9-inch central screen, a new steering wheel, and the BMW Panoramic Vision system. Information is displayed on a wide strip at the bottom of the windshield, spanning almost the entire width of the dashboard. This is complemented by a 3D HUD projection display.
The price of the iX4 remains unknown. For reference, the iX3 40 costs around 63,400 euros in Europe, while the iX3 50 xDrive is priced at 73,925 euros. In the U.S., the more powerful version starts at 61,500 dollars. The iX4 is expected to be slightly more expensive than this, but it will be the official launch that reveals how much BMW charges for a lower roof and a more sporty silhouette.
