BMW has unveiled its new iX4, which offers up to 514 miles of range on a single charge, making it the longest-range electric BMW SUV on sale today.

A ‘Sports Activity Coupe’ derivative of the iX3, the new iX4 shares the same front end as its award-winning sibling, but a sloping roofline from the central B-pillar rearwards gives the iX4 a liftback body style and a more extroverted aesthetic.

Order books are open now, with first customer deliveries scheduled for March 6, 2027.

New BMW iX4 battery, range, and pricing.

The new iX4 is only available with BMW’s all-wheel-drive (AWD) xDrive system, and the range starts with the £60,170 iX4 40 xDrive, offering 369bhp, 383lb ft of torque, and a 396-mile range.

The mid-tier 50 xDrive is the one with the headline-stealing 514-mile range. Priced from £66,075, it packs a punchy 463bhp and 476lb ft of torque. The range-topping iX4 M60, aimed squarely at likes of the Tesla Model Y Performance, produces 604bhp with 645lb ft of torque, along with a commendable 483-mile range.

Pricing has yet to be confirmed for the new BMW i4 M60, but it’s expected to be around the £70,000 mark. This performance-focused model also comes with sports suspension and adaptive dampers as standard; both optional extras on the iX4 40 xDrive and 50.

BMW fits the iX4 40 and 60 xDrive with an 87kWh battery pack, while the long-range 50 xDrive gets a huge 113kWh unit. Thanks to its 800V ‘Neue Klasse’ underpinnings, all versions of the iX4 have 400kW rapid charging capability, making it possible to charge from 10%-80% in 21 minutes. Adding 240 miles of range in 10 minutes is also doable with a 400kW charger.

When it comes to the 0-62mph run, the iX4 M60 is the one to beat with a time of 3.9 seconds. Despite the extra weight from its enormous battery, the iX4 xDrive 50 covers the sprint in 4.9 seconds, while the iX4 xDrive 50 does it in 5.6 seconds.

Interior and practicality

Inside, the iX4 shares the same dashboard as the iX3, meaning that most of the car’s main functions are managed via the centrally-positioned, 17.9-inch touchscreen. Munich’s new Panoramic iDrive setup runs the width of the cabin, while on some models, BMW’s divisive four-spoke steering wheel is also standard fit.

Given the sloped roofline, the iX4 is less practical than the iX3, but not massively so. With the rear seats folded, it offers 1,600 litres of boot space, 150 less than its more family-friendly cousin. Like the iX3, the iX4 is built at BMW’s factory in Debrecen, Hungary.
