Like its Neue Klasse siblings, the new Sports Utility Vehicle in coupé form represents a technological leap forward into a new era. At the same time, the BMW iX4 showcases its own, particularly expressive interpretation of the reduced-to-the-essential Neue Klasse design. Its dynamic looks underscore the car’s clear sporting instincts.]]></pp:summary><description><![CDATA[<div class="imported-article"><div>  <p>    <strong>Mike Reichelt, Head of Neue Klasse, BMW Compact and Midsize      Class, explains: </strong>“With the new fully electric BMW iX4, we    are expanding the Neue Klasse portfolio with a particularly    emotional vehicle. Its striking proportions, elegant coupé    silhouette and Neue Klasse technologies combine to create a truly    distinctive character. Blending sportiness, expressive design and    innovative technology, the BMW iX4 sets a bold new accent within our    fully electric BMW portfolio.”</p>  <p>Two drive system variants of the BMW iX4 will be available at    launch in March 2027. These will be followed shortly afterwards by    the range-topping model, the extremely powerful BMW iX4 M60 xDrive.    Like all the BMW iX4 variants, the flagship model has one electric    motor at the front axle and one at the rear. In the BMW iX4 M60    xDrive they team up to produce maximum output of 450 kW/612 hp<sup>1    </sup>and 875 Nm (645 lb-ft) of torque<sup>1</sup>.</p></div><div>  <p>    <strong> Elegantly sporting silhouette, distinctive rear-end design. </strong>    <br />The sporty roofline of the BMW iX4 links up with its long    wheelbase and short overhangs to create its coupé-like silhouette.    The front end displays the eye-catching Neue Klasse face. The BMW    kidneys and twin headlights – both design icons – merge into a    single graphic unit. Together, they serve up an interplay of    geometry and light. Elements of the new BMW M design language shape    the front end of the flagship BMW iX4 M60 xDrive, while the    racing-car-inspired M Yellow Lights maximise the car’s visual presence.</p>  <div>    <p>The distinctive rear-end design provides the new BMW iX4 with an      extrovert identifying feature. Precise lines and clearly sculpted      surfaces accentuate the expressive character of the SUV coupé. The      pronounced rear spoiler with integral brake light enhances      aerodynamics and exudes sporting potency. The BMW iX4 M60 xDrive      comes with a special M rear spoiler.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>Slim,  horizontally arranged rear lights give the new BMW iX4 an      aura of poise and assurance. With two light elements on either      side, they form an abstract take on the L shape familiar from      previous BMW lights and integrate seamlessly into the tailgate.      Together, the distinctive, reduced rear light signature and black      diffuser accentuate the muscular rear looks of the new BMW iX4 M60 xDrive.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>      <strong> M Sport package included as standard. </strong>      <br />Alongside its special design elements, the standard M Sport      package for the new BMW iX4 features 20-inch M light-alloy wheels      and M Sport brakes with blue callipers. Standard specification for      the BMW iX4 M60 xDrive includes 21-inch light-alloy wheels. Added      to which, all  BMW  iX4 models can be ordered as an option with      light-alloy wheels up to 22 inches in size; one of these rim      variants is reserved exclusively for the M Performance model.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>      <strong> BMW Iconic Glow exterior package with adaptive light functions. </strong>      <br />The BMW Iconic Glow exterior package includes adaptive light      functions – such as BMW Selective Beam non-dazzling high-beam      assistant  and  Adaptive Headlights – which enhance both safety      and comfort. The BMW Iconic Glow exterior package is part of      standard specification for the new BMW iX4 M60 xDrive and      available as an option for all other model variants.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>The BMW iX4 M60 xDrive also comes with black BMW kidney M      Shadowline trim. This is joined by distinctive light signatures at      the front and rear, ensuring that the car cuts an unmistakable      figure in the hours of darkness too.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>Another design highlight of the new BMW iX4 is the large-surface      panoramic sunroof with climate comfort glazing, which is part of      standard specification and bathes the interior in light. When the      order books open, customers can choose from an initial selection      of nine exterior colour shades for their BMW iX4. These will be      joined from March 2027 by another trio of Frozen paint finishes      and later on by numerous additional colours from the BMW      Individual range.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>      <strong> Light-flooded interior with generous levels of space. </strong>      <br />The interior of the new BMW iX4 gives customers a      particularly vivid introduction to the reduced Neue Klasse design.      The instrument panel makes a particularly sporty and elegant      statement with its clear lines and high-quality materials.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>The interior is bathed in light thanks to the large window      surfaces and panoramic sunroof. The new BMW iX4 utilises the      benefits of the Neue Klasse vehicle architecture, which was      purpose-developed for electric models and offers generous levels      of space. This includes excellent legroom and ample headroom, both      of which are accommodated neatly by the elegant roofline of the      SUV coupé.  </p>  </div>  <div>    <p>Customers can choose from seven different interiors. These      feature a precisely coordinated combination of materials and      colours and emphasise the character of the new BMW iX4 to stunning      effect.   </p>  </div>  <div>    <p>      <strong> Driver orientation elevated to a new level. </strong>      <br />The new BMW iX4 offers a whole new experience of BMW-typical      driver orientation, ensuring the driver is always given the right      information in the right place at the right time.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>BMW Panoramic iDrive with BMW Operating System X creates an      all-encompassing display and operating system bringing together      four central elements: the BMW Panoramic Vision, BMW 3D Head-Up      Display, 17.9-inch Central Display and standard-fit sports      steering wheel with a central spoke in its upper section and      shy-tech controls. Standard equipment for the BMW iX4 M60 xDrive      includes the M Sport  steering wheel in a version specific to this      model. Setting it apart from the steering wheel available as an      option for all other BMW iX4 models are features such as a marker       in the 12 o’clock position and shift paddles.   </p>  </div>  <div>    <p>The My Modes offer customers a multitude of ways to customise      their car’s sound, light, displays and drive system. BMW Digital      Premium brings various M-specific in-car apps to all variants of      the BMW iX4. These provide access to driving dynamics data,      technical vehicle signals and additional media content.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>The BMW iX4 M60 xDrive has M-specific displays, including the      Powermeter, which shows information such as the power currently      being deployed and the reserves still available.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>      <strong> BMW iX4 M60 xDrive with M Sport seats as standard. </strong>      <br />The BMW iX4 M60 xDrive has M Sport seats with ten-way      electric adjustment  as standard. The M Sport seats can also be      ordered as an option for the other model variants, as can the      multifunction seats.</p>    <p>The elegantly sporty seats fitted as standard in the new BMW iX4      offer excellent comfort and secure lateral support. They come with      electric adjustment, a memory function and the Travel &      Comfort System. The rear seat backrest of the BMW iX4 splits      40:20:40. Seat heating can be specified for the rear seats as an option.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>The new BMW iX4 is fitted as standard with a hi-fi system with      seven speakers and a system output of 205 watts. The BMW iX4 M60      xDrive has the Harman Kardon hi-fi system with 13 speakers and 430      watts as standard. It enables use of Dolby Atmos and can be      ordered as an option for all other models.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>      <strong> New BMW iX4 launches with two drive system variants.  </strong>      <br />The fundamentally new sixth-generation (Gen6) BMW  eDrive       technology is a standout innovation of the Neue Klasse and a      defining component of the new BMW iX4.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>Playing an essential role in this technological leap forward are      all-new high-voltage batteries with cylindrical cells, 800V      technology and further developed, highly efficient electric      motors. Gen6 brings the BMW iX4 even more dynamic performance, up      to 400 kW DC charging, significantly higher range figures than      models with Gen5 and bidirectional charging functionality.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>Two drive system variants will initially be available for the new      BMW iX4 from the start of orders. The BMW iX4 50 xDrive has one      electric motor at the front axle and one at the rear axle, which      work together to generate maximum output of 345 kW/469 hp and peak      torque of 645 Nm (475 lb-ft). The sporty SUV coupé accelerates      from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.9 seconds and reaches a top speed      of 210 km/h (130 mph). Its high-voltage battery has a usable      energy content of 108.7 kWh.</p>    <p>It offers an outstanding range of up to 828 kilometres (514      miles)<sup>2</sup>. The maximum charging rate of the new BMW iX4      50 xDrive is 400 kW, which means enough energy can be added in ten      minutes of charging for another 387 kilometres (240 miles) of range<sup>3</sup>.</p>    <p>The BMW iX4 40 xDrive also has one electric motor on each axle.      Together, they produce maximum output of 275 kW/374 hp and peak      torque of 520 Nm (383 lb-ft). The BMW iX4 40 xDrive needs 5.6      seconds for the sprint from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph). Its maximum      range is 638 kilometres (396 miles)<sup>2</sup>.</p>  </div>  <div>    <p>      <strong> Setting new standards: the BMW iX4 M60 xDrive. </strong>      <br />Shortly after the order books open for its two sister models,      the range-topping BMW iX4 M60 xDrive will join the line-up: it can      be ordered from January 2027. The M Performance model has an      M-specific all-wheel-drive application and serves up      smile-inducing performance. Developing 450 kW/612 hp<sup>4</sup>,      this is the most powerful version of the new BMW iX4 and sprints      from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.9 seconds<sup>4</sup>. The      electronically limited top speed of the BMW iX4 M60 xDrive is 240      km/h (149 mph)<sup>4</sup>. The M Performance model has a maximum      range of up to 777 kilometres (483 miles)<sup>4</sup>.    </p>  </div>  <div>    <p>      <strong> Heart of Joy brings a new dimension in driving pleasure. </strong>      <br />The new BMW iX4 utilises previously untapped potential of      electric mobility. Like all Neue Klasse models, this      software-defined car has a newly developed electronics and      software architecture. The Heart of Joy high-performance computer      links up with the BMW Dynamic Performance Control Driving Stack to      provide hugely effective drive system and driving dynamics      control. The Heart of Joy works ten times faster than previous      systems and reduces the number of control inputs required. This      technological leap forward ensures extremely effortless, precise      and composed driving characteristics.</p>    <div>      <p>        <strong> Adaptive M suspension: turning up the dial for          sportiness and comfort. </strong>        <br />The new, flat high-voltage battery is the key to the        extremely low centre of  gravity  of  the new BMW iX4. Together        with the almost perfectly balanced weight distribution and        upgraded chassis technology, this paves the way for precise and        agile handling. In addition, the long wheelbase provides        outstanding directional stability.</p>    </div>    <div>      <p>Leading the way dynamically in the BMW iX4 line-up is the BMW        iX4 M60 xDrive, which comes as standard with adaptive M        suspension. This brings electronically controlled shock        absorbers and sport steering with variable rack-and-pinion ratio        – and enhances both sportiness and comfort. Adaptive M        suspension is available as an option for all BMW iX4 models. The        BMW iX4 M60 xDrive comes exclusively with an electronically        controlled M locking differential at the rear axle. It also        offers two M-exclusive My Modes – M Sport and M Sport Plus –        that provide a particularly engaging and sporty driving experience.</p>    </div>    <div>      <p>        <strong> Innovative assistance systems and active safety functions. </strong>        <br />The new BMW iX4 is offered with an extensive array of        standard and optional assistance systems. The application of        advanced technology and increased use of artificial        intelligence  provide even greater safety and genuinely reduce        the strain on the driver during partially automated driving and        parking . BMW Symbiotic Drive ensures intuitive interaction        between human behaviour and driver assistance. The Motorway        Assistant enables hands-free driving up to 130 km/h (81        mph)<sup>5 </sup>in numerous countries and intelligently        assisted lane changes  on approved routes.</p>    </div>    <p> </p>    <p>*All of the equipment features, fuel/electric power consumption      and CO₂ figures in this media information refer to the German      market.
