EDITOR BRIEF
BMW’s upcoming iX4 is a coupe-style electric SUV based on its next-generation Neue Klasse platform, following the iX3 and i3. The iX4 50 xDrive is slated for March 2027, with a higher-performance M60 xDrive version expected later that year.
COMMENTARY
The iX4 shows BMW trying to defend its premium EV position with long range, performance variants, and familiar SUV styling as Chinese automakers expand globally. Its success will depend on whether legacy automakers can match China’s pace on price, software, and battery efficiency without diluting brand value.
