On January 5, 2026, BMW Blog unveiled a series of real-car spy photographs showcasing BMW's brand-new, fully electric coupe SUV, the iX4, undergoing rigorous road testing in Germany. Internally codenamed NA7, this innovative vehicle is constructed on BMW's cutting-edge "New Generation" (Neue Klasse) platform, heralding BMW's inaugural foray into the realm of all-electric crossover coupes.

The iX4's sleek, fastback silhouette is immediately recognizable, characterized by its low-slung profile and flared fenders that accentuate its robust and muscular physique, lending it an overall more assertive and dynamic visual appeal. The front fascia of the iX4 seamlessly continues the design language of the iX3 family, while the roofline gracefully descends from the B-pillar, and the rear quarter window area is thoughtfully minimized, crafting a distinct and sporty coupe profile.

Delving into the finer details, the iX4 incorporates hidden door handles for a streamlined aesthetic, and the tailgate spoiler is ingeniously designed with a horizontal opening or may accommodate a high-mounted brake light, enhancing both functionality and style. The absence of exhaust pipes on the rear bumper unequivocally underscores its all-electric nature.

From a powertrain perspective, the iX4 is outfitted with BMW's state-of-the-art sixth-generation eDrive electric propulsion system, coupled with an 800V high-voltage platform. The dual-motor configuration boasts a maximum power output of 463 horsepower, coupled with a CLTC-rated driving range spanning from 580 to 620 kilometers. Moreover, a swift 10-minute fast charge is capable of replenishing up to 350 kilometers of driving range, ensuring convenience and efficiency.

The much-anticipated new car is projected to make its grand debut in the summer of 2026, with mass production earmarked to commence in November of the same year at BMW's state-of-the-art Debrecen plant in Hungary. This milestone marks the X4 series' definitive farewell to the internal combustion engine era, ushering in a new chapter of electric mobility.
