The BMW X4 is saying goodbye, but don't mourn it too soon. Here comes the BMW iX4, built on the Neue Klasse platform, promising 345 kW of power, futuristic design, and that signature Bavarian arrogance we all secretly love.
Let's face it, the automotive world has become predictable. BMW announces model, the internet goes crazy, “purists” cry for inline sixes, and in the end everyone buys an electric crossover. The current BMW X4, that strange but beloved ugly duckling, is saying goodbye. But don’t worry, its soul is moving into the digital age. Introducing the new BMW iX4, which we in the editorial office visualized for you with the help of advanced artificial intelligence and insider information, even before the Bavarians even thought of removing the camouflage foil.
If you thought the concept was New Class just a design exercise for dreamers, you were wrong. New BMW iX3 is already a reality knocking on the door, bringing a revolution that will define the brand for the next decade. But for us, for whom “practicality” is a word we only use when choosing a washing machine, the real star of the upcoming BMW iX4 (2027).
We didn't wait for the official photos in the editorial office. We took the known facts, the lines of the new iX3, added a pinch of algorithmic magic and created renders that show exactly what's cooking in Munich. And the result? It looks damn good.
Design: When an algorithm understands aerodynamics better than a human
Look at these pictures. This is no longer just a fantasy. Since the new iX3 has already laid the foundation with its monolithic, clean design, the iX4 is a logical evolution. The front end is recognizable – the digital kidney grilles have finally calmed down and no longer look like a beaver's smile after a visit to the orthodontist. They are wide, flat and integrated with the headlights.
“This is not a car drawn with pencil on paper. This is a car generated by code, dictated by the wind.”
The BMW iX4's sideline? This is where the drama happens. The roof drops faster than the value of cryptocurrencies in a bearish trend. Of course, this means your friends in the back seat will be cursing every time we drive over a speeding cop, but look at that rear! Muscular, wide, and with lights so thin you could shave your head with them. Our AI renders clearly show: The iX4 will be a visual aggressor.
Numbers that will keep you glued to your seat
Underneath that digitally generated sheet metal is some serious tech. The Neue Klasse platform delivers an 800-volt architecture, meaning this thing will charge faster than you can drink your fill. macchiato.
Let's talk about the drive 50 xDriveForget liters and cylinders, here are watts and newton meters:
-
Power: 345 kW (469 hp / 463 bhp). That's enough power to outrun your own shadow.
-
Torque: 645 Nm (476 lb-ft). Torque is what kicks you in the ass, and with the iX4, that kick will be instant.
-
Acceleration: 0–100 km/h (0–60 mph) in 4.7 secondsFor a “family” car? Absurd.
-
Final speed: 209 km/h (130 mph). Electronically limited, otherwise the battery would be drained in 15 minutes on the German Autobahn.
Reach and Technology: The End of Anxiety
One of the main concerns with electric lifestyle vehicles is whether you can get them to a fancy resort without the embarrassment of calling a tow truck. The new BMW iX4 will be equipped with sixth-generation (Gen6) battery technology. They aim to 644 km (400 miles) range according to WLTP. Realistic? Let's say a safe 500 kilometers of dynamic driving.
The interior will follow the iX3 philosophy – Panoramic Vision. Forget about a dashboard full of buttons, like you're in an 80s airplane. Everything moves to the bottom edge of the windshield. Information will float in front of you. Is it safe? Probably. Does it look cool? Absolutely.
“With this model, BMW isn’t targeting people who need a car. It’s targeting people who want an extension of their smartphone, except it has 470 horsepower.”
The coupe shape means the trunk will be smaller than the iX3. But let's be honest - if you buy the iX4, you're probably only carrying a golf bag or your ego in the trunk. You've got a delivery for the fridge.
Conclusion: Prepare your wallets (and nerves)
BMW iX4 (2027), as we visualized it with our AI tools, is not just another electric car. It's a statement. It's proof that BMW understands that electric doesn't have to be boring. It's faster than most things on the road, smarter than your computer, and it looks like something out of a science fiction movie.
Will I miss the sound of the six-cylinder from the old X4 M40i? Maybe when I'm nostalgic with a glass of wine. But when I press the gas in the iX4 and the silence shoots me towards the horizon, I'll probably forget that gasoline ever existed. Price? Probably high. Worth it? If you want to be noticed – definitely.
