2027 BMW iX4 Price and Specs: Neue Klasse Electric SUV Coupe Headed to Australia

BMW Australia has confirmed the local pricing and specification details for its new iX4 electric SUV coupe, set to launch in the first quarter of 2027. Serving as the sportier, swept-back counterpart to the iX3, the iX4 represents the third model built on the brand's dedicated electric Neue Klasse architecture.

A high-performance flagship, the M60 xDrive, is slated to join the Australian range later in 2027 with M-specific all-wheel-drive tuning and chassis upgrades.

By adopting a lower roofline and a raked rear profile, the iX4 achieves a drag coefficient of 0.23, prioritising aerodynamic efficiency over outright cargo volume.

Powertrain, Charging, and Dimensions

Both launch variants utilise BMW's sixth-generation eDrive technology, integrating an 800-volt electrical architecture with newly developed cylindrical battery cells. The new setup promises charging speeds and overall range improvements of approximately 30 per cent compared to previous generations.

The entry-level 40 xDrive generates 275kW and 520Nm from its dual motors, drawing from an 82.6kWh battery to deliver a claimed WLTP range of 638km. The 50 xDrive steps up to 345kW and 645Nm, utilising a larger 108.7kWh battery to reach a claimed 828km range. Despite differing peak DC charge rates—300kW for the 40 xDrive and 400kW for the 50 xDrive—both models can complete a 10 to 80 per cent fast charge in 21 minutes under ideal conditions.

Safety and Servicing

The iX4 integrates a comprehensive sensor suite comprising four short-range radars, one mid-range radar, five cameras, and 12 ultrasonic sensors. Standard active safety systems include adaptive cruise control with stop/go, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, Steering and Lane Control Assistant, and speed sign recognition. The vehicle has not yet been crash-tested by ANCAP.

BMW covers the iX4 with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty and an eight-year/160,000km battery warranty, along with three years of roadside assistance. Servicing operates on a condition-based schedule where the vehicle notifies the owner when maintenance is required. While exact pre-paid service plan costs for the iX4 have not been announced, equivalent plans on the related iX3 cost $1,614 for four years or $2,420 for six years.
