BMW iX4 Prototype Spied, Signaling Electric Successor to X4

Spy shots underscore BMW’s move to replace the retiring X4 with an electric Neue Klasse model expected to surface in late 2026.

Overview

  • Fresh images capture a camouflaged coupe-SUV test car with a sloping roof and fastback tail, while the front closely mirrors the iX3.
  • The iX4 is being developed on the Neue Klasse platform and is planned as an all‑electric model only.
  • The cabin is expected to replicate the iX3 with Panoramic iDrive running Operating System X and a 17.9‑inch central touchscreen.
  • BMW has already ended gasoline X4 production and will end diesel builds this month, with no next combustion-powered X4 planned.
  • A debut is reported for late 2026 and series production is rumored for November 2026 in Debrecen, with powertrains projected to follow the iX3’s single- and dual-motor options.
