BMW iX4 Spied: Coupe-Style EV Successor to X4 Takes Shape

The sighting underscores BMW's rapid Neue Klasse rollout, signaled by iX3 series production plus i3 output slated for Munich in late 2026.

Overview

  • Fresh spy photos show BMW testing the iX4, a coupe-roof electric SUV that shares much of its front architecture with the iX3.
  • Production of the gasoline X4 has ended, and BMW does not plan another combustion-powered X4 generation.
  • The iX4 is expected to mirror the iX3’s cabin with iDrive X, a 17.9-inch touchscreen and Panoramic Vision, while reports point to a late‑2026 reveal and a rumored November 2026 production start at Debrecen.
  • BMW says iX3 series production has begun in Debrecen, European orders already run several months into 2026, and additional builds are planned in China from 2026 and Mexico from 2027.
  • CEO Oliver Zipse confirmed the Neue Klasse i3 will enter production in Munich in the second half of 2026, and that a new X5 and a facelifted 7 Series will debut in 2026 with elements of Neue Klasse technology.
