2027 BMW iX4 Prices, Range and Australian Specs: Up to 828km Claimed

The 2027 BMW iX4 pairs a coupe-style body with the Neue Klasse electric vehicle platform, and its Australian lineup opens at $103,900 before on-road costs. Buyers can choose between two dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions at launch; the larger-battery 50 xDrive has a claimed WLTP range of 828km, while a high-performance M60 xDrive is due to join the range later in 2027.

The iX4 is based on the iX3, but its lower roof and sharply angled rear give it a different profile. BMW says the shape also improves aerodynamic efficiency. It’s the first coupe-style model on the Neue Klasse architecture, which is also used by the i3 and iX3. Australian buyers will get all-wheel drive across the iX4 lineup.

Prices and powertrains

The 40 xDrive costs $103,900 before on-road costs, and the 50 xDrive is priced at $119,900. That $16,000 step up brings a larger battery, more power and a higher claimed range. Both use BMW’s sixth-generation eDrive system, with an 800V electrical architecture, cylindrical battery cells and more efficient electric motors.

The 50 xDrive’s 190km claimed range advantage comes with 26.1kWh more net battery capacity. Its maximum DC charging rate is also 100kW higher, at 400kW versus 300kW for the 40 xDrive. Both are rated for 22kW AC charging. Those peak figures describe the vehicles’ stated charging capability; actual charging time depends on the charger and conditions. The figures also make the 50 xDrive the longer-distance choice on paper, while the 40 xDrive has the lower starting price.

Size and cargo space

The iX4 measures 4782mm long, 1895mm wide and 1595mm tall, with a 2897mm wheelbase. The boot holds 490 litres with the rear seats in place and 1600 litres when they’re folded. A 58-litre compartment under the bonnet adds space for smaller items. Those capacities give buyers a useful measure of the coupe roof’s trade-off against a more upright SUV body; the source figures don’t specify how rear headroom compares with the iX3.

Ownership, equipment and options

BMW lists a five-year, unlimited-kilometre vehicle warranty and an eight-year, 160,000km battery warranty. Roadside assistance is included for three years. The iX4 uses condition-based servicing rather than predetermined service intervals: the vehicle indicates when attention is due and can alert a dealer through connected services.

BMW hasn’t announced iX4 service-plan prices. For context, the related iX3’s four-year Service Inclusive plan costs $1614, while its six-year plan is $2420. Service Inclusive Plus costs $5535 for four years or $6615 for six years, and adds cover for wear items such as brake pads, discs and windscreen wipers. Those iX3 prices provide a reference point, but they aren’t confirmed iX4 costs.

The 40 xDrive and 50 xDrive share most of their standard equipment, so the main distinction is mechanical. Both get 20-inch M Sport wheels, M Sport brakes with blue calipers, a fixed panoramic glass roof, a power tailgate and a Mode 3 charging cable. Cabin technology includes a 43.3-inch Panoramic Vision display, a 17.9-inch touchscreen, a 3D head-up display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB+ radio and a Harman Kardon sound system.

Standard comfort features include heated, massaging front seats with eight-way power adjustment, lumbar and backrest-width adjustment, and memory settings. The steering wheel and rear seats are heated, and ambient lighting and climate control are included. Upholstery choices at no extra cost include Veganza in Black, Digital White, Castanea or Agave Green, as well as a Black combination of Veganza and Performtex faux suede.

The optional M Sport Pro package costs $3500 including GST and LCT. It adds red brake calipers, M seatbelts and steering wheel, plus M Sport front seats with 10-way adjustment, electric head restraints, heating, massage, memory and an illuminated M badge. Exterior details include a high-gloss black diffuser and mirror caps, a matching rear spoiler and a glass kidney grille in M Shadowline.

Wheel upgrades include three 21-inch designs priced from $2500 to $3200 and two 22-inch options at $5300 and $7700. Black or Adelaide Grey leather upholstery costs $4000, while a Digital White BMW Individual steering wheel is $300.

Alpine White is the standard exterior finish. Eight metallic paints cost $2000 each: Mineral White, Black Sapphire, M Brooklyn Grey, Space Silver, Fire Red, Ocean Wave Blue, Eucalyptus Green and BMW Individual Polarised Grey. BMW Individual Frozen Space Silver is a $6000 option. Interior Veganza choices include Black, Digital White, Castanea and Agave Green, each in a bicolour finish; Black is also available in Veganza and Performtex.

Safety and Australian arrival

The iX4 hasn’t yet been assessed by independent safety authority ANCAP. Standard driver-assistance equipment includes adaptive cruise control with stop/go, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, Steering and Lane Control Assistant, speed sign recognition and tyre-pressure monitoring. BMW says the system draws on four short-range radars, one mid-range radar, five cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors.

Australian deliveries are scheduled for the first quarter of 2027, from January to March. Pricing and specifications establish a clear split between the 40 xDrive’s lower entry price and the 50 xDrive’s larger battery, longer claimed range and faster maximum DC charging. The later-arriving M60 xDrive will add a performance-focused option, though its Australian price and specifications haven’t been provided.
