Essentially a sleeker, lower-roof companion to the iX3, it trades practicality for a more dramatic silhouette while keeping technology and dynamics that define BMW's Neue Klasse models.Even if cargo space is lacking, the iX4 remains an impressive EV with long range and fast charging. Its strong dual-motor powertrains and BMW's new Heart of Joy control system promise excitement behind the wheel, especially in the M60 model. Regardless of variant, the iX4's cabin showcased BMW's latest tech and amenities.As with the X4 before it, the iX4 is an SUV that delivers emotion rather than maximum practicality.
