BMW has discovered a novel approach to infusing the sporty aesthetic of its SUV lineup into its electric vehicle offerings.
Audi has unveiled exclusive images of the 2026 Audi RS 5, specifically tailored for the Singapore Grand Prix.
The upcoming iX4 2027 model is set to revive the distinctive coupé design of its X4 predecessor, while incorporating cutting-edge technology from BMW's Neue Klasse family, which is capable of delivering up to 603 horsepower.
General Motors has identified a potential issue with the 2027 Corvette, specifically an oil leak, and has already developed a solution to address the problem.
The US commercial debut of the vehicle is slated for March 2027. The base model will have an initial price of $66,200, not including the destination charge, with a more advanced variant to follow at a later date.
The BMW iX4 boasts a design that closely aligns with its iX3 counterpart, yet distinctively sets itself apart through a more pronounced slope from the roofline to the rear. This design element imbues the vehicle with a sportier aesthetic, echoing the formula established by BMW in its previous SUV coupé models.
The new model boasts a length of 188.3 inches and a width of 74.6 inches, with a 114.1-inch axle distance. Standard features include the M Sport package and a panoramic glass ceiling.
Manufacturing of the new vehicle range is set to commence in Debrecen, Hungary, with the lineup initially available in nine distinct exterior color options.
The base model features two electric motor configurations, each paired with all-wheel drive capabilities.
The BMW iX4 50 xDrive boasts a powerful engine, producing 463 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque. This enables the vehicle to achieve a rapid 0 to 60 mph acceleration time of 4.7 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 130 mph.
The iX4 M60 xDrive model boasts a powerful 603-horsepower engine and 645 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 149 mph.
The M60 features a range of distinctive components, including 21-inch wheels, M Sport brakes with red calipers, and a performance-oriented steering wheel equipped with controls to engage various driving modes.
The vehicle's interior boasts an advanced infotainment system, highlighted by the BMW Panoramic iDrive interface, which displays essential information on the lower portion of the windshield. Additionally, a 17.9-inch central touchscreen is integrated, along with the option to incorporate a 3D front viewing system.
The vehicle's personal assistant enables users to engage with the system through natural voice commands. Additionally, the Highway Assistant feature will be available, permitting hands-free driving on designated highway sections at speeds of up to 85 mph, provided the system's conditions are met and the driver remains attentive to the road.
The M60 variant will feature a 13-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, which is compatible with Dolby Atmos technology.
BMW's 50 xDrive model is equipped with a 112.2 kilowatt-hour usable battery, enabling an estimated maximum range of up to 428 miles in the US market, according to the company's preliminary calculations.
The vehicle's advanced electric architecture supports rapid charging capabilities of up to 400 kW. Under optimal conditions, the brand reports that drivers can recover up to 184 miles of range in just 10 minutes.
The base price of the iX4 50 xDrive is set at $66,200, positioning it higher than the iX3 50 xDrive, which begins at $61,500.
