Rakish BMW iX4 put through its paces

Brand's SAV, or Sports Activity Vehicle, has been reborn for the Neue Klasse generation
A NICHE that BMW invented is clearly being brought into the 21st century with the brand spotted putting a new coupé-SUV crossover through development testing.
This fresh model, possibly called the iX4, will join the groundbreaking iX3 as part of the ‘Neue Klasse’ era, sharing many of its key technical elements underneath a sleeker body.
As one of many new BMWs due in the next three years, we suspect this one will arrive in late 2026 or early 2027, with pricing slightly higher than its more upright iX3 counterparts, starting from around £65,000.
It also marks the latest evolution of BMW’s Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) series, a term that was coined in 1999 at the launch of the X5. It was given to SUV-style cars that prioritised on-road performance over off-road prowess.
