BMW iX Overview
The BMW iX is BMW’s flagship electric SUV, blending luxury with cutting-edge electric performance. Positioned in the midsize SUV category, the iX stands out with bold styling and advanced technology that showcases BMW’s vision for sustainable mobility. Available in multiple configurations, including the iX xDrive40 and the more powerful iX M60, the iX offers a range of driving capabilities to suit different needs, while maintaining the brand’s hallmark of driving pleasure.
- Launch
-
BMW launched the iX globally in late 2021, with deliveries beginning in 2022. As the brand's first fully electric SUV built from the ground up, the iX was designed to emphasize sustainability and efficiency while maintaining luxury. Since its release, the iX has gained attention for its strong performance and forward-thinking tech, competing directly with premium electric SUVs like the Tesla Model X and Audi e-tron.
- Platform, Chassis and Powertrain
-
The iX is built on a bespoke electric platform that supports BMW’s “Neue Klasse” design philosophy, optimized for EV performance and space efficiency. The iX xDrive40 model is powered by dual electric motors producing 240 kW, while the iX M60 pushes out an impressive 455 kW, delivering 0-100 km/h times as quick as 3.8 seconds. Both models feature BMW’s xDrive electric all-wheel-drive system. Equipped with a 76.6 kWh battery in the base model and a 111.5 kWh battery in the M60, the iX has a range of up to 630 kilometers on the WLTP cycle.
- Technology Features
-
BMW packed the iX with the latest in-vehicle technology, headlined by the iDrive 8.0 system with dual 14.9-inch curved displays that serve as the digital instrument cluster and infotainment screen. The iDrive system supports voice, gesture, and touch controls, along with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a native 5G capability. BMW's ConnectedDrive services and over-the-air updates ensure the iX remains current. Options include a head-up display, a Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround sound system, and BMW's unique Shy Tech features, where controls are seamlessly integrated into the interior design.
- Exterior
-
With a bold, futuristic look, the iX breaks from BMW’s traditional design cues. Its front grille features a vertically oriented kidney grille with a self-healing coating that repairs minor scratches when exposed to heat. The streamlined body, aerodynamic wheels, and flush door handles contribute to the SUV’s impressive 0.25 drag coefficient. LED headlamps come standard, with the option for advanced Laserlight units that extend visibility on the road.
- Interior
-
The iX interior emphasizes spaciousness and minimalism, blending luxury materials with sustainable elements like FSC-certified wood and olive-leaf-tanned leather. BMW's new seat design offers enhanced comfort with optional heating, ventilation, and massage functions. The flat floor design maximizes interior space, and the open, lounge-like cabin is complemented by customizable ambient lighting. Rear passengers enjoy ample head and legroom, and the rear cargo space offers up to 500 liters, expandable with the rear seats folded.
- Safety
-
BMW’s iX prioritizes safety with a comprehensive set of standard and optional features. Standard driver assistance includes forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and blind-spot detection. The iX also offers an optional Driving Assistant Professional package, featuring adaptive cruise control, automatic lane-keeping, and BMW’s Extended Traffic Jam Assistant for semi-autonomous driving in certain conditions. Advanced safety tech, like automatic emergency braking and cross-traffic alert, are also available to enhance occupant
