BMW continues to lead the charge in electric mobility with the launch of the new iX – an all-electric Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) that redefines the concept of progressive luxury, sustainability, and high-performance driving. With its exceptional range, enhanced performance, and striking design, the latest iteration of the BMW iX demonstrates why the brand remains at the forefront of electric vehicle innovation.

Thanks to the advanced BMW Efficient Dynamics technologies, the iX delivers a blend of increased driving performance and extended range, making it one of the top contenders in the competitive electric vehicle space.

Significant improvements in performance electronics, wheel bearings, and tire optimization have contributed to over an 8% improvement in fuel efficiency under the WLTP cycle. For the BMW iX xDrive60, this translates to an additional 60 km's of driving range, further enhancing the vehicle's long-distance capability.

Powerful Performance Across All Models

The new iX offers three distinct models: the BMW iX xDrive45, xDrive60, and the high-performance iX M70 xDrive. Each version has been engineered to provide outstanding performance while embracing the principles of electric mobility.

Enhanced Battery Technology for Long-Distance Travel

BMW’s new battery technology enhances the efficiency and energy capacity of the high-voltage battery. The BMW iX xDrive45’s battery now features a 30% increase in energy content, reaching 94.8 kWh, allowing for a range of up to 701 km’s. Meanwhile, the iX xDrive60 and iX M70 xDrive boast batteries with 109.1 kWh and 108.9 kWh energy content, respectively.

The optimized power electronics and inverter technology ensure efficient energy transfer from the battery to the motor, contributing to a more sustainable driving experience. Drivers can also benefit from the MAX RANGE function, which can extend the driving range by up to 25%, making long-distance trips even more convenient.

Sleek, Sporty Design and Customization

The exterior design of the BMW iX is striking, with a monolithic appearance and a focus on clean lines and distinctive proportions. The redesigned kidney grille and adaptive LED headlights contribute to the vehicle’s bold look.
