Introduced in 2021 as BMW’s first purpose-built all-electric Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV), the BMW iX defined a new chapter for the brand with its pioneering design, cutting-edge technology and dynamic electrified drive. This latest iteration builds on its success with a refreshed sportier design, increased system power output and a significant boost in range – now offering up to 426 miles (WLTP) on a single charge.
New model designations reflect the new BMW iX’s increased performance, available as the BMW iX xDrive45 (power consumption combined according to WLTP: 20.9 kWh/62 miles); CO2 class: A), the BMW iX xDrive60 M Sport (power consumption combined according to WLTP: 21.0 kWh/62 miles); CO2 class: A) and the range-topping BMW iX M70 xDrive (power consumption combined according to WLTP: 23.6 kWh/62 miles); CO2 class: A).
Thanks to redeveloped performance electronics, advancements in battery technology and new measures to enhance overall efficiency, power consumption in the statutory WLTP test cycle has been improved by more than eight per cent (depending on the model derivative and specified equipment). In the new BMW iX xDrive60 (which succeeds the BMW iX xDrive50) this corresponds to around 34 miles of additional range.
Redesigned trims contribute towards a bolder exterior presence which continues inside the cabin. The most significant changes come with an enhanced M Sport trim, which brings sculpted front and rear aprons, new aerodynamically optimized 21- and 22-inch M light-alloy wheels, among other exclusive design features. An additional set of 23-inch M light-alloy wheels are available for the first time and are unique within this segment.
The UK remains a key market for the new BMW iX, alongside the USA and Germany. All derivatives will continue to be produced at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing, the BMW Group’s largest European production plant, centre of competence for electric drivetrains and the lead plant for premium and luxury class models.
