Range is a top priority for drivers considering all-electric SUVs like the BMW iX or the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV. You want the power to get where you're going and the muscle to power through whatever the road throws your way. With its longer estimated range, higher horsepower, and available performance variant, the BMW iX checks every box.

Once again, the BMW iX leads the charge--literally. With greater range and more built-in tech, it delivers extended road time and an elevated driving experience. Meanwhile, Q4 e-tron drivers will need to upgrade for features that come standard on the iX--or miss out entirely on innovations that aren't offered at all in Audi's compact EV.

Tesla may have ignited the EV revolution, but BMW refined it. With greater range, more distinctive options, and included maintenance, the BMW iX builds on what the Model X started, then elevates it. Proof that you don't have to be first to lead, and you certainly don't have to follow.

The BMW iX offers 500 litres (17.7 cubic feet) of cargo space behind the rear seats, plenty of room for groceries, luggage, or sports equipment. Fold the rear seats flat, and capacity expands to 1,750 litres (61.8 cubic feet), providing the space needed for larger loads like moving boxes or home improvement supplies.

A Bold & Sporty Statement

From first glance to final impression, the BMW iX's sculpted silhouette exudes confidence, mirroring your own. Signature design elements like the expansive, illuminated BMW Iconic Kidney Grille create a striking visual identity, day or night. Aerodynamic enhancements and a low, wide stance optimize efficiency while commanding a strong presence on the road.

Over a dozen wheel designs ranging from 20 to 23 inches in a variety of finishes dial up the performance aesthetic. A curated palette of more than a dozen exterior colours, from classic Alpine White and Black Sapphire to bold Aventurine Red III and Tanzanite Blue, lets you personalize your statement. Whether parked or in motion, the BMW iX is designed to be unforgettable.

Mobile Lounge, Unmatched Luxury

Stepping inside the BMW iX feels like entering a tranquil oasis on wheels: intelligently crafted with an emphasis on eco-conscious design and elevated comfort. Standard Sensatec upholstery offers a refined starting point, while available options like perforated leather deliver texture and distinction. The iX M70 xDrive sharpens the experience with M Sport interior design, featuring brightly coloured M patches and laser-style accents on velvety soft microfibre.

True to its BMW heritage, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard, along with privacy glass, while indulgent available touches like glass controls and front seat massage functionality redefine modern comfort. The available Sky Lounge Panoramic Glass Sunroof spans the full cabin, inviting natural light and enhancing the open, lounge-like ambiance. More than just luxurious, it's an interior designed to make every journey feel like home.

Charging time depends on your setup. On a 9.6 kW Wallbox, the BMW iX xDrive45 charges fully in about 11.25 hours, while the iX xDrive60 takes around 13. For the fastest option, DC fast charging gets the BMW iX xDrive45 from 10-80% in about 34 minutes and the iX xDrive60 in roughly 35.

Power and Precision

Under the hood, the BMW iX is powered by dual electric motors delivering up to 650 total horsepower, depending on your choice of its three configurations. That translates to a lightning-fast 0-100 km/h acceleration in as little as 3.8 seconds, placing the iX among the top performers in the electric SUV segment.

Standard xDrive--BMW's intelligent all-wheel drive system--along with adaptive suspension technology, delivers superior traction and stability, so you can boldly tackle less-than-ideal conditions. Its low centre of gravity lets you handle narrow city streets, winding country roads, and sharp turns with ease. At the same time, available Integral Active 4-Wheel Steering enhances control and precision when manoeuvring through congested parking garages and tight urban settings.

Long Journeys Made Easy

The BMW iX is equipped with a high-capacity battery offering an estimated range of up to 586 kilometres on a full charge.* That kind of range makes the iX a compelling choice for longer road trips, minimizing the need for frequent stops to recharge.

Charging is seamless whether you're at home or on the go. Plug into a standard household outlet overnight, or install a Level 2 BMW Wallbox for faster charging at home. On the road, access BMW's extensive network of DC fast-charging stations, including up to 80% charge in around 34 minutes at compatible stations.

With BMW Maps and the My BMW App planning your charging stops, the iX lets you move through every mile with calm, control, and confidence.

Think of it like a smartwatch or smart home device: it runs quietly in the background until you need it. In the iX, the kidney grille actually houses an available 360-degree camera and radar system, all tucked out of sight. It gives you what you need right when you need it, sometimes before you even realize it.

Immersive Tech

The iX features an advanced infotainment system anchored by its sweeping BMW Curved Display. It fuses a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster with a 14.9-inch touchscreen, delivering over 27 inches of uninterrupted digital interface. Powered by BMW's iDrive operating system, it offers fast, intuitive controls and a refined user experience. Wireless Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ come standard, as does wireless device charging for added everyday convenience.

An 18-speaker Harman Kardon® Surround Sound System is also standard, providing a rich, detailed sound that enhances every journey, whether it's a quiet solo drive or a weekend road trip with family. For true audiophiles, the available 1,615-watt Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System adds 30 speakers, diamond tweeters, eight headrest speakers, and 1,615 watts for an extraordinary in-cabin audio experience.

Everyday Assurance

When it comes to safety, the BMW iX is equipped with an array of advanced driver-assistance features designed to support your awareness and reduce driving fatigue. Standard technologies include Rear Collision Prevention, Driving Assistant, Lane Change Warning and Lane Departure Warning, each working together to enhance protection in a range of real-world scenarios.

For even greater convenience, BMW offers several available safety packages that introduce semi-autonomous functionality:

• Driving Assistant Professional maintains lane position and at a safe following distance at up to 210 km/h.
• Parking Assistant Professional recognizes suitable parking spaces and can automatically park itself.
• Highway Assistant enables hands-free driving on compatible highways at speeds up to 130 km/h, as long as the driver remains attentive.

Whether you're commuting through the city or taking a weekend road trip with family, the iX is engineered to help you arrive with greater ease, awareness, and control.
