The BMW iX is renowned for its power in the electric car market as it boasts up to 500 bhp, which is outstanding for an EV. It manages to offer this immense power from its twin motors. Not only do they offer power, but they offer an impressive range. BMW's iX will offer its drivers 373 miles in range between charges, which may be of the longest-haul EV's yet.

BMW has used the new fifth-generation electric drive system for the iX. Not only is this the reason behind its remarkable range and power, but it will also offer high levels of autonomous and connected technology.

Its body is lightweight, made from aluminum, carbon fiber, composite plastic, and reinforced plastic. The materials give it a futuristic space-like look to align with its futuristic and outstanding abilities. This design is due to inspiring the future BMW 'i' models, with a lightweight body being a key feature.

Other exterior features that make the BMW iX stand out are its robust grille, frameless doors, 22-inch aerodynamic wheels, and smooth tapered glass. The robust grille is a key feature as it houses the cameras, radar, and sensors installed for the driver assistance systems. It appears sleek and unlike any other EV with its clamshell bonnet, designed not to be opened, and there is not much under the hood.

If you want your iX to stand out even more, you can choose Laser lights instead of the standard LED headlights for a fee.

Interior Features

Weber, BMW's R&D boss, announced that the iX had taken inspiration from the X5 for its size. It is spacious for the drivers and their passenger's convenience and comfort.

Inside, the iX is much more laid-back and refined. It is quite standard in appearance yet does boast some cool features. The textures are soft with microfabric fiber seats and recycled plastics.

Whether you want natural light, privacy, or protection from the sun, the iX boasts a panoramic sunroof. This adds to the luxury and futuristic style of the new BMW electric ride.

The steering wheel has been made smaller and easier to grip with its hexagonal shape. The center console has been removed for more simplicity, and the controls have been placed in the armrest. Other controls are set in the door trims.

For entertainment, the infotainment features have been grouped within the digital display. Again, this feature aligns with its simplicity and makes it easy and convenient for the driver.

BMW expects the iX to reach 0 to 62 mph in less than 5 seconds, which will make it one of the EV market's quickest cars off the mark. The iX is due to exceed more than 125 mph in speeds, yet to be tested and confirmed.

To make the EV more convenient and reliable, BMW has installed a new charging system that can offer DC fast charging at up to 200kW. This allows the battery to be charged from 10 to 80 percent in under 40 minutes.

How Much Will It Cost?

BMW has not yet released a price for the new iX. If you align the iX with other models, some may predict the new EV will be around $70,000. It is pretty steep for a new ride, but it looks to be the best EV from BMW yet. It is similar to the X5 in style, materials, performance, and power. The X5 retails for around $59,000. The additional battery pack and upgraded features may make the iX cost $5,000 to $10,000 more.

In summary, the BMW iX offers a futuristic and streamlined EV. It looks to be powerful, reliable, and robust from its performance to its build. It aims to be fast and quick off the mark while offering its driver space and comfort. It seems to be an all-rounder EV. If it lives up to its predictions, it looks to be an impressive high-performance electric BMW.
