BMW’s iX is an elegant yet sporty mid-size SUV that excites with its all-electric powerplant while surrounding you with plenty of luxuries. It backs up its futuristic looks with a long list of cutting-edge technologies for enhancing your driving experience. Read on to learn all about the 2026 BMW iX!
Powertrain Options
The most basic variant of the iX, called the xDrive45, features an all-wheel-drive powertrain with two electric motors that produce a tremendous 402 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. That’s enough muscle to deliver 0-to-60 times of less than five seconds. Those desiring even more performance may opt for the 536-hp xDrive60 or the 650-hp M70. The latter is specially tuned by BMW’s famed M racing division and is capable of sprinting from 0 to 60 in just 3.6 seconds.
Range and Charging
Boasting a driving range of up to 312 miles, the iX’s xDrive45 model will certainly go the distance, whether you’re commuting every day or taking a trip across the country. The xDrive60 goes farther still, allowing you to travel 364 miles with a fully charged battery. As a driver of an electric BMW vehicle, you’ll enjoy access to more than 130,000 charging points across North America, so there are no limits to where you can take your iX.
Ride and Handling
A fully independent suspension featuring front and rear stabilizer bars means that the iX is effortlessly controllable and nimble in the turns while maintaining a peaceful ride quality. The optional 2-axle air suspension can automatically raise or lower itself in order to maximize handling or comfort, plus it offers manual settings, as well.
Further contributing to the iX’s excellent maneuverability is its available Integral Active Steering system. It complements the vehicle’s variable-ratio steering with a rear axle that can turn the rear wheels in the opposite direction of the front wheels to tighten the turning radius. At higher speeds, the system has all four wheels moving in the same direction for improved stability.
Interior
The iX’s spacious 5-seat interior is packed with high-end materials and creature comforts. Buyers will have a choice between plush SensaTec leatherette, genuine leather, and microfiber/wool upholstery. The panoramic eclipsing roof is available on the xDrive45 and standard on the xDrive60, letting in ample sunlight and instantly providing shade with the touch of a button. Beautiful M Dark Silver or Titanium Bronze interior trim adds visual flair.
Technology
Spanning from the driver’s side to the center of the dashboard is the high-resolution BMW Curved Display. It houses the digital instrument panel and infotainment display, enabling access to useful features like smartphone integration and 5G Wi-Fi. To the delight of discerning audiophiles, a powerful surround sound system from Harman Kardon comes standard. A wireless charging station is also standard, bringing greater convenience.
