The BMW iX Electric Vehicle

BMW iX Offers Forward-Thinking Automotive Technology

Every time BMW has revealed details about the 2022 iX, glimpses of its capabilities and brand-new tech features have made waves across the auto industry. One of the most impressive is the grouping of smart sensors housed directly in the distinctive front grille. These sensors interact with various systems to provide camera views, location radar, and safety features.

Step Inside the Luxury Cabin — Despite its compact size, the iX will feature a spacious, cozy cabin that’s styled to inspire. Upholstery options include perforated SensaTec that’s durable and completely free of animal products, as well as blends of Microfiber with fabric that stays cool and comfortable. BMW has committed to using more sustainable fabrics without compromising quality or ergonomics, and the new iX is no exception.

Thoughtful Design with Impact — Frameless doors ease loading and unloading cargo, while also easing passenger entry and exits. This isn’t the only innovative feature of the exterior body, either. The new iX has an aerodynamic shape with a drag-reducing rear diffuser. This compact SUV-like body features the smartest design BMW has ever developed, resulting in better fuel economy, faster acceleration, and energy savings every time you drive.

Innovation to Envy — We’re looking forward to other unique features in the iX, including the electrochromic shading effect in its expansive moonroof or the haptic-controlled center console selections that look clean and minimal. You can also expect an immersive audio system with “invisible” speakers behind acoustic fabric, as well as an advanced infotainment display compatible with your favorite entertainment apps and a variety of active safety features.

Outstanding Performance Ratings — Forget the bumbling electric cars of the past; this sports activity vehicle can compete with high-octane gas engines, and even outpace them. The 2022 BMW iX uses an advanced, 113 kWh eclectic battery to reach speeds of up to 124 mph. Get behind the wheel of an iX to enjoy about 500 max horsepower and 0-to-60 acceleration in under 5 seconds. This electric-powered car doesn’t just imitate gas-powered sports vehicles; its revolutionary capabilities can perform with the best of them.

Upgrade for More Luxury — The upcoming M60 trim, an upgraded version of the iX, will include an even more powerful electric engine capable of producing as much as 600 horsepower. These are sportscar-level figures in an aerodynamic, compact SUV body style, all without the usual emissions of driving a gas sportscar.

All-wheel drive comes standard in the 2022 iX, delivering force through all 4 wheels to ensure optimal traction. As with other BMW all-wheel-drive systems, the iX will drive with control and composure, even in less-than-ideal conditions. Meanwhile, optional adjustable air suspension smooths out the road impact for a luxurious, comfortable drive. As with all other BMW vehicles, steering and braking are smooth and offer excellent feedback for satisfying drives.

The BMW Electric Driving Lifestyle

Some drivers may be hesitant to make the switch to 100% electric-powered cars. However, this is the future of automotive technology, and once you experience it, you’ll wonder why you held onto a gas vehicle for so long. Electric driving is easy to manage, plus it saves you money through potential tax breaks and lower fuel costs. It can save you time, because if you charge overnight, you’ll almost never run out during the day. When you drive an iX, you greatly reduce your environmental impact too.

Because the iX is a fully electric vehicle, it depends on power from the grid rather than a fossil fuel source. Instead of taking your car to the gas station to fuel up, you simply need an electric charging station to recharge your BMW iX. Your choices include a public charging unit, many of which allow you to charge up 100% free, and at-home charging with compatible ports and the Flexible Fast Charger cord. When set up properly, you can recharge your iX overnight in your garage or driveway.

For even faster charging at home, get the BMW Wallbox, which creates a smart electric charging bay right at home. Best of all, the iX refuels at competitive speeds. Ten minutes of DC fast charging can provide enough energy for about 75 miles of driving. When fully charged, the BMW iX has an impressive driving range of about 300 miles. That’s hours of driving without the need to recharge.
