The new BMW iX is more than just a way for BMW to dip a toe in the electric SUV market; they are all-in and ready to get you driving.
This new electric SUV is made to charge quickly, give you excellent driving range, and is made to be as earth-friendly as it possibly can be. The process of making this new SUV has been changed from traditional practices to being friendly to the environment and maintaining a low carbon footprint while being made. BMW is ready to make you proud to drive an electric luxury SUV, and the iX is only the first one to get to the market.
Quick, Quiet, and Ready to Drive
The iX is rated with some incredible power numbers that will make it quick. The fact that it’s an electric SUV allows it to make use of the full torque range right away and be one of the quietest SUVs that you’ll find in the market. BMW rates this SUV to reach sixty mph in 4.6 seconds, which is incredible. The top speed is electronically limited to 124 mph, but you should never need to hit that number during your drive.
You Can Feel Great About the Drive
When you select the BMW iX, you’re making a statement and a commitment to excellence and sustainability. This SUV is a zero-emissions vehicle that brings you the dynamic and athletic drive that you expect from BMW. The sourcing and building of the iX bring you serious respect for the environment and the world we live in. This is the first BMW model with 5G capability to give you some amazing tech qualities to enjoy. You’ll be glad to have the driving range, the fast charging, and a vehicle that never emits harmful gasses into the air.
Driving Modes to Make Your Ride More Fun
If you think the quickness of the iX is admirable, you should get in and take this SUV out for a ride on the roads. You’ll have a pair of driving modes to choose from for when you want to save electric power in Efficient mode, or you want to unleash this electric monster in Sport mode. The battery pack is mounted in the floor to give you a low center of gravity, helping this SUV handle the curves and tear up the winding and curvy roads that you’ll find.
Open the Door to the Future
As soon as you look inside the BMW iX, you’re going to see a hexagonal steering wheel with smoothed-off corners that give you a futuristic look. To the right of this wheel, you’ll see an impressive 14.9-inch curved infotainment screen that gives you the controls you need on a screen that’s large and impressive. There’s also a 12.3-inch driver information screen in front of you. The cabin is mostly made of recyclable materials, and you’ll see an overhead camera that can take photos of you and your riding companions. You’ll find tons of cargo room in this SUV with 34 cubic feet behind the rear seats that expands to 72 cubic feet when the seats are folded.
The Exterior is More than Just Stylish
This new electric SUV has the thinnest LED headlights and taillights ever used by BMW for a vehicle, and the double-kidney grille is more of an appearance feature than a functional one. That being said, this is where BMW has put cameras and sensors to aid with your drive. You’ll see flush-fitting door handles, frameless windows, and a stylish SUV that’s made to cut the drag. The drag is cut to the point of offering a 0.25 drag coefficient to help you conserve as much battery power as possible.
The Infotainment System is Impressive
Your favorite quality of the BMW iX might be its sustainability, but we’ve mentioned that enough already. The infotainment system of this electric SUV is another feature you’re sure to admire. The 14.9-inch curved touchscreen runs one of the most advanced systems in the market. You’ll have the benefits of advanced voice recognition, over-the-air updates, and assistant features for you to have the qualities you’re looking for. This system can help you when making navigation, parking, and charging decisions.
