A Vehicle Tour of the New BMW iX
The new, all-electric BMW iX is bound to grab your attention and keep it. With striking looks, cutting-edge technology, and the toughness to tackle just about any outdoor adventure – all with zero driving emissions, is quite some feat.
The objective was to create a vehicle that delivers “fully-electric driving pleasure” and it’s safe to say BMW has absolutely smashed the brief.
We’ve taken a closer look at the exceptional SAV, which has been hailed as BMW’s most important new car in recent years.

Exterior
The BMW iX has a radical, futuristic shape which truly makes it stand out from the crowd.
From the front, you’ll certainly not miss the enlarged kidney grille, which sits between BMW’s narrowest ever headlights. At the side, massive 22-inch alloys set a commanding stance, whilst streamlined contours around the wheels and flush door handles create an elegant touch. At the back, narrow rear lights and an integrated tailgate exude modern style.
Interior
The inside feels just as futuristic as the outside. Luxurious comfort has been made a priority with re-designed seats, including lounge seats in the rear.
A 12.3-inch Information Display merges with a 14.9-inch Control Display which creates a curved unit, taking driver controls to the next level. The iDrive 8 infotainment system provides some exciting new features such as 5G connectivity, mixed-reality satellite navigation and the ability to use your smartphone in place of a conventional key.
Plus, BMW has created their first racing-inspired hexagonal steering wheel which features multifunctional buttons to further aid driver connectivity and control.
There's a generous amount of legroom and headroom in the back thanks to the vehicle’s large proportions. Boot space is also in abundance, with a 500-litre capacity, meaning you’ll be able to pack your belongings in with ease.

Two model variants will be available; the BMW iX xDrive40 and the range-topping BMW iX xDrive50.

The BMW iX can promise an electrifying drive in more ways than one, and it symbolises the start of a new era for BMW and its electric mobility mission.
