For the start of 2022, BMW has announced a new EV model, the BMW iX. It is an SUV with the same length as the X5 but with more interior space than the X7 model.

The BMW iX will be offered in two versions. The more powerful version, the xDrive50, will be powered by two electric motors with 516 hp (385kW). The engine will be powered by a 111 kWh battery that provides a range of 390 miles (630 km). The slightly weaker version, the xDrive40, will use a 77 kWh battery and will have 322 hp (240kW). One battery charge will be enough for a range of 265 miles (425 km). The BMW iX will have an adjustable air suspension with rear-wheel drive. It takes about 5 seconds to reach 62 mph with a top speed of 124 mph (200 km / h).

Entering the vehicle, the first thing you will notice is the touchscreen located on the large instrument panel. The heated front seats are upholstered in leather, and Loft microfiber fabric will be offered as an option. There will also be a panoramic sunroof with electronic shading.

When it comes to entertainment, the BMW iX will be equipped with a new generation infotainment system, the iDrive 8. It includes a 14.9-inch display combined with a 12.3-inch cluster for better passenger enjoyment on longer journeys.

The base model of the BMW iX in the US will cost around $ 84,000, while buyers in Europe will have to pay around € 77,000 ($ 91,300) for the same model.
