2022 BMW IX


BMW’s first electric SUV will go on sale this
spring. The dual-motor, all-wheel-drive EV is
comparable to the X5 in size and produces
impressive power in the base xDrive50 model:
516 horsepower and 564 lb-ft of torque. BMW
will also introduce a more powerful M60 model
with 610 horsepower.


The iX’s driving range is an EPA-estimated
305 to 324 miles, depending on wheel size.
Acceleration is quick; BMW says 0-60 mph
happens in 4.6 seconds for the base iX or 3.6
seconds for the M60. Inside, owners will be
treated to a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel,
a 14.9-inch central display screen, and an
available electro-chromatic panoramic sunroof.
The trigger phrase for the infotainment system’s
voice-activated virtual assistant is customizable,
so you’re not stuck having to say “Hey, BMW.”


Starting price: $85,795
