The new BMW iX – Car Body Design

Available in xDrive45, xDrive60, and M70 xDrive variants

Exterior Design

The iX continues to define a modern, electrified interpretation of the SAV, combining minimalist surfaces, aerodynamic efficiency, and bold design elements. The new edition enhances sportiness and presence with refined front, side, and rear treatments.

At the front, the redesigned BMW kidney grille integrates a vertical and diagonal pattern, doubling as an intelligent sensor housing.

The adaptive LED headlights feature a new, vertically oriented lighting signature, contributing to a sleek, high-tech aesthetic.

The clean side profile is emphasized by frameless glass doors, flush door handles, and squared wheel arches, reinforcing its muscular stance. Aerodynamic side mirrors, integrated into the lower window frame, optimize airflow while adding a refined visual touch.

At the rear, the wide proportions are highlighted by slim, horizontal LED taillights within a clean, sculptural tailgate.

The M Sport package further enhances the athletic profile with larger air intakes, a redesigned rear apron, and vertical reflectors, creating a dynamic, aggressive presence.

The M70 xDrive variant introduces blacked-out elements, an illuminated BMW Iconic Glow grille, and exclusive 22-inch alloy wheels, reinforcing its performance-driven character.

A new range of metallic finishes, including Arctic Race Blue, Carbon Black, and Frozen Deep Grey, complements the BMW iX’s sculptural form, reinforcing its cutting-edge, all-electric identity.

Interior Design

The BMW iX interior blends spaciousness, minimalist aesthetics, and advanced technology. The cabin features frameless glass surfaces, floating center console, and a curved BMW Live Cockpit display, creating a modern, open atmosphere.

M Sport seats with microfibre/Sensatec upholstery, an M leather steering wheel, and Dark Silver trim accents enhance the sporty appeal. Premium options include a Sky Lounge panoramic glass roof, Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System, and ambient lighting.

Key features include:

• BMW Operating System 8.5 with iDrive for intuitive touch and voice control.
• 5G connectivity, BMW Digital Key, and My BMW App integration.
• Advanced driver assistance systems, including Level 2+ Highway Assistant and Automated Parking Assistant.

Performance and Efficiency

The dual-motor all-wheel drive system has been refined for increased power across all models:

• xDrive45: 408 hp (300 kW), 0-100 km/h in 5.1 sec
• xDrive60: 544 hp (400 kW), 0-100 km/h in 4.6 sec
• M70 xDrive: 659 hp (485 kW), 0-100 km/h in 3.8 sec

The battery technology has been improved, with the xDrive45 now offering a 30% increase in capacity (94.8 kWh), while higher trims feature 109 kWh packs. Efficiency enhancements include new power electronics, lower rolling resistance tires, and adaptive recuperation.

Charging speeds have increased, with DC fast charging up to 195 kW, enabling significant range recovery in minutes. The BMW iX also supports intelligent navigation, optimizing routes based on available charging stations.
