Buyer’s Guide
History/Overview
If you want a view into BMW’s future, look no further than the iX, its new compact all-electric crossover, whose futuristic styling borrows elements – like its controversial grille – from some of the brand’s other recent models.
What’s New/Key Changes From Last Year
All-new model.
Available Trims
BMW offers the iX in xDrive40, xDrive50, and M60 trim levels, each of which builds on the model before it with more power and performance.
Standard Features
The iX xDrive40 comes with 20-inch wheels, leather upholstery, heated front seats and steering wheel, auto-dimming/power-folding side mirrors, ambient interior lighting, automatic high beams, parking assistant, and digital gauges.
xDrive50 models gain four-wheel steering, air suspension, and four-zone climate control.
The M60 comes with 21-inch wheels, privacy glass, and active protection.
Key Options
A premium essential package adds wireless phone charging, a head-up display, passive keyless entry, multifunction front seats, and a panoramic sunroof. A premium enhanced pack builds on that with surround-view cameras, an upgraded stereo, a heat comfort package, soft-close doors, and a drive recorder.
Fuel Economy
As of this writing, BMW had only published energy consumption estimates for the xDrive50 model, which is rated at 2.7/2.7 Le/100 km (city/highway) in base form; versions with larger (21- and 22-inch) wheels are nominally less efficient.
Competition
With the iX, BMW enters a segment that already includes the Audi E-Tron, Tesla Model Y, and Jaguar I-Pace.

2022 BMW iX Review: Don't Fear the Electrified Future
The 2022 BMW iX xDrive50 is undeniably expensive, with a starting price exceeding $92,000. But in a market moving towards electrification at a quickening rate, this is anything but a compliance car (er, crossover). With an easy-to-drive demeanour, decent range, and impressive features, this iX is a technological showpiece that’s equal parts packed with value and worth every penny in terms of luxury.
