All-Wheel Drive Confidence, Rain or Shine

BMW equips every 2026 iX with standard xDrive all-wheel drive, balancing power between the front and rear wheels for optimal grip. Whether you’re navigating slick city streets, tackling gravel backroads, or accelerating onto the highway, the iX stays planted and in control. The system works hand-in-hand with adaptive suspension to give you a smooth, comfortable ride while maintaining that signature BMW agility.

Range That Fits Your Lifestyle

Instead of MPG, the iX’s efficiency is measured in range per charge—and BMW delivers:

  • xDrive45: ~312 miles
  • xDrive60: ~340 miles
  • M70 xDrive: ~302 miles

With DC fast-charging capability, you can add up to 90 miles of range in about 10 minutes at a compatible public charging station. That makes road trips, commutes, and weekend adventures easier than ever.

Quiet Power, Engaging Drive

Inside the cabin, the absence of engine noise makes every drive more peaceful. Yet BMW didn’t forget about driving feel—the iX responds like a performance SUV should, with sharp steering, balanced cornering, and quick, confident acceleration. It’s a reminder that going electric doesn’t mean giving up the “Ultimate Driving Machine” experience.
