BMW iX (2021-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Breathtaking cabin with a superb standard of finish	Awkward looks aren't to all tastes
Serene, quick, and quiet to drive	Not available with seven seats
Long range of the xDrive50	Very expensive to buy

Quick Summary

The BMW iX is a large, premium all-electric SUV that represents a new era of design for BMW's high-end electric vehicles. Available with a 71kWh battery in the xDrive40 (257-mile WLTP range) or a larger 105kWh battery in the xDrive50 (381-mile WLTP range), it competes directly with the Audi e-tron and Tesla Model X. The divisive exterior design features an enormous grille, but the interior is where the iX truly excels, offering breathtaking cabin quality and luxury finishes that rival prestige brands like Bentley and Range Rover. The flat floor and electrically adjustable seats create exceptional comfort for all occupants, though the lack of a seven-seat option is a missed opportunity given the spacious platform shared with the X5.

Performance is impressive across the range, with even the xDrive40 delivering 322bhp and 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds, whilst the xDrive50 offers 516bhp and 4.6 seconds. The M60 variant adds 610bhp and a thrilling 3.8-second sprint. The iX handles with real sophistication, blending the X7's refinement with the X5's handling prowess, delivering serene, responsive driving with excellent body control. Running costs are significantly lower than petrol or diesel equivalents at around 7p per mile, with free VED road tax for all pure electric vehicles. The 500-litre boot expands to 1,750 litres with the rear seats folded, though it's smaller than rivals' offerings.

Best for: Buyers seeking a classy, full-sized luxury electric SUV with exceptional interior quality, refinement, and long-range capability, particularly those prioritising comfort and serenity over practicality.

Not ideal for: Those requiring seven seats, budget-conscious buyers, or those who dislike the distinctive exterior styling or prefer more engaging driving dynamics.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the iX if: You're seeking a classy, full-sized luxury electric SUV with exceptional interior quality, refinement, and long-range capability, particularly if you prioritise comfort and serenity over practicality.

Consider alternatives if: You require seven seats, have a limited budget, dislike the distinctive exterior styling, or prefer more engaging driving dynamics.

Competitive Position: The BMW iX stands out as the finest luxury electric SUV for those prioritising interior quality and refinement. Whilst the Tesla Model X offers greater practicality with seven-seat options and a larger boot, and the Audi e-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC provide competitive alternatives, the iX's breathtaking cabin finish, serene driving experience, and impressive performance make it the best choice for discerning buyers. Its 5.0 user rating reflects exceptional customer satisfaction, and the 38.4% good/great deals availability demonstrates strong market value for a premium offering.
