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 competes with the Audi e-tron and Tesla Model X. Available with two main battery options, the 71kWh battery in the xDrive40 delivers an official WLTP range of up to 257 miles, whilst the larger 105kWh battery in the xDrive50 offers up to 381 miles. The high-performance M60 variant, arriving in 2022, provides up to 352 miles of range. This first-generation iX marks a new era of design for BMW's premium electric vehicles, featuring a distinctive and divisive front grille that certainly makes a statement.

Inside, the BMW iX excels with exceptional quality and luxury throughout. The flat floor and spacious cabin provide excellent comfort for all occupants, with electrically adjustable seats and integrated headrests. The 500-litre boot expands to 1,750 litres with the rear seats folded. Driving dynamics are sophisticated, blending refinement with responsive handling and smooth acceleration across all variants. The new BMW Operating System 8 infotainment is intuitive with excellent graphics, whilst equipment levels are generous even on entry models. Running costs are significantly lower than petrol or diesel equivalents, with charging costing around 7p per mile and VED road tax free for all pure electric vehicles.

Best for: Buyers seeking a classy, full-sized luxury electric SUV with exceptional interior quality, refinement, and long-range capability, particularly those who value serene driving and premium finishes.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising seven-seat configurations, buyers sensitive to distinctive styling, or those seeking the most practical boot space or the most engaging driving dynamics available in the segment.


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 value serene driving and premium finishes.

Consider alternatives if: You require seven-seat configurations, prioritise the most practical boot space, seek the most engaging driving dynamics, or are sensitive to distinctive styling.

Competitive Position: The BMW iX is a truly lovely vehicle that sets a new benchmark for luxury in electric SUVs. Its breathtaking cabin, superb finish, and serene driving experience challenge rivals like the Range Rover for general ambience and on-road refinement. Whilst the distinctive styling and premium pricing may not suit all buyers, and the Tesla Model X offers greater practicality with seven-seat options, the iX remains the best choice for those prioritising interior quality and refinement. The Audi e-tron and Mercedes-Benz EQC are competent alternatives, but neither matches the iX's perceived luxury and finish.
