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 (2021-present) is a large, premium all-electric SUV designed to compete with models like the Audi e-tron and Tesla Model X. It offers a choice of battery options, including a 71kWh battery in the xDrive40 with up to 257 miles WLTP range, and a larger 105kWh battery in the xDrive50 offering up to 381 miles. The M60i, introduced later, boasts 610bhp and a 352-mile range. While its design, particularly the large grille, can be divisive, it marks a new era for BMW's high-end electric cars, focusing on modernity and luxury.

Inside, the iX sets a new benchmark for luxury with high-quality materials, crystal accents, and a curved 14.9-inch infotainment screen. It's spacious, particularly in the rear, though it lacks a seven-seat option. All models are powerful, with the xDrive40 delivering 322bhp, offering a quick, smooth, and refined drive with sophisticated handling. Running costs are lower than petrol/diesel SUVs, with free VED road tax, though initial purchase price and maintenance for tyres, servicing, and insurance remain high. The iX prioritises serenity and comfort, making it a delight to drive despite minor infotainment quirks.

Best for: Drivers seeking a luxurious, serene, and technologically advanced electric SUV; those prioritising interior quality and refinement over sportiness or maximum practicality (like 7 seats). Buyers looking for strong performance and long range.

Not ideal for: Buyers on a budget; those needing seven seats; drivers who prefer a more conventional exterior design or more intuitive traditional iDrive controls; those who prioritise ultimate agility (like a Jaguar I-Pace) or maximum cargo space/frunk (like a Tesla Model X).


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the iX if: You're looking for a luxurious, technologically advanced, and serene all-electric SUV with a high-quality interior and strong performance, and you don't require seven seats.

Consider alternatives if: You're on a tighter budget, need seven seats, prefer a more conventional exterior design, or prioritise ultimate agility or maximum cargo flexibility (e.g., a frunk).

Competitive Position: The BMW iX stands out in the premium electric SUV segment for its exceptional interior luxury, advanced technology, and refined driving experience. While its exterior design can be polarising and it doesn't offer seven seats like the Tesla Model X, it rivals the ambience of a Range Rover. Its strong performance and long range, particularly in the xDrive50, make it a compelling choice for buyers prioritising comfort, quality, and electric power, even with a high price tag.
