TheĀ 2024 BMW iX ranks among the top electric SUVs for its standout performance and unmatched luxury. Explore the five key features that put this innovative crossover head and shoulders above the competition.

1. Impressive Power and Acceleration

Each iX trim has a distinct powertrain. The base model delivers 516 horsepower with two electric motors and a battery, while the upgraded version enhances this set-up to achieve 610 hp. With the standard configuration, you’ll experience a zero-to-60 time of just 4 seconds. The 610-hp powertrain slashes that time to an incredible 3.2 seconds.

2. Exceptional Range and Efficiency

The BMW iX can take you up to 324 miles on a single battery charge. With a Level 3 charger, it only takes 10 minutes to add 90 miles of range to a depleted battery.

3. Generous Cargo Space

You’ll find more room for groceries and gear than in most other electric SUVs. The iX provides 35.5 cubic feet in the rear of the vehicle, which expands to nearly 78 cubic feet when you fold the second row flat.

4. Many Standard Safety Features

The latest driver assistance tech comes in every iX trim. This crossover includes standard lane-keeping assist, front and rear parking sensors, rear cross-traffic alert, blind-spot monitoring, traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, vehicle exit warning, pedestrian and cyclist detection, and much more.

Highway driving assist is also newly available for the 2024 model year. This system supports hands-free driving on compatible roads. Automatic parking assist, another option in this category, allows you to park your iX remotely. You can also incorporate available evasive steering assist, traffic jam assist, a surround-view camera, and high-output LED headlights.

5. Desirable Amenities and Tech

The iX is equipped with premium amenities like a standard panoramic sunroof, synthetic leather upholstery, and heated, power-adjustable front seats. The dashboard showcases a 14.9″ touchscreen infotainment system. The base model also includes a 12-speaker stereo with HD and satellite radio, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 12.3-inch digital driver information cluster, six USB ports throughout the cabin, and built-in navigation.

Upgrade the cabin with options like the 30-speaker Bowers & Wilkens sound system, a head-up display, and enhanced navigation with an augmented reality feature. A Wi-Fi hotspot is also available. You’ll love spending time in the refined, relaxing cabin of this next-generation crossover.
