BMW’s iX model capitalizes on the luxury EV market while solving the key comfort problem.

The iX model’s $100K+ base price tag is exactly what consumers have become accustomed to and what the luxury SUV market demands. But with those demands, consumers demands may surpass manufacturers’ qualities, leaving consumers searching for the perfect fit.

The iX is the epitome of comfort and luxury, as consumers add low-zero road noise, excellent seat cushioning and plenty of legroom for travel to their list of needs in a vehicle. In the EV world, most consumers are using these for day-trips or around town use, meaning interior cabin noise should be minimal or even none at all.

Powering our 2026 iX tester was the xDrive dual all-electric high performance motors, producing 650 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque. The iX offered three different motor options, but our top-tier tester was nothing short of EV excellence.

EV styling is unique and focused toward futuristic aesthetics beyond the normal curvatures. Riding on 23-inch Aero Bicolor Individual wheels, our tester also included the executive package, which featured soft-close doors and glass controls. Additionally, we noticed a Driving Assistance Professional package as well, which was an additional $2,550 and presented an array of safety features, including partial automated driving.

With the first three years maintenance included in the pricing, the BMW brand and the iX model does everything it can to ensure consumer satisfaction.

Offering a range of 283 miles on a full charge, the iX is within typical range for the category and for daily users.

The iX defines luxury with a splash of M-performance – making it the cream of the crop. Delivering nicely for consumers, the iX provides a great experience in ride quality, exterior aesthetics, interior comfort and overall power.
