Launched globally in March 2025, the facelifted BMW iX returned stronger than ever, debuting at BMW’s Dingolfing plant before touching down in markets worldwide—including India later in the year . Riding on its pioneering 2021 e-SAV legacy, this mid-size electric SUV ushers in the xDrive45, xDrive60, and the high-performance M70 variants. Each blends dual-motor AWD thrills with state-of-the-art battery tech—94.8 kWh in the xDrive45 (up from 76.6), 109.1 kWh in the xDrive60, and 108.9 kWh in the race-bred M70—yielding 402 hp/700 Nm, 536 hp/765 Nm, and a monstrous 659 hp/1,100 Nm respectively .
Range numbers soar: up to 602 km WLTP for the xDrive45, a stunning 701 km in the xDrive60, and about 600 km even in the performance-heavy M70 . Charging is rapid too—supporting up to 195 kW DC fast-charge (xDrive60/M70), topping 80% in roughly 35 minutes .
Refined design changes edge the iX even further forward: sleeker LED headlights with vertical DRLs, an illuminated grille, aerodynamic alloys (21”–23” in M Sport trims), and reshaped bumpers create a more assertive profile . Inside, its iconic curved **14.9″ touchscreen and 12.3″ digital cluster under anti‑reflective glass—running iDrive 8.5—remains the center of a tech-rich cabin, enhanced by a new three-spoke M steering wheel, ventilated M Sport seats, Harman Kardon (or optional Bowers & Wilkins) audio, panoramic solar roof, and four-zone climate control .
Tech and safety are equally advanced: Level‑2 ADAS includes hands‑free highway assist, active lane-change triggered by eye movement, 360° cameras, soft‑close doors, and a full suite of airbags and parking aids .
Dimensionally, the iX is akin to the X5/X6 yet offers X7–like interior space with a flat floor, providing generous legroom and about 1,095 L cargo room with rear seats folded . Euro NCAP has awarded it a 5-star rating, reinforcing its premium appeal .
Expected in India by late 2025, the iX facelift continues its reign as BMW’s flagship electric flagship—bringing longer range, sharper performance, and supreme luxury wrapped in a stunning, tech-rich package
