Who’s It For?

This all-electric, mid-sized SUV is built with modern drivers and families in mind. Its healthy driving range makes the 2026 iX as well-suited for grocery runs as it is for summer road trips, and even the base xDrive45 trim offers as much as 312 miles of range.

BMW hasn’t shied away from its old “ultimate driving machine” mantra, either, with horsepower starting at 402 and ballooning to an incredible 650 horsepower on the M model. This makes the 2026 iX perfect for anyone who needs interior space but doesn’t want to sacrifice fun and the joyful sensation of speed.

What’s New for 2026?

The 2026 BMW iX is an evolution in form, with a redesigned exterior that sees a reimagined kidney grille and new vertical daytime running lights. The available illuminated kidney grille optimizes luminosity and is particularly eye-catching, making it more iconic than ever.

Sporty style rules the day for the 2026 model, with M-inspired details adding some extra pop, thanks to the available M Sport Package and M Sport Professional Package. Also, the new iX xDrive45 SUV now includes the Sport Package as standard, offering a more aggressive look and enhanced paint options.

Perhaps best of all, the 2026 BMW iX is the most powerful ever, with increased horsepower for an incredibly precise and rewarding driving experience. You’ll enjoy a 0 to 60 time of as little as 3.6 seconds, making this automobile not only a smart, capable electric choice but also a bare-knuckle thrill to drive on your highways and byways.

Real World Performance

The 2026 iX carries on BMW’s tradition of high performance. The iX xDrive45 serves up 402 horsepower and offers a 0 to 60 mph time of 4.9 seconds. The iX xDrive60 juices performance even higher, with 536 horsepower and a 0 to 60 mph time of only 4.4 seconds. Naturally, the driving range hasn’t been sacrificed for all this power. You’ll enjoy an estimated 290-312 miles of range for the iX xDrive45 and 318-364 miles of range for the iX xDrive60.

Want to step up to M power? The new iX M70 SUV packs in a whopping 650 horsepower, good for a 0 to 60 MPH time of only 3.6 seconds. This makes the M variant a serious contender for “king of the road” every time you take it out of your garage. It also offers an electric range from 283 to 303 miles.
