This addition to the iX lineup not only expands BMW’s electric offerings but also represents a significant leap in EV technology and luxury.
Unveiling a New Era of Electric Driving
The iX xDrive50 is not just another EV; it’s a statement of BMW’s commitment to combining sustainable mobility with uncompromised luxury and performance. Powered by a substantial 111.5 kWh battery pack, this SUV is not only about stylish looks but also about remarkable efficiency and power.
Power Meets Sustainability
With its two electric motors, the BMW iX xDrive50 delivers an impressive 516 BHP and 765 Nm of torque.
