Introducing the 2026 BMW iX. Elevating Electric Luxury to New Heights

The 2026 BMW iX.

At BMW Peabody, we are excited to introduce the highly anticipated 2026 BMW iX, a bold evolution in the brand’s luxury electric Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) lineup. With innovative design enhancements, increased power, and progressive technology, this all-electric SUV redefines what it means to drive in luxury. Arriving in 2025, the redesigned 2026 BMW iX pushes the boundaries of performance, efficiency, and comfort, making it an enticing option for drivers looking to make the switch to electric without compromising on excitement or sophistication.

A New Benchmark for Performance.

The 2026 BMW iX offers three powertrain options, each delivering exhilarating performance.

iX xDrive45. The New Entry-Level Model.

Replacing the previous xDrive40, the all-new iX xDrive45 generates 402 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque- a substantial increase from its predecessor’s 326 horsepower and 464 lb-ft. This increase in power translates to a more engaging driving experience with quicker acceleration and enhanced responsiveness. The estimated driving range is also extended, ensuring greater versatility for daily commutes and long-distance road trips.

iX xDrive60. The Performance-Oriented Choice.

The mid-tier iX xDrive60 offers an impressive 536 horsepower- a bump from the outgoing xDrive50’s 516 horsepower. This model provides a thrilling balance between efficiency and performance, making it ideal for drivers who crave dynamic handling while benefiting from BMW’s advanced electric technology.

iX M70 xDrive. The High-Performance Flagship.

For those seeking the pinnacle of electric SUV performance, the iX M70 xDrive delivers a staggering 659 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque. It rockets from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, providing a level of acceleration that rivals some of BMW’s high-performance M models. The M70 xDrive isn’t just about raw speed—it’s also engineered with precision for sharp handling and refined driving dynamics.

2026 BMW iX Battery and Charging Updates.

A major highlight of the 2026 iX is its improved battery efficiency. The iX xDrive60 now achieves a WLTP range of up to 435 miles, a significant increase over the previous generation. BMW has also upgraded its battery management system to enable faster charging, meaning drivers can spend less time at charging stations and more time on the road. With DC fast charging capabilities, the iX can gain over 100 miles of range in just 10 minutes, making long road trips even more convenient.

Redesigned Exterior. A More Refined and Aerodynamic Look.

The 2026 BMW iX embraces a refreshed design language that enhances its aerodynamics while maintaining its futuristic and commanding presence on the road. Key design changes include:

• A bolder, more sculpted front fascia featuring a revised kidney grille with a striking new frame and vertical/diagonal pattern lines.
• Sharper LED headlights with vertical daytime running lights and integrated turn signals for a more distinctive appearance.
• A sleeker rear end, now incorporating a new diffuser element that optimizes aerodynamics while adding a sporty touch.
• The available M Sport Package, which gives the iX an even more aggressive stance with large air intakes, unique alloy wheel designs, and body-colored front and rear aprons.

These enhancements not only improve the iX’s visual appeal but also contribute to better energy efficiency by reducing drag.

A Tech-Forward and Luxurious Interior.

Stepping inside the 2026 iX reveals a high-tech and luxurious cabin designed to offer a first-class experience. Some of the standout interior features include:

BMW Panoramic iDrive. A Digital Revolution.

The new BMW Panoramic iDrive system takes the digital cockpit experience to the next level. This system seamlessly integrates the latest BMW Operating System 9, featuring an ultra-wide curved display that spans nearly the entire width of the dashboard. The interface is designed for intuitive control, utilizing a combination of touchscreen inputs, voice commands, and BMW’s signature iDrive rotary controller.

Enhanced Comfort and Material Choices.

BMW continues to push the boundaries of interior luxury with new sustainable materials, premium leather options, and customizable ambient lighting. The seats are now redesigned for improved ergonomics and long-distance comfort, with optional M Multifunction Seats that offer extra lateral support for a sportier feel.

Augmented Reality and Advanced Driving Assistance.

The 2026 iX incorporates Augmented Reality Navigation, allowing real-time road guidance to be overlaid onto the digital display. Additionally, BMW’s Driving Assistant Professional 2.0 includes an upgraded hands-free highway driving mode, lane-changing assist, and predictive cruise control, making every journey safer and more effortless.

2026 BMW iX vs. the 2025 BMW iX.

While the 2025 BMW iX was already an impressive vehicle, the 2026 version introduces several major improvements that make it a must-have upgrade:

• Power Upgrades. The entry-level model (xDrive45) is significantly more powerful than its predecessor, while the xDrive60 and M70 xDrive offer even sharper performance.
• Improved Battery Efficiency. The new model extends its driving range, thanks to refinements in battery management and aerodynamics.
• Design Refresh. The updated front grille, headlight design, and rear diffuser make the 2026 iX more visually striking.
• Technology Advancements. The addition of BMW Panoramic iDrive and Augmented Reality Navigation elevate the driving experience.
• Faster Charging Capabilities. The 2026 iX improves DC fast charging, reducing downtime at public charging stations.
