2024 BMW iX

The impressive iX electric SUV is scaled like the midsized X5. It is super-quick and quiet, delivers a plush ride and agile handling, and has a uniquely stylish cabin. It employs two motors to give it all-wheel-drive capability. Our tested 70-mph highway driving range is a commendable 370 miles. The airy interior is luxurious and uncluttered, but the controls are complicated because too many functions require interfacing with the infotainment screen. Maximum acceptance rate of 195 kilowatts in public DC fast charging locations is competitive. Home charging from empty on 240 volts takes 11 hours, which is not surprising, given the large 111-kilowatt-hour battery. The optional driving assistance suite includes adaptive cruise control and lane centering assistance. Available in three configurations, the iX gets several updates and more standard features for the 2026 model.
