2022 BMW iX Trims Comparison

2022 iX trim level differences

The iX is BMW's first fully electric SUV. For its introductory 2022 model year, the iX is available in a single trim level called the iX xDrive50. It has all-wheel drive courtesy of two electric motors — one at each axle — that produce a total of 516 horsepower and 564 lb-ft of torque.

The iX can draw up to 195 kilowatts using a DC fast-charging system capable of delivering that much electricity. BMW says it should take 35 minutes to charge the 106.3-kWh battery pack from 10% to 80%. That's not as quick as some other EVs like the Porsche Taycan or Lucid Air, but it's better than most electric vehicles on the market. Using a Level 2 charger at home will take about 11 hours to fully charge the iX from empty.

Which 2022 iX trim does Edmunds recommend?

The iX lineup is relatively simple this year, as there's only the xDrive50 trim level. (The 610-horsepower iX M60 debuts in 2023.) However, there are some standouts on the options list that we consider must-haves. The Premium package is expensive in a nutshell, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the standard cost of the iX. Make sure to also spec the Driving Assistance Professional package, which includes the advanced driving aids expected of a vehicle in this price range.
