Overview

Written by automotive expert Mark Takahashi

5/8/2026

The 2024 BMW iX is among the top-rated all-electric luxury SUVs, and for good reason. It's about the same size as the automaker's midsize X5 and stands out with its roomy seating and impressive power and range. Even the entry-level xDrive50 has two electric motors, all-wheel drive, 516 horsepower, and more than 300 miles of range. Alternatively, you can pick the M60 version that dials up 610 hp and can rocket from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5 seconds.

Such performance can seem a little superfluous for a vehicle that is ultimately meant to be a family-friendly hauler, but such is the new world of EV performance. Besides the Tesla Model X, there is a new Mercedes-Benz EQE that is a direct rival to the iX. Audi is also making significant changes to its e-tron, which is now called the Q8 e-tron. Check out our Expert Rating below to see our test team's scoring of the 2024 iX's real-world range, comfort and more.

What's it like to live with?

When the BMW iX debuted in 2022, it quickly became one of our favorite all-electric SUVs. It made perfect sense to add one to the Edmunds long-term test fleet to see how it fares over the course of a full year and 20,000 miles. Check out our latest impressions from our real-world BMW iX test. Our test vehicle is a 2022, but nearly all of our impressions still apply to the 2024 model.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Jonathan Elfalan

Great

8.4

out of 10

We drove the 2024 BMW iX on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8.5/10

How does the iX drive? Electric SUVs are redefining how large vehicles are supposed to handle, and the iX is a prime example. The weight of batteries mounted low under the floor really helps provide a hunkered-down feeling. The iX isn't really exciting to drive, but it corners with ease, and the light-effort steering creates the illusion of the iX being lighter than it actually is.

Our test vehicle came with the optional 22-inch wheels and tires. They provide decent levels of cornering grip and, in our emergency braking test, helped slow the iX down from 60 mph to a dead stop in an impressive 114 feet. In typical driving, the iX can provide plenty of regenerative braking, and that makes it easy to drive around using just the accelerator pedal and letting the regen handle the braking.

Brakes are important because the iX can boogie. Accelerating to 60 mph took only 4.2 seconds in our testing. That's quicker than most EVs (including the Jaguar I-Pace and Audi e-tron) and not too far off from BMW's gas-powered X5 M.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the iX? The iX has some of the coolest-looking upholstered seats on the market today, and thankfully they're also comfortable to sit in. The front seats offer a generous range of adjustments and have effective seat heaters. The iX rides quite nicely on the road too. There's still a hint of sporty firmness rather than total cloud-like softness, but we suspect our test car's larger 22-inch wheels may have played a part here. It's also a quiet SUV, and wind and road noise is minimal on the highway.

Much of the iX's interior controls are touchscreen-based, and that includes those for the climate system. At least the primary temp settings are easy to access and make adjustments to. Rear passengers get two climate zones as well, plus a range of vents for excellent coverage. Overall, the system does an excellent job of maintaining a comfortable cabin.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? This interior — wow! Not only is the iX interior gorgeous to look at, it's highly functional too. It's easy to get in and out thanks to large door openings and low stepovers. Passenger space is generous once you're inside, with a flat floor throughout the cabin, ample headroom and legroom in both rows, and great shoulder room. Visibility is excellent, especially out of the front windows, and the available cameras can handle anything you can't easily see naturally.

There are a few downsides. Most of the iX's controls are touchscreen-based, and wading through layers of menus can be time-consuming and distracting. We also discovered that the white-lettering touch controls on our test vehicle's optional walnut center panel washed out in sunlight, which made it hard to see where the actual buttons are.

Technology

9/10

How’s the tech? The iX showcases some of the latest BMW innovations, and they're pretty impressive. BMW's suite of advanced driver aids can be hit-or-miss in how they perform, but they're a hit here. BMW's optional Highway Assist Plus even allows for some hands-free operation at low speeds when conditions permit. The infotainment system takes a while to learn, but overall we're impressed with the operation of the iX's tech. BMW's voice-activated virtual assistant is also a cut above most voice control systems in how it responds and its ability to change things like the climate control settings.

BMW pushes the envelope even more with its Android smartphone integration. Android users can quick-pair their phones to the car, and navigation directions show up as turn-by-turn directions in the driver's gauge cluster. Our test car also had the optional Bowers & Wilkins audio system. We found it pretty impressive, and it had a few party tricks up its sleeve like "4D bass," which essentially vibrates your seat in concert with the music for a more immersive experience (though it can be disabled). Why just listen to podcasts when you can feel them?

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? There's 35.5 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats, which is much more than what the Audi e-tron offers but not quite as much as the Tesla Model X. The rear seats can split and fold flat in three sections and have convenient release buttons at the rear hatch. But there is no front trunk like on the Model X. Interior storage for small items is also a bit lacking. The door pockets and center armrest bin will be your best options.

The iX accommodates child safety seats with ease thanks to copious rear seat space and easy-to-access anchor points. But you might be disappointed in the iX if you want to tow; BMW does not rate the iX for towing.

Range and Efficiency

9/10

How are the range and efficiency? The iX xDrive50 has an EPA-estimated range of 315 miles when equipped with the optional 22-inch wheels like our test car had or 324 miles with the standard 20-inch wheels. Impressively, we easily exceeded the EPA's estimate on our standardized real-world EV range test route. Here, the iX drove 377 miles on a single charge, which is one of the longest distances we've gotten so far from an EV.

Efficiency, or how much electricity the iX uses when driving, is also impressive. We measured 32 kWh used for every 100 miles of driving. That's one of the best results we've seen in the class and similar to what we've observed from less powerful EVs such as Ford's Mustang Mach-E.

The iX comes with an 11-kW onboard charger. BMW estimates it can charge from zero to full in a little over 10 hours on a Level 2 home charger (assuming you've got the right hardware and under optimal conditions). It also has DC fast-charging capability up to 195 kW, which can recharge the battery from 10% to 80% capacity in about 40 minutes.

Value

8/10

Is the iX a good value? The iX is not what we'd consider affordable when taking a quick glance at its price tag. But if you start lining it up against its segment competition, the iX begins to look like more of a bargain. Build quality feels incredibly solid. Everything in the interior looks great, carries a bit of heft and is tightly screwed together. This is easily one of the better modern luxury interiors we've seen to date.

BMW's warranty is comparable with coverage of most luxury brands. Basic coverage lasts for four years/50,000 miles, with generous rust-through coverage of 12 years/unlimited miles and a battery warranty of eight years/100,000 miles. BMW provides complimentary maintenance for three years/36,000 miles, which is a plus, and two years of free fast charging (30-minute sessions at a time) on Electrify America's charging network.

Wildcard

8/10

If we're being honest, we're not thrilled with the front-end design of the iX. It does look unique, but it may be a bit too bold for most palettes. The styling alone may be a nonstarter for some people.

If you're able to get past the exterior, the interior is where it's at. Clean, modern and functional, it's a place we'd love to spend time. Behind the wheel the iX can be fun to drive, but more so we find it easy to drive. Speed is readily available, and the lightness of controls and responsiveness to inputs just make the iX easy to maneuver and place. Did we mention it has a hexagonal steering wheel? Endless conversation starters here.

Buying Tips for the 2024 BMW iX for May

Here are some buying and negotiating tips for the 2024 BMW iX to help you get the best deal:

The iX is a strong value opportunity with buyers paying about 12% less than MSRP. For the xDrive50, this translates to savings of around $10,480, and $13,212 for the M60 trim.
Used model prices start at approximately $46,559, making it a budget-conscious choice for those considering a pre-owned iX.

2024 BMW iX trim level differences

The 2024 BMW iX is available in two trim levels: xDrive50 and M60. Both versions have all-wheel drive with two electric motors fed by a 106.3-kWh battery pack. The xDrive50 produces 516 horsepower and 564 lb-ft of torque, while the M60 increases output to 610 hp and 749 lb-ft of torque. The EPA estimates that the xDrive50 can go up to 324 miles on a single charge, and the M60 up to 288 miles. In Edmunds' real-world range testing, we managed to beat those estimates by 50 to 60 miles. Compare the 2024 BMW iX trim levels in-depth.

Which iX trim does Edmunds recommend?

The xDrive50 gets our recommendation in the BMW iX lineup. It has way more power than most drivers will ever need and costs $24,000 less than the higher-performance M60 version. We also suggest adding the Driving Assistance Professional package for the adaptive cruise control, surround-view camera system and other safety features.

First EV, now I’m spoiled. iX xDrive 50

Dennis S, 01/10/2023

2023 BMW iX xDrive50 4dr SUV AWD (electric DD)

Being my first EV, I’m blown away by its efficiency, comfort, quietness, acceleration, and style. The polarizing exterior style grows on me, and interior just impressed me from my first test drive. When you are inside and enjoying this vehicles interior, it could look like a rolling 💩, and I don’t care, LOL. I’m seeing better than EPA mileage as most have, and charging has been a … breeze. Nice plus is BMW’s 2 years of free public charging at Electrify America. Basically, free fuel if the EA works for you. Home charging is a breeze too. There is a plethora of tech, which I like simple better, but it can be a set up and forget it too. If you have a iPad, you’re right at home. The climate controls are amazing, and winter comfort is better than any car I’ve driven in 44 years. Love the heated steering wheel, door panels and console that surround you in addition to immediate climate comfort. Enjoy the “Climatization” on phone app that preconditions (pre-heat or cool) with a simple touch before departing. There have been a few minor glitches with apps, but no big deal. Afterall, it is a rolling computer. Update after 14 months of use. This iX50 has done great in the winter snow. The preheating or cooling of the car before entering from a phone app is fantastic. Heats or cools in 5 minutes. Economy is great, getting a surprising 360 miles in summer.with a 100% charge, which I do only when traveling. Winter temps cut that by about 20%, depending on temps. Trouble free, best car I’ve ever owned. Update 6/24: This has been the best car I’ve owned, and that’s in the dozens of new cars. I’m doing a bit more traveling in SE USA mountains and charging is an issue. I traded for a 2025 BMW X5 50e PHEV. It gives me great round town zero gas for 45+ miles, and great fuel economy of 35-45 mpg on road so far. Very similar to iX. Update 1/25: The iX was the best car I’d owned. However, being a full EV, I found charging in the wild to sometimes be a hit and miss. By this I was finding that only using fast chargers in the wild, I’d encounter non functioning chargers or waits for a charger sometimes. It was frustrating to pull up to a bank of 6 chargers in use and 4 of them being finished, yet no one there to open it up. So you’re stuck waiting. Home charging was a breeze and provided 300+ miles of range but I’d still get range anxiety after 200-250 miles not knowing if a good charger would be available, even using charge station location apps. So I took the EV value hit and ordered a 2025 BMW X5 50e PHEV. The PHEV better fits my lifestyle, as I drive it 80-90% of the time in all electric, and then have the wonderful in line 6 twin turbo to carry on when traveling. Bottom line, iX is wonderful if charging away from home works for you. In SE USA, charging is not ready for EV life.

We have a limited number of reviews for the 2024 BMW iX, so we've included review for other years of the iX since its last redesign.

BMW iX vs. Tesla Model X

The Tesla Model X competes with the iX with its impressive range and power, which is up to 1,020 hp with the Plaid version. It also deserves credit for being a pioneering luxury SUV and offering a third-row seat, which is something you can't get in the iX. But it's more expensive than the iX and its interior isn't as practical or classy as the BMW's.

BMW iX vs. Audi Q8 e-tron

The Audi Q8 e-tron is the new name for the original e-tron SUV that debuted in 2019. Along with the new name, the 2024 model gets a long list of changes and upgrades. Initial European range estimates of 305 miles bode well for the Q8 e-tron, though EPA estimates may be slightly lower, but both BMW and Audi have a tendency to beat those. It's worth a look when shopping the iX.

Compare BMW iX & Audi Q8 e-tron features

BMW iX vs. Mercedes-Benz EQE SUV

The EQE SUV is a solid rival to the iX with the kind of luxury, comfort and refinement that defines Mercedes-Benz. Estimated range is up to 279 miles of range, but that should be enough for most drivers and past Mercedes EVs have easily beat their estimates. The EQE, though, comes up short in terms of cargo capacity against the iX.
