The all-electric iX is something to behold, and the M60 performance version turns up the excitement by a few notches. This midsize performance EV SUV is incredibly fast and somehow remains comfortable and versatile. Some controls can be frustrating to use, but overall it's a brilliant EV SUV.

Overview

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.

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

9/10

How does the iX M60 drive? At our test track, the iX M60 accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds. That's just as quick as the last BMW X5 M we tested, and it's even more impressive considering the M60 weighs nearly 6,000 pounds. All that mass is going to need some good brakes and tires, and the M60 has them. Our test M60 came to a stop from 60 mph in a respectably short 115 feet.

The M60's M-tuned suspension takes things up a notch from the xDrive50. It feels a bit sharper and more willing to skirt around corners. Straight-line speed, thanks to the additional power, is certainly the M60's biggest differentiator. Otherwise, the M60 is just as easy to drive every day as the standard xDrive50. There's plenty of smooth regenerative braking for those who like the one-pedal driving experience.

Comfort

9/10

How comfortable is the iX M60? The iX has some of the coolest-looking upholstered seats on the market today, and thankfully they're also very comfortable to sit in. The front seats offer a generous range of adjustments and have effective seat heaters and ventilation. There's even an optional front seat massage function that can be activated via BMW's voice controls.

You might assume that the M60 sacrifices ride comfort for performance, similar to how the X5 M and X6 M have in the past. While there's a hint of sporty firmness, the air suspension handled bumps and undulations with surprising compliance despite our test car's larger 22-inch wheels. Did we mention the M60 is also quiet? If you want, you can bathe in a cabin of synthesized acceleration noise (which you can turn off), but otherwise, wind and road noise is minimal.

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 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.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Range and Efficiency

8/10

How economical is the iX M60? The iX M60 has an EPA-estimated range of 274 miles when equipped with the optional 22-inch wheels like our test car had (or 288 miles with the standard 21-inch wheels). Impressively, we easily exceeded the EPA's estimate on our standardized real-world EV range test route, making it 325 miles on a single charge. The iX xDrive50 we tested on the same route went 377 miles.

Efficiency, or how much electricity the iX uses when driving, is also pretty good. We measured 37.4 kWh used for every 100 miles of driving. That's identical efficiency to the Ford Mustang Mach-E GT Performance we tested (yet the M60 weighs nearly 1,000 pounds more and is quicker than the Ford) and more efficient than any Audi e-tron we tested.

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 M60 a good value? Considering all you get in the iX M60, BMW's asking price seems reasonable. Tesla's Model X and Mercedes-Benz's EQS SUV cost thousands more when comparably equipped. Build quality is very 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.

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

8.5/10

Few of us like the iX's exterior styling, but that's just our subjective take. Otherwise, this is a modern EV that's versatile and enjoyable to drive. Did we mention it has a hexagonal steering wheel? Endless conversation starters here.

Which iX 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.

17,000 Miles in the BMW iX | What It's Like to Live with BMW's Luxury Electric SUV

NOTE: This video is about the 2022 BMW iX, but since the 2024 BMW iX is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.

We drove our long-term 2023 BMW iX xDrive50 more than 15,000 miles over the last year, and honestly, this thing is pretty great – assuming you can get past the bucktoothed face. But now it's time to say goodbye to our iX; in this video, we'll detail our experience with the iX, from the good to the bad and what it was like to live with on a daily basis.

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.
