BMW iX News - Stay updated with the latest news on BMW iX.

<p>The electric vehicle (EV) line-up from BMW, which is still modest but expanding, has had some success in India. In fact, the German carmaker dominates the country's luxury EV market. In contrast to popular belief, the company's EV growth story is not being driven by the reasonably priced i4 vehicle but by the iX electric SUV, which has become the luxury automaker's best-selling battery-powered vehicle in India. One of three BMW-badged EVs presently available for purchase in India arrived at the end of 2021. There are four battery-powered vehicles offered in India by BMW Group, including the Mini Cooper SE. Although the firm chose to refrain from revealing precise sales data for its EV line-up, it has acknowledged that domestic EV sales in only the first half of this year are already 46% more than what they were in the entire 2022.</p>

<p><span style="font-weight:normal"><strong>Also Read:</strong></span><strong><span style="font-weight:normal">&nbsp;</span></strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/bmw-x5-facelift-launched-in-india-design-features-prices-and-more-explained-113936/">BMW X5 Facelift Launched in India; Design, Features, Prices and More Explained</a></p>

<p>Meanwhile, BMW India recently declared that its sales for the BMW, Mini, and BMW Motorrad brands in the first half of the year, the first quarter, and June were the highest ever. Going into the details, 4,667 bikes were sold by BMW Motorrad in H1 – a total of 5,867 BMW and Mini units. In India, the company primarily sells the i7, iX, i4, and Mini SE, which together account for 50% of sales in the premium EV market. The BMW iX is both the best-selling luxury EV in India and the electric car with the most sales worldwide. BMW claims that in H1 2023, the brand delivered 11 times as many EVs as it did in H1 2022. A substantial EV charging network, including over 35 BMW Group dealers in India, supports the development of EV sales. So, without any further ado, let's know more about the iX model.</p>

<h2>BMW iX: Battery and Power</h2>

<p>The new BMW iX electric SUV is only available in the BMW iX xDrive40 level and comes in colours like Mineral White, Phytonic Blue, Black Sapphire, and Sophisto Grey. The e-SUV is propelled by the fifth-generation BMW eDrive system, which includes two electric motors, an electric all-wheel-drive system, and a single-speed gearbox. The unit can generate 326bhp of maximum power and accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 6.1 seconds. The three driving modes – Personal, Sport, or Efficient – can be selected depending on the requirements of the driver. The BMW IconicSounds Electric produces driving sound and other pedestrian alerts.</p>

<h2>BMW iX: Range and Charging Time</h2>

<p>The iX features two high-voltage lithium-ion batteries with a combined capacity of 76.6kWh, which can allow the car to travel for 425 kilometres before needing to be charged. The batteries can be charged up to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes by a 150kW DC charger and&nbsp;in 73 minutes by a 50kW DC charger. An 11kW AC charger can charge it to 100 per cent in 7 hours, while&nbsp;a standard 50kW charger can charge the battery to a 95-kilometre range in 10 minutes and a 100-kilometre range in 21 minutes. Further, the model boasts a top speed of 200km/h.</p>

<h2>BMW iX: Features and Market Competitors</h2>

<p>A hexagonal steering wheel, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a sizable 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment display, and a heads-up display are some of the new features added to the BMW iX. The car has also received a superb 5-Star safety rating from Euro NCAP. In the Indian market, the BMW iX competes with the likes of the Jaguar I-Pace, Audi e-tron SUV, and Mercedes-Benz EQC.</p>


BMW iX Becomes the Brand's Best-selling Luxury EV in India

The electric vehicle (EV) lineup from BMW, which is still modest but expanding, has had some success in India. The BMW iX is both the best-selling luxury EV in India and the electric car with the most brand sales worldwide.

<p><strong>BMW has managed to double its electric car sales in the year 2021. “Want to continue profitable growth in 2022 and more than double sales of fully-electric vehicles again,” said Pieter Nota, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Customer, Brands, Sales.</strong></p>

<p>BMW Group has posted its all-time high sales figures. The German marque sold 25,21,525 units in the last year which is higher by 8.4 per cent Y-o-Y. The total sales number included the cumulative sales figures of BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce.</p>

<p><img alt="BMW I4 Gran Coupe" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/03/BMW-i4-Gran-Coupe-1.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The sales of BMW also saw a hike of 9.1 per cent in 2021 as the firm managed to sell 22,13,795 units globally. BMW also claims to lead the premium segment. The company has almost doubled its EV sales numbers in 2021 to 1,03,855 units which is a hike of almost 133.2 per cent. BMW also plans on doubling its electric car sales for this year. That being said, last month, BMW India launched the iX all-electric SUV in India, and <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/bmw-ix-launched-at-rs-116-crore-110444/">you can read about it by clicking here</a>. BMW India will soon <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/bmw-i4-gran-coupe-confirmed-for-india-110452/">introduce the i4 all-electric Gran Coupe as well</a>.</p>

<p><img alt="2022 Mini Cooper SE Rear Three Quarter Static" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/10/2022-Mini-Cooper-SE-rear-three-quarter-static.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>BMW also confirms that Mini Electric is the Mini&nbsp;family’s highest-volume model, <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/all-electric-mini-cooper-se-to-be-launched-soon-110214/">which will soon be launched in India</a>, mostly by the end of Q1 2022.</p>

<p>Mini and Rolls-Royce are all set to be all-electric brands by 2030, So expect the brand to aggressively launch more electrified products in India in the coming years. There are fun times ahead as <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/mercedes-benz-will-launch-10-new-cars-in-2022-including-the-eqs-110573/">Mercedes-Benz India has also announced that the EQS will be assembled in India</a>. So expect a strong rivalry between the Mercedes-Benz EQS and the upcoming all-electric BMW 7-series which will break cover next year.</p>

BMW records all-time high sales figures in 2021

BMW has managed to double its electric car sales in the year 2021. “Want to continue profitable growth in 2022 and more than double sales of fully-electric vehicles again,” said Pieter Nota, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG, Customer, Brands, Sales.

<p><em><strong>While it uses the same two-motor layout as the lower variants, the iX M60 is capable of churning out over 1000Nm of torque!</strong></em></p>

<p>The BMW iX now has an M equivalent and it’s called the iX M60. The SUV has been revealed at CES 2022 and features regular M updates to differentiate it from the xDrive40 and xDrive50 variants of the SUV.</p>

<p>Powering it are two electric motors, one on each axle, just like the lower variants. Power has been bumped up to 532bhp (a minor increase over the xDrive50). You do, however,&nbsp;get a brief boost (for less than 10 seconds) which sees that number climb as high as 610bhp. The torque figure has been increased significantly and you now get 1,015Nm from the two motors.</p>

<p>That figure can even climb to 1,100Nm when Launch Control is engaged. All of this means that the iX M60 can do the 0-100km/h run in just 3.8 seconds! It is, however, limited to a top speed of 250km/h. As far as range is concerned, the iX M60 is capable of doing 566 kilometres (figure based on the WLTP test cycle) on a single charge. The battery pack is the same 105kWh unit found on the xDrive50 variant.</p>

<p><img alt="BMW IX M60 Dashboard" height="720" src="/uploads/2022/01/BMW-iX-M60-dashboard.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The suspension too has been reworked. There is air suspension that has been given the M treatment. It features an automatic level control, which keeps the SUV balanced for optimum traction at all times. To keep weight down, the M60 makes use of CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced plastic). The iX is also capable of cutting through the air quite efficiently in Sport Mode, with a drag coefficient of just 0.26.</p>

<p>On the tech front, BMW has made a whole lot of features standard fitment on the M60. It gets a new array of sensors, software and enhanced computing power to power its automated driving and parking functions. The latest generation iDrive system can be found on board as well. There is 5G connectivity in the car which facilitates OTA (over-the-air) updates, so any software changes to the vehicle can be implemented without visiting a service centre.</p>

<p><img alt="BMW IX M60 Rear" src="/uploads/2022/01/BMW-iX-M60-rear.jpg" style="width: 1280px; height: 720px;" /></p>

<p>As is the case with all M cars, you get a lot of M highlights all over the SUV such as the side panels, rear panels and brake callipers. As far as wheels are concerned, BMW is offering 22-inch aerodynamic wheels that feature&nbsp;a ‘Titanium Bronze’ design.</p>

<p>The iX M60 will go on sale globally in June 2022, but we don’t see it coming to India before 2023.</p>

<p>Just yesterday <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/bmw/">BMW</a> India kicked off its EV spree with the launch of the iX all-electric SUV. <a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/bmw-ix-launched-at-rs-116-crore-110444/">The BMW iX has been priced at Rs 1.16 crore (ex-showroom)</a> and the SUV will be sold via the CBU (Completely Built Unit) route.</p>

<p>Now, the brand has confirmed that all the allocated units of the BMW iX have been sold out and the bookings for the next batch will begin in Q1 of 2022, most likely by January.</p>

BMW iX sold out for 2021

The first batch of the BMW iX all-electric SUV sold out within a day! BMW India has confirmed that the bookings for the second batch will commence early next year. Read more about the BMW iX here.

<p><strong>It’s no surprise that BMW has joined the all-electric SUV bandwagon. The BMW iX has made its India debut, but the firm has more in store for us, for&nbsp;an all-electric sedan and a mini electric hatchback are coming our way too.</strong></p>

<p>The BMW iX all-electric SUV has made its India debut. The new German electric SUV is priced at Rs 1.16 crore (ex-showroom). The <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/bmw/ix/">BMW iX</a> steps in the segment already occupied by the Mercedes-Benz EQC, <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/audi/e-tron/">Audi e-Tron</a> – the SUV and the Sportback – and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/jaguar/i-pace/">Jaguar I-Pace</a>. But if you’re in the market for a premium EV, the options can be extended up to the Audi e-tron GT and the newly launched Porsche Taycan.</p>

<p><img alt="BMW IX Xdrive 40 Rear Three Quarter Static 1" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/12/BMW-iX-Xdrive-40-rear-three-quarter-static-1.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>Speaking of the BMW iX, the SUV has made its debut&nbsp;in one variant called the xDrive 40. The ‘xDrive’ refers to the all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, and the number ‘40’ specifies the variant level. The BMW iX produces 321.5bhp and 630Nm, which helps it shoot to 100km/hr from a standstill in 6.1 seconds.</p>

<p>The dual motors setup sources power from a 76.6kWh battery pack, and the claimed range is 425km. An 11kW AC wall mount charger can fully charge the battery in seven hours, whereas a 2.3kW single-phase charger will take up to 36 hours to do the same.</p>

<p><img alt="BMW IX Xdrive 40 Side Static" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/12/BMW-iX-Xdrive-40-Side-static.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>BMW is providing a 2.3kW single-phase charger for domestic sockets, as standard, and an 11kW AC wall box charger, as an introductory offer. Using the 2.3kW charger, the battery can be topped up from 0 to 100 per cent in 36 hours, while the latter can top it up in just seven hours. A 50kW DC fast charger can do the same in 73 minutes.</p>

<p><img alt="BMW IX Xdrive 40 Rear Three Quarter Static" height="720" src="/uploads/2021/12/BMW-iX-Xdrive-40-rear-three-quarter-static.jpg" width="1280" /></p>

<p>The BMW iX scored a five-star rating in Euro NCAP rating. What's interesting is that the safety ratings are valid for all variants, which means that even though <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/bmw/">BMW</a> India has brought in the lower xDrive 40 variant, it still adheres to the same safety standards. The iX scored 34.7/38 points in the adult occupant protection test and 43/49 points in the child occupant protection test.</p>
