Roomy and comfortable luxury EV SUV

The 2024 BMW iX takes a simplistic, modern approach to interior design that won’t overwhelm you. Power comes from a pair of motors, providing AWD performance and faster acceleration than expected. Additionally, a spacious second row with luxurious finishes welcomes passengers. Plus, there’s lots of cargo space and functionality inside the 2024 BMW iX, which makes it an ideal EV family hauler. As the old expression goes, you can’t judge a book by its cover, and the same is true of the 2024 BMW iX.

5 reasons to buy the 2024 BMW iX

1. A functional interior with space for the family 

There’s just over 35 cu-ft of cargo space behind the second-row seats of the 2024 BMW iX—plenty to store whatever items you need to bring along for your next road trip. Plus, the split-folding second-row seats flex the storage space and open up for longer items. It’s also easy to find the child seat anchors in the rear seats, which have room to maneuver rear-facing seats in and out. These are just some functional tricks the 2024 BMW iX has up its sleeve. 

2. Heart-pounding performance and impressive range 

Setting a high bar to start, the 2024 BMW iX xDrive50 makes a respectable 516 hp and accelerates from zero-to-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds (when new, manufacturer time). For battery range, the 2024 BMW iX xDrive50 gets an EPA-estimated 307 miles of range on a full charge.

However, if you want more performance, opt for the 610-hp M60 trim, which cuts the zero-to-60 time to just 3.6 seconds (when new, manufacturer time). With all of the torque available immediately, the 2024 BMW iX's acceleration and performance are not what you expect from an SUV this size. 

3. Well-equipped with luxurious features and modern tech 

The 2024 BMW iX xDrive50 welcomes you in with soft, supportive seating, excellent legroom, and warm ambient lighting. There are also heated seats, a heated steering wheel, synthetic leather seating, and a four-zone automatic climate control. These are just some of the comfort features that create a relaxing atmosphere. Lastly, excellent sound isolation and suspension dampening keep outside noises minimal. 

4. Excellent driving dynamics and handling 

Most midsized SUVs aren’t known for dynamic handling, but the 2024 BMW iX is as fun as it is comfortable. The BMW xDrive AWD directs power to the wheels with the best traction in tight corners or bad weather, while the suspension confidently manages body roll. The result is a sharp steering response and quick acceleration, making even the most routine drives in a 2024 BME iX exciting. 

5. A refined and comfortable ride 

Even with the 2024 BMW set to sports mode, the ride is sophisticated and smooth. That’s because the suspension dampens road bumps and potholes, even in the sportiest setting. Because the electric motors are barely noticeable during hard acceleration, and sound insulation manages wind noise, you can enjoy a library-quiet ride even on the highway. Regardless of the drive mode you set, the 2024 BMW iX delivers a quiet and refined ride.
