The xDrive45 has a 0-60 mph acceleration of 4.9 seconds compared to the higher end ($111,500 starting) M70 xDrive version’s 3.6 seconds. If you dig the lit kidneys, you can get the new iX in the US starting in the second quarter of this year after production begins in March.

BMW’s electric SUV is now better in every way. The updated 2026 BMW iX packs more power and has up to 340 miles of driving range. It also gains sleek new design elements, like a light-up kidney grille. Even better, a new entry-level trim is over $12,000 cheaper than the outgoing model. Check out BMW’s new SUV below.

BMW says the 2026 iX is also equipped with a new heat pump that's more efficient in a wider range of temperatures. It has a new storage heating function used to aid in pre-conditioning of the battery for DC fast charging in cold environments.
