About the BMW iX xDrive40

The BMW iX xDrive40 is a premium all-electric SUV that combines cutting-edge EV technology, distinctive design, and everyday practicality in a package built for modern family and executive motoring. Developed as one of BMW’s dedicated electric flagship models, it blends luxury, advanced connectivity, and zero-emission driving while retaining the comfort and versatility expected from a premium SUV.

Power comes from a dual-motor all-wheel-drive system producing 240 kW, delivering smooth and responsive performance in all driving conditions. Instant electric torque provides effortless acceleration and refined progress, while the intelligent AWD system continuously optimises traction and stability. Whether navigating urban streets, covering motorway miles, or driving in poor weather conditions, the iX xDrive40 is engineered to feel confident, composed, and comfortable.

At the heart of the vehicle is a 71 kWh usable battery pack, providing a practical balance between efficiency and usability. With an official WLTP driving range of up to 264 miles, the iX xDrive40 is well suited to daily commuting, business travel, and longer family journeys. Real-world range will naturally vary depending on weather conditions, driving style, terrain, and vehicle specification.

Charging capability is designed to support convenient electric vehicle ownership. The iX xDrive40 supports CCS DC rapid charging at up to 148 kW, allowing drivers to recover a significant amount of range during charging stops when connected to compatible public charging infrastructure. Home and workplace charging options further enhance its everyday usability.

Inside, the iX showcases BMW’s vision of next-generation luxury. A spacious cabin, premium materials, advanced digital displays, and a sophisticated infotainment system create a modern and highly connected driving environment. Advanced driver-assistance technologies contribute to both safety and comfort, while flexible passenger accommodation makes the vehicle equally capable as a family SUV or executive cruiser. The iX xDrive40 also offers approximately 500 litres of luggage capacity, providing generous space for luggage, shopping, sports equipment, and everyday needs.

What makes the BMW iX xDrive40 particularly appealing is its combination of premium comfort, innovative technology, and all-electric practicality. Its spacious interior, intelligent all-wheel-drive system, and refined driving experience make it a compelling option for drivers seeking a luxury SUV with the benefits of zero-emission motoring.
