The BMW iX, the new technological flagship of the BMW Group, is ready to go into series production.
The first “Sports Activity Vehicle” conceived as a fully electric vehicle. The First BMW iX offers an interpretation of design, sustainability, emission-free driving pleasure, versatility and luxury based on the use of futuristic tools. The worldwide market launch will take place in November 2021.
Perfectly balanced driving characteristics: solid, comfortable and agile; Electric four-wheel drive, limiting wheel slip, and shock absorbers with controlled height adjustment as standard, two-axle air suspension, electronically controlled shock absorbers, integral active steering, Air Performance wheels and noise-reducing tires.
Motorization versions
The First BMW iX goes on sale in two versions: BMW iX xDrive50 with 385 kW / 523 hp, electrical consumption of 23.0 - 19.8 kWh / 100 km, CO2 emissions of 0 g / km and range of up to 630 km (WLTP); BMW iX xDrive40 with 240 kW / 326 hp, electricity consumption of 22.5 - 19.4 kWh / 100 km, CO2 emissions of 0 g / km and range of up to 425 km (WLTP). The BMW iX M60 will come later, with more than 440 kW / 600 hp and even more dynamic all-wheel drive; combined electricity consumption: 21.6 kWh / 100 km (WLTP), CO2 emissions 0 g / km (expected values according to the current state of development of the vehicle).
Fifth generation of BMW eDrive technology with electric motor, electronic unit and transmission, as well as the latest, highly integrated battery cell technology. The powertrain generates a maximum torque of 765 Nm in the BMW iX xDrive50 and 630 Nm in the BMW iX xDrive40. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h in 4.6 seconds (BMW iX xDrive50). High-voltage battery with a gross energy content of 111.5 kWh in the BMW iX xDrive50 and 76.6 kWh in the BMW iX xDrive40.
One-pedal feel
Likewise, you can choose between the adaptive energy regeneration function or perform an adjustable regeneration through braking, which increases efficiency and the feeling of “one-pedal”, as well as the use of the propulsion function by inertia, depending on the needs and the traffic situation.
Similarly, the integrated heating and cooling system with indoor heat pump function, high-voltage battery and traction system. Advance thermal management of the high-voltage battery helps to optimize the efficiency of the charging process.
The Combined Charging Unit allows the battery to be charged in fast charging stations using direct current up to 200 kW (BMW iX xDrive50) or 150 kW (BMW iX xDrive40).
Rigorously optimized aerodynamics:
- Aerodynamic coefficient (Cx): 0.25.
- 21-inch or 22-inch Air Performance wheels available as an option.
- Aluminio Spaceframe chassis and Carbon Cage allow to lighten the weight.
New BMW iDrive system
Premiere of the new generation of the BMW iDrive control / operating system. Touch screen functionality with the new BMW Curved Display and BMW Natural Interaction using voice commands with the constantly updated BMW personal assistant. All-digital display grouping, consisting of a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and a 14.9-inch instrument cluster display. State-of-the-art graphics display and powerful software based on the BMW ID8 operating system.
My Modes
The new "My Modes" mode expands the possibilities of selecting vehicle settings. Remote software updates and on-demand features keep the vehicle's software always up-to-date. Navigation system with the BMW Maps cloud-based system and augmented reality on the control screen. Route planning, including stops along the way to recharge the battery with the Connected Charging feature. The inner camera can be used to take pictures while traveling. The BMW iX is a leader in data transmission with 5G technology. Integration of personal mobile phone numbers in the vehicle using eSim.
Technologically adapted to you
Certainly, the new technology kit for the first BMW iX offers extraordinary potential to drive the development of automated driving and parking functions. The new generation of sensors, new software and a powerful computing platform create exceptional intelligence. Five cameras, five radar sensors and 12 ultrasonic sensors monitor the vehicle's surroundings.
Driver assistance systems as standard
It features the most comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems ever to be fitted as standard on a BMW. Forward Collision Warning now also detects oncoming traffic when turning left (in countries where vehicles travel on the right) and pedestrians and cyclists when turning right. Crossing alert with city braking function. Lane departure warning and steering assistants are also available in multiple situations. Active Cruise Control with speed limit assistant.
Parking Assistant (includes backup camera and parking assistant) as standard. The Parking Assistant Plus package is now available with the remote theft recording function as an option.
Luxurious & sustainable design
Expressive exterior design, with a clean and simple language, that conveys a clear message of sustainability and future-oriented luxury. The imposing body design and precision-sculpted details create a premium character with a modern twist.
What's more, the First BMW iX redefines the successful Sports Activity Vehicle concept. Powerful proportions, with the exterior length and width of the BMW X5, the height of the BMW X6 and the dimensions of the wheels of the BMW X7.
The visually striking BMW double kidney grille, vertically enhanced and almost fully embedded, serves as an intelligence panel with integrated camera and radar technology. Extremely slim LED headlights and taillights, embedded and electronic door handles, reversing assist camera with tilt system integrated into the BMW logo on the tailgate. The Sport Package and BMW Individual Exterior Line Titanium is available as an option.
Inside
Newly developed interior architecture. The vehicle has been designed from the inside out. Luxurious and pleasant atmosphere created thanks to its spaciousness, a slim instrument panel, newly developed seats with integrated head restraints and an extraordinarily large panoramic glass roof with electrochromic dimming. The absence of the central tunnel creates additional legroom and storage areas, as well as a center console that looks like a high-quality piece of furniture.
Newly designed control panel with sensor bars and touch active haptic input, gear selector and touch controller with glass effect finish. The hexagonal steering wheel makes its debut on a standard BMW model. BMW Head-Up Display with frameless projector integration.
There are three design variants to choose from: Atelier as standard, which has Sensatec surfaces; Loft, which provides high-quality fabrics and microfiber and an instrument panel with a printed color gradient; and the Suite finish, which includes natural leather surfaces.
Systems designed for you
Automatic air conditioning system that is controlled by touch screen, with integrated nanofiber filter. Temperature control intelligently controlled by air flow and taking account of surface temperature.
Likewise, Harman Kardon surround sound system with integrated speakers out of sight in the rear headrests. The Bowers & Wilkins Diamond surround sound system also features 4D audio, which uses bass drivers in the front seats.
BMW IconicSounds Electric
Model-specific driving sound with authentic reaction to acceleration and speed. In addition, the new BMW IconicSounds Electric as standard allows the integration of new sound variants produced thanks to the collaboration with the soundtrack composer Hans Zimmer.
Sustainability throughout the chain
First, an exceptional and unwavering focus on sustainability with a responsible use of resources throughout the value chain, which minimizes the carbon footprint at all stages of the product life cycle.
Vehicle production will take place at the BMW Group plant in Dingolfing and battery cell manufacturing will take place using a green energy 100%, sourced from certified sources; the aluminio is produced with solar energy.
The principle of bespoke design of electric motors dispenses with the need for rare earth metals. Controlled, transparent and sustainable extraction of cobalt and lithium for the high voltage battery.
Finally, extensive use of secondary raw materials, natural and recycled materials: high proportion of recycled aluminum and plastic. The use of chrome has almost been eliminated, FSC certified wood, leather tanned with olive leaf extract, floor coverings and carpets made from recycled fishing nets.
