BMW iX Blends Comfort, Range And Composed Long-Distance Pace

The BMW iX shows how far the brand’s electric know-how has come. This flagship SUV blends limo-grade refinement with the sort of clean, measured responses that make long journeys effortless. Look past the bold surfacing and you find a purpose-built EV platform, a hushed cabin and a driving position that feels natural from the off. On the move, the iX glides over rough patches, keeps wind rustle at bay and serves up instant, well-metered shove that makes overtakes neat and unflustered.

BMW’s latest updates sharpen the package further. Revised motors, smarter inverters and tweaked software improve efficiency and charging consistency, while the entry iX xDrive45 now pairs strong performance with genuinely robust real-world range. Step up to the xDrive60 for even longer legs between plugs, or the M70 if you want the most urgent responses and tauter body control without losing the car’s calm, long-stride character. Four-wheel steering on higher trims helps this big SUV change direction with surprising precision.

Away from the numbers, the iX simply feels well sorted. Steering is light yet accurate, the chassis remains composed when you press on, and motorway pace barely disturbs conversation. The cabin backs that up with rich materials, crisp twin displays and the welcome retention of iDrive’s clickwheel, which makes mid-journey adjustments instinctive. Space is generous for passengers, and while the boot isn’t class-leading, the near-flat load area and split-folding backrests make family life easy.

Safety and usability round out the appeal. Assistance systems work unobtrusively, refinement remains high even on coarser surfaces, and towing ability is genuinely strong for an EV. What you’re left with is a large electric BMW that feels engineered for real roads: quiet, stable, efficient and confident over distance. If you want an electric SUV that mixes comfort with proper long-range capability, the BMW iX makes a compelling case.
