BMW has taken the covers off its refreshed iX electric SUV.

Its exterior design has been updated with a new BMW kidney grille that features vertical and horizontal lines – and they can be illuminated for an additional cost, too.

The sporty M Sport trim now features a sculpted front bumper and rear diffuser finished in gloss black. Plus, there is also the option of seven new exterior paint finishes, too.

A choice of three battery packs is on offer – a 94.8kWh unit or larger 108.9kWh and 109.1kWh packs.

The smaller unit brings a 30 per cent increase in size over the outgoing car, pushing its claimed electric range up to 374 miles on a single charge – compared to 340 miles on the old car. The larger units provide a claimed 366 miles and 426 miles respectively between trips to the plug.

There are four different flavours of iX to choose from including an xDrive45 Sport and M Sport. Plus, there are sportier xDrive60 M Sport and M70 xDrive models available.

Standard equipment for all models includes adaptive LED headlights, heated front seats and steering wheel, a premium Harman Kardon sound system and a head-up display.

Prices start at £74,400 and rise to £113,300 for the flagship M70 xDrive model. First customer deliveries are expected to arrive in the UK in May 2025.
