BMW iX xDrive40(2021)

Overview

Hooray! BMW are back again on the electric SUV train with the tech-heavy iX. Challenging the likes of the Tesla Model X, the entry-level xDrive40 sports 257 miles of range (or a whopping 380 miles for the premium xDrive50) and 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds – impressive for a hefty SUV. Underpinned by sophisticated software and superior computing power, its intentionally stripped back interior, bold upright kidney grille and lack of a central transmission tunnel make for a comfortable, spacious, and stylish ride.

Performance

Battery

Environmental impact

* This metric estimates the environmental impact of driving your electric vehicle based on how the electricity that powers your car is generated. We take the average carbon intensity across the UK grid measured throughout 2021 to calculate the expected grams of CO₂ emitted per 1 km driven. The actual number will vary by region, when you charge (e.g. carbon intensity is usually lower overnight period) and whether your electricity comes from more renewable sources than the average.
