ELEGANT, ALL-ELECTRIC, BARELY TOUCHED! The 2026 BMW iX xDrive45 continues to serve as BMW's flagship electric SUV, and with barely 80 miles on the odometer, this particular example is essentially brand new. Wrapped in a striking Arctic Race Blue Metallic finish and equipped with both the Premium and Climate Comfort Packages, this iX represents the newly refreshed lineup at its most compelling. BMW markets the iX as a Sports Activity Vehicle, or SAV -- the company's own designation for its SUV-style models, chosen to emphasize a more athletic, driver-focused character than a typical crossover. Standard xDrive all-wheel drive reinforces that character with genuine year-round confidence. Why Shoppers Buy This Model The iX earned its place as BMW's technological flagship by combining genuine long-range electric capability with a boldly futuristic design and cabin. Its expressive, geometric styling and lounge-like interior continue to set it apart from more conventionally styled electric SUV rivals, appealing to buyers who want their EV to feel unmistakably different from the crowd. One of the iX's most distinctive design elements is its illuminated kidney grille -- since there's no combustion engine to cool, BMW reimagined its traditional grille as a sealed, sensor-housing panel rather than a functional air intake, using it instead to house cameras and radar for the vehicle's driver-assistance systems while preserving BMW's signature front-end identity in a genuinely modern way. Shoppers cross-shopping the iX against rivals like the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and Audi Q8 e-tron consistently cite its distinctive design and genuinely impressive real-world range as reasons they chose it over a more conventionally styled electric SUV. Automotive Press and Industry Recognition The refreshed iX xDrive45 has drawn strong praise from reviewers for delivering genuinely impressive real-world range that regularly exceeds its own EPA estimate, along with a noticeably sharper handling character than its size would suggest.
