Compare 2026 BMW iX Trim Levels

Choosing among the three 2026 BMW iX trim levels starts with deciding what you want from your next vehicle:

• iX xDrive45: Select comfort and handling upgrades individually rather than step directly into a more extensively equipped configuration
• iX xDrive60: If longer journeys are central to your plans and you want a balance between driving distance and output
• iX M70 xDrive: A performance-focused configuration with more of the available cabin and chassis equipment included

Review optional packages alongside your priorities. A carefully configured vehicle may fit your routine better than choosing by trim name alone.

Interior Space With Everyday Flexibility

Every 2026 BMW iX seats five, with 40.2 inches of front legroom and 38.9 inches in the second row. There is 35.5 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats upright and up to 77.9 cubic feet with them folded. The 40/20/40-split rear seatback makes that space adaptable. Fold the center section for longer items while keeping the outer rear seats available, or lower additional sections when luggage takes priority. A power liftgate helps simplify loading.

Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are included. Upholstery and seat equipment vary by trim: xDrive45 and xDrive60 feature perforated SensaTec upholstery, while M70 xDrive includes M Multi-Functional seats and M Sport SensaTec/microfiber upholstery. Front-seat ventilation is available on the first two models and included on M70 xDrive, a useful distinction for warm Gainesville afternoons. The Panoramic Eclipsing Roof changes its transparency electronically to adjust the cabin atmosphere. It is optional on xDrive45 and standard on xDrive60 and M70 xDrive. The Climate Comfort Package adds equipment such as heated rear seats and heated interior surfaces; it is available on xDrive45 and xDrive60 and standard on M70 xDrive.

Exterior Design With a Distinct BMW Identity

2026 BMW iX wears a revised BMW kidney grille with vertical and diagonal detailing, updated lighting signatures, and sculpted bodywork. Grille illumination adds definition after dark and is optional on xDrive45 and xDrive60 and standard on M70 xDrive. An available M Sport Package gives the first two models a more performance-focused appearance. Standard wheels measure 20 inches on xDrive45 and xDrive60. M70 xDrive features standard 21-inch M Aero Bicolor wheels. Larger wheel options vary by configuration.

At 195.5 inches long and 77.6 inches wide without mirrors, BMW iX provides a substantial cabin footprint. Power-folding, heated exterior mirrors and rain-sensing windshield wipers add everyday convenience.

Available exterior paint choices include the following, with availability dependent on configuration:

• Arctic Race Blue Metallic
• Dune Grey Metallic
• Carbon Black Metallic
• BMW Individual Frozen Deep Grey Metallic

Electric Performance With Standard All-Wheel Drive

Every 2026 BMW iX pairs two electric motors with all-wheel drive and a single-speed automatic transmission. Output increases across the lineup:

• iX xDrive45: 402 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque
• iX xDrive60: 536 horsepower and 564 lb-ft of torque
• iX M70 xDrive: 570 horsepower and 749 lb-ft of torque in regular operation, with up to 650 horsepower in My Mode Sport and up to 811 lb-ft of torque with Launch Control

Adaptive two-axle air suspension and Integral Active Steering are standard on M70 xDrive and available on xDrive45 and xDrive60 through the Dynamic Handling Package. Air suspension manages ride height and body control, while Integral Active Steering adds rear-wheel steering to support maneuverability and stability. M70 xDrive also receives M-specific chassis tuning. Regenerative braking recovers energy during deceleration, with selectable settings to tailor the response. When properly equipped, each trim has a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. Confirm hitch equipment and applicable towing limits for the specific vehicle before attaching a trailer.

2026 BMW iX Electric Range and Charging

2026 BMW iX electric range and charging depend on the trim and configuration you choose. EPA-estimated range reaches up to 312 miles for xDrive45, 364 miles for xDrive60, and 303 miles for M70 xDrive in applicable configurations. These are estimates, not guaranteed distances. Optional wheels and tires can reduce the rating, and actual range varies with temperature, driving style, terrain, climate-control use, and other conditions. All three trims include an 11-kW onboard AC charger for compatible Level 2 charging. For a home setup, electrical capacity and installation requirements should be evaluated by a qualified electrician. Home charging can make replenishing the battery part of your regular parking routine rather than a separate stop.

For travel, xDrive45 supports DC charging at up to 175 kW, while xDrive60 and M70 xDrive support up to 195 kW. Estimated charging times from 10 percent to 80 percent are approximately 34 minutes for xDrive45 and 35 minutes for xDrive60 and M70 xDrive under suitable DC charging conditions. Actual charging time and power depend on battery temperature, starting charge level, charger capability, and other factors; maximum power is not maintained throughout a charging session. Battery preconditioning can prepare the battery for a planned charging stop. Available charging-optimized route planning also helps organize longer trips around charging locations. For Gainesville driving and trips beyond the area, consider both your usual daily distance and the charging options along your route.

Technology That Puts Key Functions Within Reach.

BMW Curved Display combines driver information and central touchscreen functions in a driver-oriented arrangement. BMW Operating System 8.5 includes QuickSelect shortcuts, reducing the need to move through submenus for common tasks. BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant also lets you use natural voice commands for supported functions.

• My BMW App connectivity: Supported functions include checking vehicle status and available range, along with remote access to selected vehicle controls

Connected functions depend on compatible devices, account setup, service availability, and applicable subscription terms. Confirm the equipment and services included with your chosen vehicle.

Safety and Driver Assistance for Daily Travel

2026 BMW iX combines standard driver-assistance equipment with available systems for highway travel and parking. Front, side, and curtain airbags work alongside electronic stability control and traction control, while assistance features provide alerts or support within their operating limits.

Five features to know include:

• Standard Forward Collision Mitigation: Assists in certain detected frontal-collision situations
• Standard Active Blind Spot Detection: Helps alert the driver to detected vehicles in monitored blind-spot areas
• Standard Lane Keeping Assistant: Supports the driver with lane-related assistance within system limits
• Standard Parking Assistant with Back-Up Assistant: Helps with supported parking and reversing maneuvers
• Available Highway Assistant: Permits hands-free assistance on suitable limited-access highways under specified conditions, while requiring the driver to remain attentive and monitor the road

Available Parking Assistant Professional can also support certain parking maneuvers controlled from outside the vehicle using a compatible smartphone. These systems do not make BMW iX autonomous. The driver remains responsible for steering, braking, monitoring traffic, and responding when necessary.
