BMW Flagship Electric Vehicle 'iX'

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] BMW Korea announced on the 26th that its flagship electric vehicle iX, launched this month, has surpassed 2,000 pre-orders, gaining great popularity.

The iX, which incorporates BMW's cutting-edge technology, is praised for combining the unique instant acceleration, dynamism, and quietness of a pure electric vehicle with the brand's distinctive sportiness.

The iX is equipped with BMW's latest electrified drivetrain, the 5th generation eDrive. The two electric permanent magnet synchronous motors applied in this system deliver maximum torque immediately upon pressing the accelerator pedal and maintain maximum torque over a wide range.

The combined maximum output of the iX xDrive50 is 523 horsepower. It accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. The iX xDrive40, which produces 326 horsepower, accelerates to 100 km/h in 6.1 seconds. The driving range per single charge is 447 km combined for the iX xDrive50 and 313 km combined for the iX xDrive40.

The body of the iX, which supports the powerful driving of the electric motor, is composed of the class-first aluminum space frame structure combined with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP), high-performance thermoplastic resin, high-strength steel, and aluminum.

The interior of the iX, where the differentiated sensibility unique to pure electric luxury models is most evident, is designed to evoke a premium lounge. The roof is equipped with a panoramic glass roof featuring an electrochromic shading function.

Additionally, the iX comes standard with convenience features such as the top-tier Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System, augmented reality navigation, door soft closing, BMW digital key in the form of a credit card, driver’s seat massage function, and 4-zone air conditioning.
