BMW iX
The boldly styled iX marks BMW’s foray into the electric crossover segment. It initially debuted with a model called xDrive50, but for 2023 the lineup is expanding with a new entry-level model (xDrive40) that offers less power and a smaller battery. There’s also a sportier and stronger option (M60), developed by the German automaker’s M performance division. Maximum range is anywhere between 322 km and 521 km depending on the model.
