A refreshed exterior introduces a striking front design with a redesigned BMW kidney grille, incorporating vertical and diagonal elements. The standard adaptive LED headlights now feature city lights for enhanced visibility. At the same time, the optional M Sport package adds an assertive stance with bold air intakes and sleek body-colour surfaces. New metallic finishes, including Arctic Race Blue and Frozen Pure Grey, further personalise the iX’s aesthetic. The iX M70 xDrive stands out with M-specific design elements such as an exclusive grille, black mirror caps, and 22-inch M alloy wheels.

A refined drive system and advanced battery technology optimise efficiency, with the MAX RANGE function extending the remaining range by up to 25%.

Charging capabilities are further enhanced with improved direct current (DC) charging of up to 195 kW, allowing rapid energy replenishment. The system intelligently adapts to optimise charging speed and efficiency, while the My BMW App simplifies route planning by integrating charging stops.
