2026 BMW IX 60 XDRIVE ASSIST PLUS HANDS FREE WITH EYE MOVEMENT DETECTION

EV Channels Review

The 2026 BMW iX60 xDrive receives a significant refresh, focusing on increased power and improved range. The reviewer highlights the upgraded powertrain, now delivering 539 horsepower, and a larger 110 kWh battery, contributing to a posted range of 586 km. Real-world testing yielded impressive results, with highway range reaching approximately 550 km even with climate control active, and city driving achieving around 620 km. The reviewer praises the car's lightweight construction and dedicated EV platform for enhancing efficiency. However, the interior, while functional, remains largely unchanged. A notable drawback is the Bowers & Wilkins sound system's vibrating subwoofer, which the reviewer found distracting. Performance is described as quick but not class-leading, with a 0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds. The standout feature is the enhanced 'Assist Plus' hands-free driving system, now allowing lane changes initiated by simply looking at the rearview mirror, a significant improvement over previous versions. While the iX60 offers strong range and advanced driver assistance, its dated interior and the annoying sound system are points of concern.
