NEW BMW IX FACELIFT REVIEW OF ALL MODELS

EV Channels Review

The 2025 BMW iX lineup, comprising the xDrive45, xDrive60, and M70, receives a comprehensive review, highlighting key differences and improvements. The xDrive45 is positioned as the most affordable entry into the iX family for the US market, offering 402 hp and a 312-mile EPA range, making it a compelling value proposition despite its lower charging speed. The xDrive60, replacing the xDrive50, steps up with 536 hp, a significantly improved 364-mile EPA range, and faster charging, making it the reviewer's recommended 'sweet spot' for its balance of performance, range, and price. The range-topping M70 boasts 650 hp and a 303-mile EPA range, offering exhilarating performance but at a premium price. A standout feature across all models is the optional air suspension, highly recommended for its transformative effect on ride comfort. Interior updates include new M Sport seats with extended thigh support and the iDrive 8.5 system. While mechanical changes are minimal, the facelift focuses on efficiency, interior comfort, and refined driving modes, making the iX a more polished and comfortable daily driver, especially in its lower trims.
