NEW BMW IX M70 COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2026 BMW iX M70 receives a comprehensive review, highlighting significant improvements over its predecessor, the iX M60. The reviewer praises the enhanced performance, with 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque enabling a rapid 0-60 mph time of 3.45 seconds. Key upgrades include a noticeably improved suspension system, offering a wider gap between Comfort and Sport modes, making it more compliant for daily driving while retaining sportiness. The most celebrated change is the introduction of M Sport seats, providing much-needed bolster and thigh support, addressing a major complaint from previous models. Efficiency sees a boost thanks to new inverters, tires, and aero, extending range to 302 miles (EPA). Charging remains at 195 kW, but battery pre-conditioning is improved. While the exterior sees subtle design tweaks, the interior's minimalist and spacious design is a consistent highlight. The reviewer concludes that the M70 is a refined and compelling electric SUV, especially for those prioritizing comfort and performance, though the significant price difference from the xDrive60 is noted.
