2024 BMW iX: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2024 BMW iX is more flexible control of battery preconditioning before DC fast charging. Otherwise, this is a quiet year with the same two trims, powertrain hardware, styling, and standard equipment as before.
About the 2024 BMW iX
1st generation (2022-2025), third model year before the 2026 refresh.
BMW positions the iX as a purpose-built electric luxury SUV that mixes strong performance, a lounge-like cabin, and high-end digital tech. It is meant to feel more special and more design-led than a conventional gas SUV, while still delivering everyday usefulness with five-passenger space, a large cargo area, and confident all-wheel-drive traction. Its core draw is that it feels futuristic and upscale without giving up the quick responses and road manners shoppers expect from a BMW.
The xDrive50 is the mainline version, pairing dual-motor AWD with a roomy, lounge-like cabin, a curved dashboard display, and a panoramic glass roof. The M60 is the performance-focused model, with up to 610 horsepower in Launch Control, an M-tuned air suspension, rear-wheel steering, and a Bowers & Wilkins sound system.

Battery preconditioning can be controlled more independently before a DC fast-charging stop, helping drivers prepare the battery for faster charging without relying as heavily on the navigation system.

2024 BMW iX
(544 reviews)
“Exceptional range, unique styling, advanced tech and features, and superior power.”
“There are not enough charging stations for a trip that is more than an hour away from home. Also, there are too many different types of public chargers, each with its own app. In my experience, charger stations are often out of service.”
