The BMW iX all-electric luxurious SUV has develop into barely dearer within the 2024 mannequin 12 months.
For the 2024 mannequin 12 months, the BMW iX xDrive50 begins at an MSRP of $87,100 (plus a $995 vacation spot cost), which is a few $3,000 greater than the 2023MY. The highest-of-the-line BMW iX M60 can be dearer (by $2,600) and begins at $111,500.
Initially, we believed the cheaper, entry-level xDrive40 model bought in different markets would enter the U.S. this 12 months after it was found on the EPA web site. This model was first launched in Europe, the place InsideEVs had a possibility to take a take a look at drive in 2022. However BMW has confirmed to us that the xDrive40 shouldn’t be coming right here in any case; its presence amongst EPA scores is a results of homologation in Canada the place the xDrive40 has already been launched.
The opposite two variations—xDrive50 and M60—are already out there within the U.S. and promote fairly nicely. All iXs are dual-motor all-wheel drive, though the upper the model, the extra energy, torque, and acceleration they provide.
Like within the case of the opposite BMW fashions, the import into the U.S. in addition to the value tag (exceeding the $80,000 cap), disqualifies it from the eligibility for the $7,500 federal tax credit score.
Battery and EPA Vary
The BMW iX xDrive50 and BMW iX M60 are geared up with a 111.5-kilowatt-hour battery (106.3 kWh of usable capability, up from 105.2 kWh that we noticed beforehand).
What’s odd within the new 2024 EPA vary scores is that they’re the identical for all wheel sizes, which is a bit unusual and it wasn’t like that within the case of the 2023 mannequin 12 months. Nevertheless, we don’t count on the identical real-world vary outcomes for every wheel measurement.
The bottom BMW iX xDrive40 is rated at 217 miles of EPA Mixed vary. The 2024 BMW iX xDrive50 has an EPA vary of 307 miles (in comparison with 305-324 miles beforehand). In the meantime, the 2024 BMW iX M60 will get 296 miles (in comparison with 274-288 miles beforehand), which is an attention-grabbing improve of some %.

Once we examine this with the 2023 mannequin 12 months, it appears that evidently the present result’s a bit worse, but it surely’s exhausting to say as a result of there isn’t a differentiation between wheel sizes:
