The BMW iX is a battery-electric mid-size luxury crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by the German automobile manufacturer BMW. It was unveiled in concept form as the Vision iNext at the 2018 LA Auto Show,[4] and then in its production form in November 2020.[5] The iX is BMW's second fully electric vehicle after the i3 in 2013,[6] and the fourth BMW i sub-brand model.

The iX nameplate was chosen to signify the model's position at the top of the electric i line-up and its role in showcasing technology as it uses the new fifth-generation version of BMW's electric drive system, and also offers high levels of autonomous and connected technology.[6]
