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 named Vision iNext at the 2018 Paris Motor Show,[4] and then as fully production-ready in November 2020.[5] The iX is the first purpose-built electric vehicle by BMW since the i3 from 2013,[6] and the fourth BMW i sub-brand model.[7]
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.[8]
