There is a strange fashion at BMW, with Domagoj Dukec subverting the design of the models. From now on, no one can accuse BMW of having all look the same. Individuality is also the M3 / M4, the new 2 and iX, even if this is hard enough to accept now, the new BMWs will be different. The iX radically changes the look and it strikes perfectly live.
We can hardly find a familiar ticket on it, the kidneys are just ornaments, they have no function, because it is an electric car and the proportions and details are quite new. It is very close in size to the X6, for example it is the same in height. An X5 is 3.1 inches longer, 3.7 inches narrower and 2.5 inches longer. 4953 mm long, 1967 mm wide and 1695 mm high, its wheelbase is around 3 meters. It’s a big car, but with a much smaller face than the X5 / X6 pair.
We could see two types of iXs, because the new electric car will also be available with the M Sport package, such as the white exhibited iX, the other is the base, no less solid exterior. Its wheels can be 20 to 22 inches, and behind them we can also see the more powerful blue-painted calipers of the M Sport. We’re wondering why you’ll need it, will the iX really be that sporty?
It promises to work with 326 horsepower and 630 Nm of torque from two electric motors, which means that the xDrive40 model is also all-wheel drive. With 523 horsepower and 765 Nm of torque, the xDrive50 is a sportier design that can accelerate to 100 in 4.6 seconds and has a high top speed of 200 km / h among electric cars.
Powerful even in range, the version with a net 71 kWh battery is capable of 425 kilometers and the 105.2 kWh version is capable of 630 kilometers on a single charge, which the latter can absorb up to 200 kilowatts. To keep the charge from being too big, BMW also provides its own RFID card for electric and plug-in hybrid customers. With this, the columns of several service providers can now be used, there is no need to use separate applications, we simply swipe the card and receive the bill from BMW every month. Pretty comfortable thing.
Just like the iX itself. The radical exterior similarly covers a radically different interior, but in this case the opinion is less divisive, much more unanimous. It is built along unprecedented forms, completely different designs, materials and philosophies. It recognizes traditional BMW tickets, but very few.
It wasn’t possible to take photos of the interiors of the cars yet because of the non-final onboard software, but we could sit in and feel them. The feeling of quality is high, for which the elegant lounge atmosphere may be responsible. They hid traditional things like the speakers of the hi-fi system because it doesn’t matter at all that they appear, instead the lines and surfaces are cleaned up.
