2024 BMW iX xDrive50

BMW introduced its first all-electric SUV, the midsize iX, in 2022. It was our top-rated vehicle in the 2023 AAA Car Guide—and it reprises that role in 2025. In 2023, we said the iX — delivers dramatic styling, performance, comfort, and technological sophistication in spades. We stand by that assessment. Powered by dual electric motors (516 hp total), the iX boasts impressive power and acceleration; a solid range of 307 miles ensures that extended trips will be range anxiety-free. In addition, the iX drives and handles well: The steering provides ample feedback, and the suspension balances a comfortable ride with responsive, sporty handling. AWD is standard. Inside, the iX offers a roomy, luxurious, tech-focused cabin with standard features such as quad-zone climate control, a curved display with a 12.3-inch digital instrument panel and a 14.9-inch infotainment touch screen, and a panoramic, electronically controlled sunroof. A full set of standard advanced safety features is on tap, and more-sophisticated driver-assist features—such as automatic lane changing and limited hands-free driving—were included in our test car’s optional Driving Assistance Pro package.
