Inovev forecasts 20,000 units per year of the new BMW iX
- BMW has unveiled its new battery electric vehicle, an SUV based on the i-Next concept presented in November 2018. It is simply called iX, which could create confusion with the existing iX3. It might have been smarter to call it iX5 or iX7, or even i-Next.
- The BMW iX is in fact in the form of a large SUV (E segment), 4.90 m long and 1.80 m high, or dimensions close to that of an X5 or an X6.
- Obviously, the new model will be in terms of price at the top of the hierarchy of SUVs of the Bavarian brand, above 100,000 euros (an iX3 is already priced 70,000 euros).
- At this price, do not expect a large sales volume, probably around 20,000 units per year. It's not as good as an Audi E-Tron but better than a Mercedes EQC.
- On the technical side, the BMW iX adopts a new platform and engine. Two electric motors offer a combined power of more than 500 hp and the 100 kWh battery provides a range of 600 km, more than that of the Audi E-Tron (445 km) or the Tesla Model X (560 km), its main competitors. Note also the reintroduction of carbon fiber elements in the materials used on the body structure, which has not been seen in BMW since the 7 Series.
- The BMW iX will be on sale from autumn 2021 and will be produced at the German Dingolfingplant, alongside the 5 Series, 6 Series, 7 Series and 8 Series.
