The BMW iX is a large battery-electric SAV whose published figures span launch specifications, 2025 European technical data and 2026 US-market announcements. The measurements below keep those periods, markets, test procedures and modeled estimates separate, because they are not one interchangeable time series.

BMW iX Performance and Model-Variant Statistics
The launch range and later model announcements use different markets and naming periods. The launch figures below come from BMW’s global presentation of the xDrive40 and xDrive50, while the 2025 and 2026 figures are later market-specific data.
| Variant and period | Power | Acceleration or speed |
|---|---|---|
| xDrive40, launch 2021 | 240 kW (326 hp) | 0–62 mph in 6.1 seconds |
| xDrive50, launch 2021 | 385 kW (523 hp) | 0–62 mph in 4.6 seconds |
| xDrive45, ACEA data, January 2025 | 300 kW (408 hp) | 0–100 km/h in 5.1 seconds; 200 km/h top speed |
| M70 xDrive, US announcement, 2026 | Up to 650 hp in Sport mode | 0–60 mph in 3.6 seconds |

The 2026 US announcement lists three variants: xDrive45, xDrive60 and M70 xDrive. For the M70 xDrive, BMW reports 811 lb-ft with Launch Control; that is a launch-control maximum, not a general-purpose everyday output figure.
BMW iX Battery, Charging and Range Data
Battery figures need a clear distinction between gross energy content and net usable energy. The launch xDrive50 battery was listed at 111.5 kWh gross and 105.2 kWh net, while the smaller xDrive40 battery was listed at 76.6 kWh gross and 71.0 kWh net.
| Variant and period | Battery energy | Charging or range measure |
|---|---|---|
| xDrive40, launch 2021 | 76.6 kWh gross; 71.0 kWh net | — |
| xDrive50, launch 2021 | 111.5 kWh gross; 105.2 kWh net | 10–80% in 35 minutes at 200 kW DC |
| xDrive45, ACEA data, 2025 | 94.8 kWh net usable | About 30% more than its predecessor, according to BMW |
| xDrive45, US announcement, 2026 | 100.1 kWh net usable | Up to 312 miles, preliminary EPA-procedure estimate |
| xDrive60, US announcement, 2026 | 113.4 kWh net usable | Up to 340 miles, preliminary EPA-procedure estimate |
| M70 xDrive, US announcement, 2026 | 112.8 kWh net usable | Up to 302 miles, preliminary EPA-procedure estimate |

For the launch xDrive50, BMW listed a 369-volt battery with 303 ampere-hours, a maximum DC charging rate of 195 kW and less than 11 hours for 0–100% charging at an 11 kW three-phase wallbox. The 2026 range figures are preliminary BMW AG estimates based on EPA test-procedure standards, not final EPA label values.
BMW iX Dimensions, Weight, Cargo and Towing Measurements
The launch xDrive50’s physical measurements describe a substantial vehicle: 4,953 mm long, 1,967 mm wide and 1,696 mm high, with a 3,000 mm wheelbase. Its DIN unladen weight was 2,510 kg and its DIN payload was 635 kg.
- The launch xDrive50 luggage capacity was 500–1,750 litres, depending on seating and cargo configuration.
- The launch xDrive50 turning circle was 13.0 metres.
- The launch xDrive50 maximum braked trailer load was 2,500 kg at a 12% gradient; market and equipment rules apply.
- The 2025 ACEA-market xDrive45 curb weight was 2,450 kg under the DIN convention or 2,525 kg under the EU convention.
- The 2025 xDrive45 DIN payload was 650 kg.
- The 2025 xDrive45 maximum braked trailer load was 2,500 kg at a 12% gradient.
- The 2026 US-market xDrive45, xDrive60 and M70 xDrive each had a maximum permitted towing capacity of 3,500 lb; tow-hitch availability was optional and market-specific.

DIN and EU weight conventions are not interchangeable. Likewise, the European braked-trailer ratings and the US towing figure use different units and market rules, so they should be read as market-specific specifications rather than a single global rating.
BMW iX Electricity Consumption and Emissions Statistics
The launch WLTP figures show configuration ranges rather than one fixed consumption number. The xDrive50 was listed at 19.8–23.0 kWh/100 km, while the xDrive40 was listed at 19.4–22.5 kWh/100 km.
| Variant and period | Official consumption or range | Emissions or other measure |
|---|---|---|
| xDrive40, launch WLTP | 19.4–22.5 kWh/100 km | 0 g/km combined tailpipe CO2 |
| xDrive50, launch WLTP | 19.8–23.0 kWh/100 km | 0 g/km combined tailpipe CO2 |
| xDrive45, January 2025 WLTP | 21.8 kWh/100 km combined; 27.0 kWh/100 km motorway | 490–602 km WLTP range; 67 dB(A) drive-by noise |
| xDrive45, 2026 UK/European reporting | 20.9 kWh/62 miles | Test presentation differs from US EPA range |
| xDrive60, 2026 UK/European reporting | 21.0 kWh/62 miles | Test presentation differs from US EPA range |
| M70 xDrive, 2026 UK/European reporting | 23.6 kWh/62 miles | Test presentation differs from US EPA range |

The 0 g/km figures are tailpipe CO2 results under WLTP reporting; they do not mean that the vehicle has zero lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions. WLTP motorway consumption is a defined test-cycle result, not a promise for every real-world journey, and wheels, tires and equipment can affect official ranges.
BMW iX Lifecycle Carbon and Material Data
BMW’s 2025 Vehicle Footprint report models an xDrive45 over a 200,000-km use basis. It gives two electricity scenarios: renewable electricity during use produces 22.3 tonnes CO2e across the modeled lifecycle, while the European electricity mix produces 32.9 tonnes CO2e.
- Supply chain and logistics contribute 20.2 tonnes CO2e in both listed xDrive45 electricity scenarios.
- BMW production contributes 0.7 tonnes CO2e in both scenarios.
- End of life contributes 0.6 tonnes CO2e in both scenarios.
- The use phase contributes 0.8 tonnes CO2e with renewable electricity and 11.4 tonnes CO2e with the European electricity mix.
- The footprint model hands the xDrive45 to customers with 20.9 tonnes CO2e before the use phase.
- Process polymers account for 1.4% of xDrive45 weight at start of production in the 2025 footprint report.
- Operating fluids account for about 1.5% of xDrive45 weight in the same material-composition estimate.

These are BMW lifecycle-assessment model outputs, not measured fleet averages. The report notes that local electricity mixes may differ and that some logistics use forecasted volume plans, so the renewable and European-mix totals should be treated as defined scenarios rather than universal outcomes.
BMW iX Production, Dingolfing Capacity and Sustainability Trends
Series production began at BMW Group Plant Dingolfing, where planned e-drive capacity from 2022 was more than 500,000 electrified vehicles per year. That is a planned capacity figure, not necessarily realized annual output.
BMW also reported that independent auditors assessed the iX xDrive40’s greenhouse-gas potential at around 45% below a comparable combustion-engine SAV. The comparison is company-reported and independently audited, but its result depends on the selected comparator and lifecycle boundary.
For the xDrive50, BMW said renewable energy and secondary materials cut vehicle-production CO2 emissions by 18% versus production without those measures. This is a production-scenario comparison, not a whole-lifecycle emissions reduction.
The 2026 US pricing announcement listed a base MSRP of $75,150 for the xDrive45, before $1,175 destination and handling, options, taxes and incentives. The price is a US base MSRP for the stated announcement period, not a global price or an estimate of ownership cost.

Taken together, the production data describes an expanding electrification manufacturing capability, while the footprint data shows why electricity sourcing remains material to modeled lifecycle results. The figures should remain separated by model, market, measurement period and assessment boundary when comparing BMW iX statistics.
