We had the opportunity to drive the BMW iX in its xDrive40 spec last year and despite a smaller battery pack, the iX stood out amongst the current crop of electric cars. Not only for its explosive performance and the understated luxury in the cabin but its roadworthiness in the Indian context. The only real limiting factor then was the 425km range, which meant 300km in the real world and maybe 250km out on the highway. Now for those looking for an urban solution, the iX xDrive40 was more than sufficient but to us, it felt like the iX could be capable of so much more. Enter the iX xDrive50, more range, more performance, same incredible highway potential.
The iX xDrive50 gets a larger 105.2kW battery and as a result, the WLTP-rated range extends to an impressive 635km. Additionally, with 200kW rapid charging capability (compared to 150kW for the xDrive40), the xDrive50 can replenish its battery from 10 to 80 per cent in just 34 minutes.
