Recently, the new BMW iX was officially launched, and the new car continued to launch three configurations, with a price range of 7.469 ~ 9.942 million yuan. As a routine small change, the new car is mainly adjusted for price and configuration, and the whole car has not changed much. Let's take a look at its performance.
appearance design
The design of the new BMW iX has not been adjusted. Among them, the car adopts the latest large-size closed kidney air intake grille of BMW family, and sensor groups such as radar are hidden inside. The panel is made of materials that do not interfere with electromagnetic waves, which reduces the influence of material shielding on the sensor. The headlight group is slender in shape, and the traditional L-shaped light strip is integrated into it. In terms of lighting, adaptive far and near light, automatic headlights, turn signals and other functions are standard. In addition, the front wall of the car has a design similar to the shape of the radiator, which seems to have a certain sense of the future.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of this model are 4955× 1967× 1698 mm, and the wheelbase is 3000 mm The side of this model is round and full, which has the heavy feeling that this class of models should have. At the same time, the appearance of the high-performance version has also added more sports style design, such as blue M high-performance brake calipers.
BMW makes the shape of iX tail thicker, and the lines are obviously tightened from bottom to top, which reflects the solid vision of SUV models. The shape of the taillight group is also very slender, which obviously echoes the headlight group, and the family-style L-shaped elements are integrated inside. In addition, the reversing image camera is integrated under the Logo, and the blue sky and white clouds can also extend out of the camera cleaning device.
interior design
The interior design of the new BMW iX remains unchanged. As the flagship product of pure electric series, the interior design of this car is completely different from the existing BMW models. Among them, the center console is equipped with 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and 14.9-inch central control display screen. The curved screen is suspended above the center console in the form of a bracket, and the whole screen tilts to the driver's side. Built-in brand-new iDrive 8 operating system, the color rendering of internal system menu and application interface is in place. In addition, the car is decorated with bright decorative strips, wooden decorative panels, crystal ornaments, environmentally friendly leather and other elements, and the luxury atmosphere is quite rich.
According to different configurations, the interior seats of the new models are wrapped in imitation leather and genuine leather fabrics. The main and co-pilot seats are electrically adjusted as standard in terms of functions, and the front seats are heated. The front seats fit the design concept of the living room on the inner wheel of the car, and the modeling design and color matching have the feeling of a big sofa.
There is relatively ample space in the back row. Under normal circumstances, the leg space can reach about two fists. Unfortunately, the middle seat is slightly convex, and the backrest is the central armrest, so the padding is hard and the ride comfort is really average. Fortunately, the back floor is relatively flat and the longitudinal width of the middle part is considerable enough.
electric power system
The maximum power output of BMW iX xDrive 40 and xDrive 50 are 326 HP and 524 HP respectively, the peak torque is 630 Nm and 765 Nm respectively, and the zero-hundred-speed acceleration performance is 6. 1 s and 4.6 seconds respectively. The maximum power of the M60 model is 6 19 horsepower, the peak torque is 1 100 Nm, and the zero acceleration performance is 3.8 seconds. In addition, this model is matched with ternary lithium batteries with capacities of 76.6 kWh and11.5 kWh, and the pure electric cruising range of CLTC is 47 1km, 665km and 640km respectively.
Vehicle configuration and purchase suggestions
As a regular annual change, the 2023 BMW iX focuses on the adjustment of price and configuration, in which the price of xDrive40 remains unchanged, the automatic parking assist system Plus is upgraded to the automatic parking assist system Pro, and the tire maintenance package is cancelled. XDrive50 increased the price by 22,000 yuan, added front multifunctional seats, upgraded the automatic parking assist system Plus to the automatic parking assist system Pro, and canceled the tire maintenance package. The price of M60 is reduced by 2700 yuan, and the function has not been adjusted. The new car still has three configurations to choose from, and the price range is 74.69 ~ 994,200 yuan. Let's analyze them one by one and see which one is more cost-effective.

Che Shu concluded
In general, the focus of this adjustment of the 2023 BMW iX is on configuration and price, in which the low-middle version of the automatic driving assistance system has been upgraded, and the car has a maximum price increase of 22,000 yuan. Compared with products of the same level and price, BMW iX is not competitive. Its pricing is on the high side and its configuration is not sincere enough, which is also a common problem of BBA. It is true that such products have a strong brand influence and are easy to attract users' attention. However, in today's new energy era, users are more likely to recognize their hard power, and luxury new energy products must be truly researched and developed around users' actual needs in order to maintain their luxury positioning. But now it seems that luxury models represented by BMW iX and Mercedes-Benz EQ series have become less and less popular among Chinese people!
