Reviews Summary | |
Reviews SummaryThe BMW iX receives minor styling updates for the 2026 model year. But the big news is the improved battery technology, which adds modest gains in power and range. These changes improve an already-appealing midsize electric SUV, but are they enough? Verdict: The dizzying pace of change in the electric vehicle segment is how a likeable luxury SUV such as the iX can seem like yesterday’s news after just a few short years. The 2026 BMW iX is competitive with the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, but pales in comparison to the Lucid Gravity and the Rivian R1S. | |
