BMW iX xDrive60

Overview

The 2025 BMW iX xDrive60 is a seriously slick all-electric SUV, positioning itself as a technologically advanced and luxurious option in the premium EV space. This German-built machine blends futuristic design with potent performance and a spacious, lounge-like cabin. Key highlights for the xDrive60 include its substantial battery, impressive real-world range, and BMW's signature driving dynamics. With an estimated new price of $88,500 in the US, it’s aimed squarely at buyers wanting a taste of the electric future without skimping on luxury or a thrilling drive.

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the iX lineup, including this xDrive60 trim, benefits from BMW's latest Operating System 8.5, offering a more intuitive user experience. Expect enhanced capabilities for the optional Parking Assistant Professional, potentially allowing remote parking via smartphone. The Highway Assistant, enabling hands-free driving up to 85 mph on compatible US highways, is also a key update for the iX family. The xDrive60 trim itself, as detailed here, appears as a fresh configuration for the model year, packing a specific punch of power and range detailed by Green Cars Compare.

Design & Exterior

The iX xDrive60 is a head-turner, no doubt. Its bold, somewhat controversial kidney grille (housing a ton of sensors, by the way) makes a statement, flanked by slim, aggressive LED headlights. The overall silhouette is muscular and modern, with flush door handles and frameless windows. This specific xDrive60 trim rides on stylish aero-optimized wheels. Dimensionally, it’s a sizable beast, measuring 195.5 inches long, 77.6 inches wide (excluding mirrors), and 66.7 inches tall, promising a commanding presence on the road and plenty of interior space.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the iX xDrive60, and you're greeted by a minimalist yet opulent cabin. Think plush materials, a hexagonal steering wheel, and a massive curved display housing a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment screen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. Passenger space is generous for five. Cargo-wise, you get a decent 17.7 cubic feet in the trunk, expanding to a very useful 61.8 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Unfortunately, there's no frunk on this particular EV for extra bits and bobs.

Performance & Driving Experience

The iX xDrive60 doesn't hang about! It sprints from 0-60 mph in a brisk 4.4 seconds, thanks to its dual-motor All-Wheel Drive setup. These are Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) front and rear, delivering a combined 400 kW of power and a hefty 564 lb-ft of torque – enough to press you back in your seat. Expect a supremely smooth and quiet ride, typical of high-end EVs, but with that classic BMW dynamic flair when you want to hustle. Regenerative braking is, of course, adjustable to suit your preference.

Range, Battery & Charging

Under the floor, the iX xDrive60 packs a substantial 109.1 kWh usable battery capacity. Green Cars Compare calculates a real-world range estimate of around 344 miles, with an efficiency of 3.15 mi/kWh. For charging, the standard 11 kW on-board AC charger can top it up from empty in about 10 hours. Hook it up to a DC fast charger, and it can guzzle electrons at up to 195 kW via its CCS Type 1 port, meaning a 10-80% charge can be done in roughly 35 minutes. No V2L mentioned for this trim.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

While specific 2025 NHTSA ratings for the xDrive60 trim aren't out, the BMW iX generally boasts excellent safety, earning a 5-star Euro NCAP rating and a Top Safety Pick from IIHS for previous model years. The xDrive60 comes loaded with standard driver-assistance kit, including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. More advanced features, like the Highway Assistant, are often part of optional packages, so check the spec sheet carefully for what's included.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

BMW backs the iX xDrive60 with a 4-year/50,000-mile basic and powertrain warranty in the US. Critically for an EV, the high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles. BMW also throws in complimentary maintenance for the first 3 years or 36,000 miles, which is a nice perk. As a modern EV, reliability is generally expected to be good, with fewer moving parts than a traditional combustion engine car, though the advanced tech means some systems can be complex.
