see photosThe new BMW IX takes on the Audi e-tron, Jaguar I-Pace and Mercedes-Benz EQC in the segment.
BMW IX Launched in India in a single xDrive40 variant priced at ₹ 1.16 Cr (ex-showroom). This is the first all-electric offering from the brand in the country and also the first electric SUV from the Bavarian carmaker. BMW says the IX promises the practicality of the X5, the luxury of the X7 and the dynamism of the X6. And while we agree with the first two claims, we have yet to test the third. But a review is definitely in the works. That being said, BMW is one of the last luxury players to enter the EV SUV space, which already has quite a few options. So where does the new iX stand on the pricing front compared to its rivals? let’s take a look.
