The short version
The 2026 BMW iX starts at $75,150, goes 364 miles on a charge, sips electricity at 97 MPGe. Here's what the EPA numbers actually mean.
Pricing
Starts at $75,150 before destination, across 11 EPA-rated trims. We verify every price by hand against manufacturer and dealer sources — if we can't confirm a number, we leave it blank instead of guessing.
Range and efficiency
EPA-tested at 364 miles of range and 97 MPGe combined. That's the lab number every car takes, so it's the fairest comparison there is. In the real world, knock off 10–20% for highway speed and cold weather. Cheaper trims with smaller wheels actually go farther — the lineup stretches from 279 to 364 miles.
Charging and fuel cost
At the U.S. average of $0.17 per kWh, 12,000 miles a year costs about $708 in electricity — roughly $59 a month. That's the whole fuel story; there are no oil changes either. Plug in your own rates in the fuel cost calculator.
Fast charging
On a DC fast charger it peaks at 195 kW (xDrive60/M70 195 kW; base xDrive45 175 kW) — enough to add serious miles in the time it takes to grab coffee. Figures are manufacturer ratings for the best trim; real-world peaks vary with battery temperature and state of charge.
