The iX is the electric SUV for those who crave futurism with a dash of controversy.
Velvety ride quality · Exquisite interior design
Polarizing exterior styling · Odd-shaped steering wheel
The 2026 BMW iX is a bold statement in the electric SUV market, blending cutting-edge technology with a polarizing design that demands attention. What really sets it apart is its velvety ride quality and an interior that feels more like a spaceship than a car, filled with daring design choices that make you feel like you're living in the future. However, the styling isn't for everyone, and the lack of physical buttons can be frustrating when you're trying to adjust settings on the fly. This is the SUV for those who want to make a statement and don't mind standing out in a crowd. If you can get past the aesthetics, it delivers an exhilarating driving experience wrapped in luxury.
Our pick: xDrive60 ($89,675)
vs. 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV: The iX offers a more engaging driving experience with its superior acceleration and futuristic interior, but the EQS SUV wins on traditional luxury and elegance.
