For example, the U.S. market doesn&#8217;t include the iX xDrive40 in their 2022 plans, so for now, we will only get the middle model &#8211; iX 50 &#8211; and the upcoming <a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/12\/13\/bmw-ix-m60-2022-ces-debut\/\">iX M60<\/a> tuned by the M division.<\/p>\n<p>According to a new report, the BMW iX xDrive40 is not scheduled for the North American market next year, but plans could change in the future. BMW refrained from explaining the reasons behind this decision. Of course, this doesn&#8217;t take away from the merits of the iX xDrive40. The BMW iX xDrive40 uses a smaller battery compared to the iX 50i: 76.6 kWh battery (71.0 kWh net usable) vs. 111.5 kWh.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/2021\/07\/03\/bmw-ix-showcased-in-a-new-color-phytonic-blue\/bmw_ix_test_drive_28\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-8594\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-8594\" src=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bmw_ix_test_drive_28-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bmw_ix_test_drive_28-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bmw_ix_test_drive_28-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bmw_ix_test_drive_28-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/evglobe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/bmw_ix_test_drive_28-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The WLTP range rating is around 260 miles (418 km). There is no EPA rating on it, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/12\/23\/bmw-ix-xdrive50-epa-rating\/\">but there is one for the iX xDrive50<\/a>: 305 to 324 miles, depending on the tire choice. So for many customers, that range is the sweet spot. The least powerful version in the iX range gets by with a total power output of up to 322 HP and 465 lb-ft of torque, coming from two electric motors (one for each axle). With this setup, the heavy EV SUV can still go pretty fast in a hurry, the 0-62 mph sprint requiring just 6.1 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>If it were to come to the United States, the BMW iX xDrive40 would be priced accordingly to the market, and to the iX lineup. The MSRP for the iX 50 starts at 83,200 plus $995 Destination, so the entry-level iX could certainly be sold in the $70,000 range. For comparison, the highly popular X5 xDrive45 plug-in hybrid starts at $63,700. The Audi e-tron does 222 miles on electric power and is priced at $67,000.<\/p>\n<p>The entry-level market for electric crossover is expected to grow in the next few years, so it&#8217;s fair to assume that BMW of North America could revisit their plans to bring the more affordable EV SUV to their market. For many urban drivers, the BMW iX xDrive40 would still deliver plenty of electric range while providing an SUV-like experience and an all-wheel drive component. And if the charging infrastructure is well developed around you, or if you can charge at home, then the overall range becomes less important.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The entry-level iX crossover BMW iX xDrive40 was introduced to the public alongside the iX xDrive50, but its roll-out will vary market-by-market.
