BMW will finally unveil their flagship electric vehicle next month. The BMW iNEXT (more on the naming convention below) will first show its exterior design, followed in 2021 by an unveil of the high-tech cabin. The new electric crossover will become BMW\u2019s next technology flagship with a series of innovations.<\/p>\n
The BMW iX will be a crossover that fits between the X3 and X5 in terms of size and therefore will be offered with all-wheel drive. Considering the wheel sizes will go from 20\u2033 to 22\u2033, you can easily picture how tall this car will be. The heavy camo of the early test prototype are now gone revealing a bold front fascia with a two-piece large kidney grille.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n The upright grille sports a mesh design, hiding plenty of radars and sensors behind it. The headlights are slim and sleek, and they’re connected to the kidneys on each side. The bonnet features some spectacular creases which enhance the sportiness of the electric crossover.<\/p>\n The front bumper will also present a typical BMW i aerodynamic approach, that\u2019s set to reduce the drag as much as possible and thus improve the electric range of the model. The iX will feature a typical BMW i C-pillar, that starts to become a recognizable design cue.<\/p>\n The design cues of the rear area are not entirely visible, but the wide-opening tailgate is confirmed, as well as a dynamically curved back end. We have yet to see the definitive shape of the tail lights, but they\u2019ll most likely be similar to the ones on the Vision iNEXT showcar<\/a>, albeit toned down and slightly reinterpreted. Unlike the concept car, the production model has normal mirrors and door handles.<\/p>\n Inside, we expect to see BMW’s best interior design to date. There will be several touchscreens to control the car and display relevant information, as well as plenty of high-tech. The next-gen iDrive 8 is also expected to be part of the package, along with the new 5G technology.<\/p>\n As BMW\u2019s most advanced model you can expect the car to be packed with plenty of semi-autonomous driving features.<\/p>\n2021 BMW iNext battery and range<\/h3>\n
