The BMW iX gets a free-of-cost wallbox charger (can be used at home) that supports charging of up to 11kW. The carmaker plans to install fast chargers at its dealerships across 35 cities in India.

Now, to the design. The electric SUV has a massive grille flanked by slim LED headlights with Matrix and Laser light tech, 22-inch alloy wheels, flush fitting door handles, and frameless doors. The iX’s taillights mimic the headlights, but otherwise, the rear has a rather minimalistic look.

BMW is offering the EV in five exterior shades: Mineral White, Phytonic Blue, Black Sapphire, Sophisto Grey, and Aventurine Red (optional).

Inside, the iX gets a hexagonal steering wheel, leather upholstery, and powered seats with massage function. Other features include an electrochromic panoramic glass roof, a 12.3-inch digital driver’s display, a 14.9-inch touchscreen system with BMW’s latest iDrive 8 infotainment software and digital AI assistant, and ambient lighting, a wireless phone charger, a head-up display, and 18-speaker Harman Kardon audio.
