Design and Style

There aren’t many cosmetic changes to the new iX, but there are some key differences. The elongated kidney grille features a new design with horizontally opposed diagonal lines; BMW will also offer its iconic Glow Illumination technology for the grille as an optional extra.

The front bumper features a large air dam in the centre and thin vertical air intakes at either end.

The headlights also feature a new diagonal LED signature reminiscent of the M4 CS.

Profile changes are mild, most notable being silver inserts on the skirts and a new design for the 20-inch alloy wheels.

BMW will offer 21- and 22-inch wheels as an option with the M Sport package, and the iX M70 can also be optioned with 23-inch wheels.

Coming to the rear, the only noticeable update is a new bumper with an integrated diffuser.
