BMW has just unveiled the 2025 iX facelift electric SUV for markets around the world. The German automaker has made several updates to the EV, including new variants and battery options. The current iX model available in India is set to be replaced by this refreshed version later this year, following its launch in Europe and the US.

The revamped BMW iX will compete with heavyweights like the Mercedes-Benz EQS, Audi e-tron, Jaguar iPace, and Tesla Model X in the global arena. In India, the iX was the top-selling luxury EV in 2023 until it was surpassed by the BMW i7. It holds the title of the priciest BMW electric SUV, retailing at ₹1.39 crore (ex-showroom). Positioned above the entry-level iX1, it’s part of BMW's expanding EV lineup, which also features models like the i4 and i5.
