The world of luxury electric SUVs is vibrant and ever-changing, with new models appearing almost every month. Established rivals include the Audi Q8 e-tron starting in the mid-70s, the Mercedes-EQ EQE SUV from about $78K, the Tesla Model X (in the high 90s) and the Cadillac Lyriq (in the $60K region). The Rivian R1S starts in the high-0s. Also keep an eye out for the Lucid Gravity and Polestar 3.

Range, Charging and Performance
BMW says the 2024 iX will return up to 307 miles from a full charge, achieved by the xDrive50 version. The M60’s best figure is 296 miles, which is still pretty good.
For comparison, the Q8 e-tron can run for 285 miles, the EQE SUV for 279 miles, the Model X for 333 miles, and the Lyriq for 308 miles. Rivian says its R1S in standard form is capable of 260 miles, with an optional large battery pack providing 340 miles.
Most home charging setups are best used for overnight sessions. For example, a full replenishment of the iX’s battery requires about 10.25 hours. It’s the DC fast-charging metric that’s more crucial, since that’s when drivers of electric vehicles are on the move.
In this scenario, the iX only needs 35 minutes to go from 10 percent capacity to 80 percent capacity. The EQE, Q8 e-tron and Model X also take about half an hour to reach that 80 percent point.
Taking that “on the move” idea in a different direction, electric motors can be powerful and have the ability to deliver that power almost like flicking a switch. This translates to electric vehicles having brisk acceleration times, usually measured in the sprint from standstill to 60 mph. In the xDrive50, this happens in just 4.4 seconds. Naturally, the more powerful iX M60 is quicker: 3.6 seconds. The Q8 e-tron is still respectable at 5.4 seconds, the most powerful version of the EQE (the 500 4Matic) matches the xDrive50. The slowest R1S actually shaves a tenth off that time, while the slowest Model X can still run it in an impressive 3.8 seconds. The Cadillac Lyriq is closer to six seconds.
What’s New for 2024
The hands-free/feet-free (but still eyes-engaged) Highway Assistant partial self-driving feature is added to the optional Driving Assistance Professional package. The Parking Assistant Professional option is enhanced with Remote Control Parking and Maneuver Assistant functions able to be controlled outside the vehicle with an iPhone using the My BMW app. And upgraded predictive heat management technology means being able to pre-heat the battery before connecting to a DC fast charger, maximizing the rate of charge.
