BMW iX

BMW's flagship electric SUV divided opinions with its massive kidney grille but united them with driving dynamics. The iX xDrive50 delivers 516 horsepower and 300+ miles of range — a concrete data point that beats the #3 Ioniq 5 in luxury power. Its cabin includes FSC-certified wood and recycled ocean plastic, with iDrive 8 infotainment, arguably the most luxurious in any EV. At $87,000, it’s 50% more expensive than the average EV, but it proved BMW could build an EV worthy of the Ultimate Driving Machine badge.
