A large electric "PARTNER" BMW IX is preparing to enter the global market.

IX release is organized at the factory in the German Dingolfing, which already stamps pre-seventive samples. If everything goes according to plan, the sales start at the end of this year. Prices are, but so far only for the EU. In Germany, the crossover was asked from 77.3 thousand euros. The initial version of XDrive40 will give up about 320 horsepower and will "make" the first hundred in less than 6 seconds. Batteries are enough of 400 kilometers in the WLTP cycle.
Top modification XDrive50 is the motors with a general return of about 500 "horses" and batteries with a turn of up to 600 kilometers. She also relies a more powerful charger. But considering that the battery capacity here is more, for a complete charge from the "fast" terminal with a capacity of 150 kW, the car will spend about an hour - like the "younger" version. Question price - 98 thousand euros.
Dimensions of the novelties are comparable to the BMW X5 - here is 4.9 meters from the nose to the tail. Body panels are made of aluminum and carbon fiber. Five sedlons are included in the salon, and materials from recycling predominate in his finish.

For surcharge, the climatic installation will regulate the "weather" in four zones, and the hearing of Melomanan will dwell with the Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound audio system with three tens of speakers and 4D Audio technology.
In addition, there are several steep optional packages. So, the Clear & Bold kit provides a finish with natural wood and "crystal" cut control panels. And for the surcharge, buyers are offered a panoramic roof with an electrochromic dimming, which is the largest among BMW. The release of the model in Russia is scheduled for 2022.
