BMW iX
The new BMW iX is an electric midsize luxury SAV with plenty of get-up-and-go for passing on the highway in Gurnee, IL. Its 111-kWh battery and two electric motors combine to generate a whopping, 516 horsepower in xDrive50 models and 610 horsepower in M60 models. When properly equipped, it can bolt from 0 to 60 mph in less than four seconds. The iX also handles like a dream, with quick steering and a stout regenerative braking system. It doesn't need to be recharged too frequently either, with a 324-mile driving range on a full charge in properly configured models.
Inside, the new BMW iX is elegant and refined, with sleek bronze accents, open-pore wood trim and an available crystalline iDrive controller. A hexagonal steering wheel and several lively color combinations add to its premium appeal. Synthetic leather seats come standard in the iX, but cloth, leather, or wool upholstery are available. Lake Forest, IL drivers who carry a lot of shopping bags or suitcases in their SAV will appreciate that it has 77.9 cubic feet of cargo space with the back seats folded.
