Ever since the BMW iX debuted, it's been causing a stir among electric luxury vehicle enthusiasts. This standout model has turned the heads of many -- including those who were initially enamored by upstarts like Rivian and Tesla. Compare the BMW iX vs. Tesla Model Y and Rivian R1S side by side and you'll quickly see why BMW continues to remain the leader among luxury electric SUV manufacturers.
Read on to learn the many reasons why the new BWW iX is making waves throughout the industry, then reach out to our BMW dealership near Bartlett to schedule a test-drive.


BMW iX Specs Comparison
The new BMW iX xDrive50 is powered by dual all-electric motors that produce 516 horsepower and offer up to 324 miles of all-electric range, allowing you to travel far and wide with confidence. This potent performance allows you to accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds -- a figure that outdoes comparable Tesla Model Y and Rivian R1S trims. And when you upgrade trims to a new iX M60 in Memphis, you'll enjoy even greater performance at your disposal.
What's more, each new BMW iX for sale near Bartlett comes with BMW Ultimate Care, a 3-year/36,000-mile complimentary maintenance plan.1 You won't receive this same after-purchase care when you buy a Tesla or Rivian.

BMW iX Interior Comparison
When it comes to luxury, the BMW iX interior can't be matched. Relax into available quilted olive-leaf tanned leather seats as the standard 12-speaker HiFi Sound System turns your cabin into your own private concert arena. Meanwhile, the advanced Live Cockpit Plus infotainment system will keep you connected and informed through every drive.
The Tesla Model Y fails to deliver this same level of luxury and connectivity, and the Rivian SUV also falls short. It's no wonder, then, that drivers continue to turn to BMW when they want an SUV that's indulgent, luxurious and built to last.
