2026 BMW iX Comparison
Ever since the all-electric 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 2026 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!

2026 BMW iX Specs Comparison
The 2026 BMW iX xDrive45 is powered by dual all-electric motors that produce 402 horsepower and offer up to 312 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 4.9 seconds -- a figure that outdoes comparable Tesla Model Y trims. And when you upgrade trims to a new iX xDrive60 or M70 in Memphis, you'll enjoy even greater high-powered 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!

2026 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 Harman Kardon® Surround Sound Audio System turns your cabin into your own private concert arena. Meanwhile, the advanced BMW Operating System 8.5 will keep you connected and informed through every drive.
What's more, you'll find ShyTech seamlessly integrated into the interior and exterior of every new iX for sale near Bartlett. ShyTech incorporates features like an intelligent kidney grille, speakers hidden behind acoustic fabric and touch-sensitive surfaces to elevate your driving experience in a subtle, comprehensive way. 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.
