BMW has announced a comprehensive update to its electric vehicle range for the first half of 2026, with a focus on greater energy efficiency, extended range and new standard and optional content.
The BMW iX1 and iX2 now have improved power electronics. In the iX1 eDrive20, the adoption of inverters with silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors reduces consumption in the WLTP cycle and increases the range by more than 40 kilometers. The same technology will be applied to the iX2 eDrive20, ensuring similar gains.

When charging, the BMW iX3 will receive the optional Professional AC Charging package, which enables AC charging of up to 22 kW and adds the Vehicle-to-Charge (V2L) function, with supply of up to 3.7 kW to external devices.
In terms of range, the iX1 eDrive20 offers up to 461 km of autonomy, while the iX1 xDrive30 reaches 430 km. The iX2 reaches up to 474 km in the front-wheel drive version and up to 449 km in the all-wheel drive configuration.


The iX3 also gains new visual options, with three new exterior colors and the possibility of a BMW Individual steering wheel in the Digital White interior. From March, the Contemporary, BMW M and BMW Individual trims will include a stainless steel load sill, while versions with M Sport and M Sport Pro packages receive a key with details in M stripes.
