The updated BMW iX has arrived in Singapore, bringing increased power and a longer driving range, along with subtle styling updates to the German luxury electric SUV. Unveiled at an event in New Bahru on June 5, the new iX maintains a similar exterior appearance to the previous model but includes a few tweaks to set it apart. Notably, the headlights now feature diagonal LED elements instead of the earlier horizontal design. The grille has also been redesigned with diagonal lines replacing the former diamond and triangle pattern, and it now includes the BMW Iconic Grille lighting as a standard feature.

For the first time in Singapore, BMW is offering the iX with an M Sport trim, which adds gloss black front air intakes, 21-inch M Sport wheels, and vertical reflectors on the lower rear bumper. The standard Sport trim remains available and highlights more body-colored accents, such as on the lower front bumper, for a cleaner look.

The biggest upgrades, however, are under the hood. The sole available drivetrain is now the xDrive45, replacing the previous xDrive40. This change brings a power boost to 402 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, up from 322 horsepower and 630 Nm. Consequently, the iX accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds—an entire second faster than before.

The battery has also been redesigned, increasing its capacity to 94.8 kWh from 71 kWh. This improvement allows the BMW iX xDrive45 to achieve a range of 602 km, a 40% increase compared to the previous model’s 425 km. Pricing for the updated BMW iX xDrive45 starts at $451,888 with COE (June 2025) for the Sport variant, while the M Sport version is priced at $473,888, inclusive of COE.
