BMW’s Electric Crossover Flagship: The Upcoming iX7

The BMW iX7 has been spotted with a less disguised design, revealing a front end that closely resembles the updated i7. The model is expected to have a 141 kWh battery and around 570 HP.

The iX7 will follow in the footsteps of the new iX5, but with a design that mirrors the facelifted i7, featuring a prominent twin kidney grille, split lighting units, and minimalist daytime running lights.

The crossover will also have a nearly full-width screen at the base of the windshield, a 17.9-inch infotainment system, and an available 14.6-inch front passenger display.

Powertrain details are not fully disclosed, but the iX5 60 xDrive provides a good indication of what to expect, with a dual-motor all-wheel drive system developing 570 HP and 594 lb-ft of torque.

The iX7 is expected to accelerate from 0-62 mph in 4.6 seconds, have a limited top speed of 130 mph, and an estimated EPA range of 435 miles.

The crossover will also have a 460 kW DC fast charging capability, allowing the battery to charge from 10-80% in as little as 23 minutes.

The iX7 will be joined by the redesigned X7 in 2027, which will offer a range of engines and more powerful electric variants.
