BMW iX6, iX7, iX8, iX9 Set To Join The Electric SUV Family

Even though Rolls-Royce is owned by BMW itself, our guess is that the iX9 will be positioned as the ultimate BMW SUV with a sky-high price, unrivaled comfort, and a silken ride. It will be less sporty than smaller iX models, and the back seats will come with all of BMW’s toys, including the theater screen that debuted on the new 7 Series. Rolls-Royce itself is also transitioning to electric models soon, so the iX9 could have a lot in common with a future Cullinan EV.

We expect all these electric SUVs to adopt BMW’s EV design touches like blue detailing for the exterior and badging, along with unique instrumentation graphics.

There is no telling when an iX8 or iX9 may arrive, but don’t expect to see them before the smaller models discussed above. By then, hopefully BMW has found a way to make electrified SUVs lighter – the new XM PHEV weighs over 6,000 pounds.
