Comment

The all-new BMW iX xDrive50 has been officially listed on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) website, showing the range and efficiency numbers for each of three wheel sizes (20", 21", 22").

The EPA Combined range numbers are inline with BMW's announcement (see full report here):

20" wheels (235/60R20 108H XL): 324 miles (521 km)
21" wheels (255/50R21 109H XL): 305 miles (491 km)
22" wheels (275/40R22 107Y): 315 miles (507 km)

New are the MPGe numbers, which indicate that the car will use 392 Wh/mi (244 Wh/km) in the base version (20", 86 MPGe), including charging losses.

All of the versions are equipped with a 111.5 kWh battery (105.2 kWh net usable).

Unfortunately, the EPA's file shows only Combined range and does not include the City and Highway range.

What do you think?

Range and efficiency comparison

If we compare the EPA efficiency of the BMW iX xDrive50 with some of the other models, it turns out that it's not bad - somewhere between the refreshed Model X and Audi e-tron.

Also in terms of EPA range, the iX is pretty good:
