The BMW iX5 60 xDrive alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The BMW iX5 60 xDrive delivers a maximum power of 425 kW (578 hp / 570 bhp) and a total torque of 800 Nm (590 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 220 km/h (137 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 147.8 kWh and a net usable capacity of 141.0 kWh, with a 6.8 kWh buffer (4.6%) for battery protection. It operates at a nominal voltage of 800 volts. The high voltage supports faster DC charging.
This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 645 to 845 km (401-525 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range.
The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 21.9 kWh/100 km for the base model and 16.7 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 460 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 92 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 24 minutes with an average charging speed of 243 kW.
Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 3% to 53%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 257 kW, with each charging session taking about 16 minutes and 27 seconds.
This places the BMW iX5 60 xDrive among the fastest-charging EVs available.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 8 hours and 38 minutes, needing one charging stops from 1% to 58%, totaling 19 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports up to 22 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full 0–100% charge in about 6 hours and 24 minutes with a standard home setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
The connector types vary between different markets. This model uses NACS for North America and CCS Combo 2 for Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Bidirectional Charging
This model supports both V2L (Vehicle to Load) and V2H (Vehicle to Home) functionalities. V2L allows you to power electrical equipment requiring up to 3.7 kW of power, and even charge other electric vehicles. V2H enables the car to serve as a backup power source for your home.
Note that V2H requires specialized equipment in your home.
Drivetrain
The BMW iX5 60 xDrive features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle.
The motors used are Induction Motors.
Suspension
The suspension system features a double wishbone front construction and a five-link rear construction. Both the front and rear dampers are electronically controlled, providing adaptive damping for improved ride comfort and handling. The front and rear springs are coil springs, offering a balance of comfort and performance.
The Standard suspension has steel springs with a fixed height, but you can adjust damping to fit your driving style or road condition.
Ground clearance with this setup is 199 mm.
