BMW recently unveiled the new pure electric Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) New iX for the first time. SAV is BMW’s term for SUV.

The New iX is distinguished by enhanced driving performance and power efficiency, thanks to a more sophisticated electric drive system and component optimization. A new design was applied inside and out to improve the dynamic appearance.
