BMW iX

Engine power and kerb weight are registration-weighted averages of the BMW iX registered in the EU/EEA in 2025 (31,744 cars), engine power from 25 countries, kerb weight from 28 countries. Source: EEA CO₂ monitoring (CC BY 4.0).

Engine power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep). For hybrids and plug-in hybrids it is the power of the combustion engine, not the system power, and for electric cars it can differ from the peak power the manufacturer advertises.

Power by engine variant (Norway)

5,165 BMW iX cars registered for the first time in Norway in 2023–2025, by drivetrain and type-approved engine power. The EEA data has no trim names, so variants are told apart by power.

Plus 1 variant with fewer than 10 cars (3 cars in total).

Power is the type-approved engine power (EEA field Ep).

WLTP range by version

Type-approved WLTP range of the electric versions of the BMW iX, as recorded for each car in the Dutch vehicle register (RDW). The table shows the median; the spread is where 80% of the cars fall.

WLTP is the test cycle of EU type approval, so the same version carries the same figure across the EU/EEA. Power is the net maximum electric power from the same register. Versions with fewer than 20 cars are left out. Source: Open Data RDW (Netherlands, CC0).
