    Meanwhile, the BMW i4 saloon is positioned as the brand’s first electric vehicle focused on driving dynamics. The carmaker says the i4 combines BMW’s sporting prowess, practicality of a four-door Gran Coupé and a range that will convince owners to take it on long journeys. Image Credit: Supplied

    The BMW iX will be launched with a choice of two model variants. Both are equipped with an electric all-wheel-drive system, with combined output of 523 hp in the iX xDrive50 and 326 hp in the iX xDrive40. Image Credit: Supplied

    The WLTP-calculated ranges of the iX variants are up to 630 kilometres in the iX xDrive50 and up to 425 kilometres in the iX xDrive40. Also set to join the model line-up at a later date is the iX M60 with a maximum output in excess of 600 hp. Image Credit: Supplied

    The standard chassis technology for the BMW iX comprises a double-wishbone front axle, five-link rear axle, lift-related dampers and an electric steering system with Servotronic function and a variable ratio. Two-axle air suspension with electronically controlled dampers, Integral Active Steering and Sport brakes are on the options list. Image Credit: Supplied

    The i4 is underpinned by a flexible vehicle architecture developed from the outset for a purely electric drive system. It gets a long wheelbase and wide tracks, weight-minimised yet extremely stiff body structure, model-specific torsion struts, aluminium shear panel and front axle subframe that has fixed connection with the casing of the high-voltage battery.
