BMW originally announced that it would participate in the CES Consumer Electronics Exhibition in the United States, but in response to the severe epidemic situation in the United States, it will hold an online event at 8 pm in Germany on January 5. Before the online release, the previously announced iX performance flagship M60 model has officially debuted, which also uses a lithium battery pack with a total capacity of 111.5kWh, with front and rear dual motors, but the maximum horsepower is higher than the 523 horses of xDrive50, to the spectrum of 619 horses, which can accelerate in 3.8 seconds to break through 100, the maximum mileage is slightly reduced to 566 kilometers, the new car is expected to be listed globally in June 2022, the domestic market import opportunity is not small, and will be introduced in the second half of 2022.
Bmw iX first unveiled in November 2020, and when the iX details were announced in June 2021, it was announced through silhouettes that the high-performance iX M60 model would be released in 2022, when it not only revealed that it would be BMW's first high-performance electric SUV with the M performance badge, but also revealed that its maximum power can reach 440 kW / 600 horsepower, DC DC fast charge peak of up to 200kW, and power consumption of 21.6kWh/100km.
Maximum horsepower 619 hp, 3.8 seconds acceleration to break 100, range 566 km/ h
However, now when BMW changed to online participation in the 2022 CES exhibition in the United States, the details of the iX M60 were officially announced. The iX M60 is powered by dual motors in front and rear, and is equipped with a total capacity of 111.5kWh (usable battery capacity of 105.2kWh), and the power data is slightly different from the previous preview.
The iX M60 officially announced a combined maximum power of 455 kW, a maximum horsepower conversion of 619 hp, and a maximum torque of 1100 N.m. However, the maximum 455kW/619pilt data can last up to 10 seconds, and the output power is generally 397kW/540pix; in addition, its maximum torque of 1100N.m is the output after the Sport Mode Sport mode with the Launch Control ejection start function, and the maximum torque in the general Sport Mode Sport mode is 1015N.m.
In terms of performance and range, the iX M60 can accelerate from stationary to 100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, which is 0.8 seconds faster than the iX xDrive50's 4.6 seconds, and the vehicle's maximum speed is 250 km/h, which is also 50 km/h higher than the iX xDrive50's 200 km/h, which is more suitable for the needs of the German Autobahn Unlimited Speed Section. In terms of mileage, although it is also equipped with a total capacity of 111.5kWh lithium battery pack, because the iX M60 has better power performance, the WLTP range has dropped from 549 to 630 kilometers of the iX xDrive50 to 499 to 566 kilometers.
The original manufacturer also announced its respective output power of the front and rear axle motors, which can output up to 360kW/489 hp with a power output ratio of 2.59 kW/kg to the rear axle motor, while the maximum output of the front axle motor can reach 190 kW/258 hp and the rear axle motor weight ratio is 1.96 kW/kg. BMW's original factory emphasizes its own 5th-generation eDrive electronic excited synchronous motor (Electrically Excited Synchronous Motor), which has a high energy conversion efficiency of up to 93%, while the electricity consumption of 100 kilometers falls at 24.7 to 21.6kWh/100km, which is equivalent to 4.04~4.62km/kWh (about 4 km per kWh).
The charging power part, equipped with the iX M60 of the CONBINED Charging Unit, supports the maximum AC charging power of 11kW; the maximum peak power of DC DC power comes to the same 200kW as the xDrive50, which can be charged from 10% to 80% at the earliest 35 minutes, and when the battery is 10%, it can be charged for 10 minutes to get up to 150 km of battery life.
In the chassis setting part of the iX M60 also has a special enhancement, in addition to maintaining the same front axle dual A-arm, rear axle five-link layout, and equipped with Servotronic speed sensing steering and active variable proportional steering assistance, BMW M also specially for the iX M60 standard M exclusive front and rear axle electronic control air pressure suspension, rear axle also uses exclusive anti-roll bar setting, in addition to the car can control the multi-segment ground height on the central control screen, the system will also analyze acceleration, speed, The turning range precisely controls the optimal chassis support dynamics within a few milliseconds, and the driver can adjust the softness and hardness of the shock in the my Modes settings in the car. The M60 is also equipped with an electronic limited slip differential function, which emphasizes that its control is 10 times faster than previous DSC systems, allowing the motor and wheels to be controlled to the best possible state during rapid acceleration, creating the best acceleration performance.
In addition, the iX M60 is directly equipped with Intergral Active Steering integrated active steering, the so-called rear axle steering function, which allows the rear wheels to be steered at an angle of up to 3.2 degrees, making the high-speed switching dynamic more stable and providing a shorter radius of rotation. The iX M60 also comes standard with 21-inch aerodynamic rims under the foot, as well as the M60's exclusive high-performance tires, which are complemented by an exclusive sporty braking system for excellent braking performance.
The iX M60 also has a number of exclusive performance accents inside and out of the body, in addition to the standard sporty look kit, the sporty brake system under the foot also features M blue brake calipers. Most of the trim strips in the exterior are also treated with the BMW Individual Titanium Bronze bronze kit, the most obvious differences being the "M" of the front fender and the "M60" emblem at the rear of the car, and the emblem in these two places is also presented with a unique copper-colored border and black base.
The iX M60 is also directly standard with many high-end equipment, with a BMW Laser Laser headlamp that provides illumination up to 650 meters away. The interior of the car maintains the iDrive 8.0 system, equipped with a 12.3-inch virtual digital meter, 14.9-inch central touch screen combined with an integrated floating curved screen, providing BMW virtual digital cockpit and natural voice control function, compared to the rest of the model, the instrument screen will display the M Logo, but also directly standard with dual front seat ventilation heated seats, and the 1,615-watt B&W immersive 4D top sound system with up to 30 speakers included in the headrests, etc. The M60 also comes standard with BMW's IconicSounds Electric all-electric sound, which delivers M60-specific performance sound in Sport Mode. BMW has also reserved the possibility for the iX M60 to upgrade its software to Level 3 Level 3 Autonomous Driving Assist in the future.
At present, BMW original factory said that the iX M60 will be listed worldwide in June 2022, and the domestic market will be introduced as soon as the second half of 2022.
