2022 BMW iX 0 – 60 | Exceeding Expectations

In 1972, when BMW debuted its first concept electric vehicle at the Olympic Games in Munich, the vehicle undoubtedly impressed and awed folks that got a first-hand look at it. A whole generation of people who only knew cars to be these loud, clunky, gas-guzzling things, now had a vague idea of what the modern automobile could, and would, eventually evolve into. Unfortunately, the cost to manufacture this vehicle outweighed potential profit, and the 1602e, as it was known, never saw the streets of Jericho. 

Now, half a lifetime later, BMW is well into production of it’s increasingly popular line of electric vehicles (EVs), including a veritable star-child of the lineup, the all-new 2022 BMW iX Crossover—what BMW calls its “Sports Activity Vehicle.” How does the iX compare to its 50-year-old predecessor? What’s the BMW iX zero to 60 time? Learn these answers and more when you read the material below! Be sure to contact Rallye BMW in Westbury if you have any questions!

2022 BMW iX 0 – 60 Time | Performance Specs

It’s not truly a fair comparison, talking about that old, steel-bodied EV from the early seventies. But you have to admit, it is fun talking about just how far EV technology has come. Batteries are lighter, more efficient, and find themselves in incredibly meticulously engineered vehicles, meant to be as light and aerodynamic as possible. These advancements in BMW technology and design mean that the 2022 BMW iX is able to achieve some impressive performance figures – ones that the folks in Munich couldn’t have imagined back in ‘72—especially for a vehicle almost twice the size of that early-seventies concept car. Just for the fun of it, here’s a direct comparison between the 1972 BMW 1602e, and the all new 2022 BMW iX EV performance specs, including the 2022 BMW iX 0 to 60 time:
