iX highway range and real-world range
At a steady 120 km/h, we estimate the BMW iX xDrive60 (20-inch wheels) covers about 485 km on a full charge, versus 586 km rated.

iX highway range at 120 km/h
NRCan's tests show the xDrive60 (20-inch wheels) using 5% more energy on the highway than in the city, so highway range is lower the combined rating. NRCan's highway cycle averages well under 100 km/h, so we take its highway figure and reduce it by 15% for 120 km/h. The iX ranks #4 of 30 on this estimate.

iX real-world range
Real-world range depends on speed, temperature, wheels and load. Mixed driving in mild weather usually lands near the rated 586 km. Sustained highway speeds pull it toward the 485 km estimate, and a cold highway trip can drop it further; see the iX winter range. For trip planning, most drivers use between 10% and 80% (charging stops) or 100% (leaving home) of the battery, which is about 359 to 462 km of highway driving.
