Expert Pick #01

BMW iX M70.

Effortless performance meets premium luxury — 650 hp, up to 303-mile EPA range, and BMW's finest interior.

The Verdict.

9.0/ 10

Gavler Meta-Score

The iX M70 is BMW's answer to a question no one asked but everyone wanted answered: can an electric SUV be both fast and genuinely luxurious? The answer is an emphatic yes. The interior quality surpasses anything in BMW's combustion lineup, the ride comfort is extraordinary, and when you want performance, 650 hp is more than enough. It's not a driver's car like the Taycan — it's a first-class lounge that happens to be startlingly fast.
