BMW iX all-electric SUV has received the highest 5-star safety rating from the Euro NCAP. It performed incredibly well in adult occupant protection as well as child safety. The all-electric BMW iX will be launched in the Indian market on December 13, 2021. Being the German luxury brand's first all-electric offering in the SUV segment in India, it is expected to have a sticker price of Rs 1 Crore (Ex. Showroom). The iX SUV will rival Audi e-tron, Mercedes Benz EQC and Jaguar I-PACE in the country.


Euro NCAP highlighted the effectiveness of the new interactive airbag between the driver and front passenger seats in BMW iX, which provides additional protection against injury in the event of a side collision. Child safety in the rear of the SUV also received the highest possible score for both frontal and side collisions. It is based on an aluminium spaceframe concept with a carbon cage for the passenger compartment. The roof, side and rear section of the iX use torsion-resistant components made of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP). Furthermore, BMW iX boasts of an active bonnet which is raised by means of a pyrotechnical triggering mechanism as soon as the data collected by sensors indicate a corresponding collision.


Other standard safety features in the SUV include attention assistant, lane departure warning and speed limit recognition. Also, the Driving Assistant Professional package is offered as an option which also includes steering and lane guidance assistance. “The BMW iX sets new standards in sustainability, and its top rating of five stars in the Euro NCAP underlines the vehicle’s comprehensive sustainability concept. The extremely stable body structure and the extended range of restraint systems ensure an outstanding level of occupant protection. In addition, the BMW iX scores highly both in the test programme and in everyday driving with innovative driver assistance systems that significantly reduce the risk of accidents in a wide array of situations,” says Dominik Schuster, Head of Vehicle Safety BMW.
