2024 BMW iX vs.Tesla Model X

Thanks to reduced prices, tax incentives, and expanding charging infrastructure, electric vehicles are becoming a viable option for more Los Angeles drivers. But, choosing an EV doesn’t mean sacrificing performance and premium amenities for efficiency– when you choose the 2024 BMW iX or the 2023 Tesla Model X, you’ll find the interiors brimming with cutting-edge technology and the electric powertrains providing thrilling rides around Hollywood. So, which EV SUV should you choose for your daily drives? Find out in Pacific BMW’s BMW iX vs. Tesla Model X comparison below!

BMW iX vs. Tesla Model X: Range & Charging

One of the most important factors in any EV purchase is range. When you purchase a new EV, you want to ensure that the model you choose has the all-electric range to handle your daily commutes through Hollywood and your weekend adventures. Whether you choose the BMW iX or Tesla Model X, you’ll find significant range on both the starting trims:

• 2024 BMW iX Maximum Range: 311 miles
• 2023 Tesla Model X Maximum Range: 348 miles

While at first glance it appears the Tesla Model X is the smarter choice, the next consideration for new EV drivers is where they’ll be able to charge up their new electric model. The BMW iX comes standard with a CCS connector, the most common EV charging connector in the country, making it easy to drive long distances and top up at nearly any DC Fast Charger in the United States. The Tesla Model X, on the other hand, is only compatible with the Tesla Supercharger connectors and requires additional equipment to charge at the majority of EV charging stations around Burbank.

BMW iX vs. Tesla Model X: Standard Features

Both the BMW iX and Tesla Model X offer advanced features for your drives through Pasadena, but, much like its restricted charging infrastructure, the Tesla Model X’s interior features are limited in scope and compatibility. See some of the ways the 2024 BMW iX stands out from the Model X below:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™: The 2024 BMW iX seamlessly integrates your smartphone into your infotainment system thanks to standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, allowing you to access your messages, phone calls, and favorite apps hassle-free. The Tesla Model X doesn’t offer either of these smartphone systems, forcing you to connect your phone via Bluetooth instead and severely limiting the features available as you drive. 
• Curved Display: The Tesla Model X provides a large 17-inch touchscreen display, but it doesn’t compare to the driver-focused BMW Curved Display, which features a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch infotainment display. The Curved Display gives you access to all the vital information and entertainment you need for your drive in one intuitive screen. 
• Four-Zone Climate Control: Tesla may have many of the tech features drivers today crave, but BMW’s long history of engineering luxury vehicles shines when it comes to comfort. In addition to standard features such as a heated steering wheel and power-adjustable heated front seats, the 2024 BMW iX interior is equipped with four-zone automatic climate control with preconditioning, allowing you to create the perfect environment for all your passengers with ease.
