More and more, you’re probably seeing a growing number of electric vehicles—EVs—on the streets of Normal and Decatur. Are you ready to make the switch to an all-electric vehicle? If so, it can be difficult to know where to start and what look for when you compare EVs. Why not start with a brand synonymous with EVs, and one of the most trusted, established performance vehicle manufacturers by comparing the 2024 BMW iX vs. Tesla Model X? While both of these all-electric SUVs have some common technology powering your ride, you’ll find that the differences between the 2024 BMW iX vs. Tesla Model X can be pretty stark at times. We think you’ll choose the brand with a legacy of innovation and performance. When you do, start the process of custom ordering your 2024 BMW iX today with BMW of Bloomington.
No matter which EV you drive you can expect lower maintenance and fueling costs. This will help you offset the purchase price of the 2024 BMW iX long before you will with the Tesla. That’s because the BMW iX has a starting MSRP that’s more than $10,000 less than the Tesla:
For that extra $10,000, Urbana drivers expect a bump in capability and features. That’s not the case with the Tesla. While it has a slightly higher battery range than the BMW iX (41 miles), its charging time is the same at the BMW, while the torque—one of an EV’s stand-out features—is significantly lower. This translates into the BMW iX having a 7,200-pound towing capacity while the Tesla only offers 5,000 pounds. The bottom line is, you get more for your money when you choose the all-electric BMW iX.
With either the iX or Model X you’ll get a basic warranty of 4 years/50,000 miles. In addition, the BMW iX also includes BMW Ultimate Care, a maintenance warranty that provides coverage for 3 years/36,000 miles. Your BMW iX battery is covered by an 8-year/100,00-mile High Voltage Battery warranty. The Tesla Model X doesn’t offer a maintenance warranty. It’s also more difficult to get your Tesla serviced or repaired, as there’s only one Tesla dealerships in downstate Illinois. Getting your Tesla repaired in a timely manner might require a trip to the Chicagoland area.
When it’s time to make the change to electric, we’re sure you’ll see the benefits of the 2024 BMW iX from BMW of Bloomington! If you’d like to learn more about this and other BMW vehicles, visit our BMW information hub today.
