The BMW IX has received a fairly significant facelifting, and the first BMW IX M70 XDRIVE is located at the top of the line -up and replaces the previous IX M60. While our complete driving impressions remain under the embargo for a few weeks, we can share exclusive images of the updated electrical SUV and show its new styling inside out.
Distinctive M performance design
While the design remains subjective, BMW has worked to ensure that the IX M70 stands out from the rest of the IX installation. The M -Performance model has a unique kidney grille with vertical bars, a m -badge and more dynamic styling information. Standard on the M70 are exclusive 22-inch alloy wheels, while even larger 23-inch wheels are available as an option.
For those who are looking for an even more courageous presence, BMW offers the M Sport Professional Package in the entire IX area, which includes dark M shadow lines and tag lights. However, the IX M70 is equipped with these elements standard and further differs with an M logo, black exterior mirror caps and its own exclusive M lighting wheels.
Significantly improved seats
Perhaps the most impressive upgrade in the 2026 BMW IX are the newly designed seats. In previous models, the seat bases were neglected for larger drivers and offer minimal thigh support. BMW has addressed this complaint with the new seats that offer improved support for the increase and more extensive adaptation options, including the backrest width and lumbar support.
The standard seats of the IX M70 have a combination of Atlas Gray/Black Mikrofiber and Sensatec padding with M-specific stitches and the Signature BMW M Tri-Color accents. The optional upgrades include Amido Natural Leather or Castanea Natural Leather for those who are looking for a more luxurious feeling.
Premium interior and M-specific improvements
BMW entered the IX M70 and infused the cabin exclusive M elements. The standard features include an M leather steering wheel, a two-colored instrument plate with the M logo, the dark silver cladding, an anthracite headliner and black accents with a high gloss on the center console. The M70 is the only model in the line -up that receives a round steering wheel with a striking red 12 clock marker.
