BMW Prepares U.S. Exit for iX While Neue Klasse Models Move Closer

After four model years, the German-based BMW carmaker is pulling the iX off, as the company declared that the model in question saw a decline in demand; however, its electric lineup is being reshaped around Neue Klasse products.

The strongest year for the iX in the United States now sits in the past. BMW delivered 17,301 units during its first full year on sale. Then the numbers moved downward. In 2024, volume fell to 15,383 vehicles. In 2025, registrations reached 12,587, a drop of 18.2% compared with the prior year. Early 2026 added another weak quarter, with only 1,788 buyers recorded through the first three months.

BMW confirmed the model will lose U.S. allocation. A company spokesperson described the move as part of future preparation, stating the change comes “as part of this progression, as we prepare for the next generation of our fully electric vehicles,” while keeping the company’s position on electrification unchanged for the American market.

Orders remain open for now, though only until summer. After order books close, dealers will continue selling available stock already in inventory. Outside the U.S., the crossover stays in production and remains available in other regions.

The current entry point in America starts with the xDrive45. Price begins at $75,150. Two electric motors supply 402 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque through an all-wheel drive setup. BMW lists 0 to 60 mph in 4.9 seconds, with the equivalent source figure shown as 0 to 97 kph. The range sits between 279 and 312 miles. Energy comes from a 94.8 kWh usable lithium-ion battery pack.

One step higher, the xDrive60 starts at $88,500. Output rises to 536 horsepower. We are talking about improved acceleration of 4.4 seconds from 0 to 60 mph, while the mile range stands between 318 and 354 miles on a single charge.

On the other hand, the top-of-the-line iX M70 comes with 650 horsepower; BMW states that this particular version is capable of sprinting from 0 to 60 mph in around 3.6 seconds. This raises the price to $111,150.

Another internal detail explains why the iX lost ground. Within BMW’s electric range, the BMW i4 sold 20,114 units last year and finished as the brand’s top EV in the U.S., out of 42,484 total electric deliveries.

The iX arrived with strong early attention. Sales then narrowed year after year, and BMW now appears ready to hand its space to the next generation already waiting in line.
