iNext

Two years ago, BMW rolled the Vision iNext out as a wheeled laboratory of next-gen autonomous and HMI technology. Today, the iNext turns into the iX, a big step toward a production 300-mile (483-km) electric SUV on its way to market next year.

​​BMW has big plans for the iNext, but first it will need to make sure the vehicle’s basic architecture is up to scratch, something it is now investigating through some rigorous cold-weather test driving in Swedish lapland. ​
