While the Geneva motor show was cancelled, BMW did reveal its i4 concept car but now there is something more exciting around the corner - the iX.

Formerly known as the iNext concept, the iX will compete against the Mercedes-Benz EQC, Audi E-Tron, Tesla Model Y and Jaguar E-Pace. 

It will feature BMW’s new large front grille and be packed with futuristic tech and level 3 autonomous driving capability.  

The high-density 80kWh battery pack is said to do 640km and be in excess of 400kwh of power producing 0-100 in less than 4 seconds.
