onverts the hydrogen stored in tanks into electricity, which is sent to a single, 125kW electric motor driving the rear wheels. Unlike a zero-emissions BEV, the iX5 emits water vapour from exhaust ports. It has Eco Pro, Comfort and Sport modes which adjust several settings as you cycle through them, including steering weight, ride firmness and sharper accelerator response, backed by a soundtrack from the BMWi electric soundscapes when in Sport mode.BMW doesn’t mention performance numbers but there is instant brawn that pins occupants back into their seats. It cruises in typical EV silence when you want and the single-speed transfer case has no shifts.
