All-Wheel Drive
Acceleration
Heated Front Seats
When you check out what’s under the hoods of the BMW iX and the Tesla Model Y, you’ll find impressive dual electric motors. These powertrains help digitally control torque and improve handling in each vehicle.
Both SUVs also come standard with all-wheel drive. This will provide exceptional control as you brave those slick streets in inclement weather. Plus, if you decide to explore the great outdoors, either SUV can easily tackle the uneven terrain you might come across.
When it comes to overall performance, though, the BMW iX shines. While the Tesla Model Y is notorious for its hair-raising acceleration, the BMW iX beats the competition. On its standard trim, the iX can power up from 0 to 60 MPH in just 4.4 seconds. The Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD offers a 4.8-second acceleration time from 0 to 60 MPH.
Even when driving the BMW iX M60 or the Tesla Model Y Performance, there is only a slight difference between their acceleration times. You can go from 0 to 60 MPH in 3.6 seconds in the BMW and 3.5 seconds in the Tesla.
The design maxim of “less is more” is demonstrated in the most exquisite interiors of the BMW iX and the Tesla Model Y. The dashboard in each vehicle is a seamless wave of quiet design and material luxury.
In the BMW, you’ll marvel at the gold bronze trim accents that complement the luscious upholstery. Seating fabric choices include standard perforated SensaTec, which is durable and helps keep you cool. You can also upgrade to a quilted olive-leaf tanned leather in Amido or Castanea Chestnut.
The Tesla falls a few notches below on the luxury scale. It simply offers standard vegan leather upholstery. While your choice lies in the seating material you prefer, you can enjoy some sun inside the cabin with the Tesla’s panoramic glass roof or the BMW’s Eclipsing Sky Lounge roof.
In both the BMW iX and the Tesla Model Y, you’ll find an exciting assortment of infotainment features. Both come standard with a generous touchscreen for accessing all of your apps and information. However, the BMW’s Curved Display touchscreen offers a bit more aesthetic appeal.
The Tesla comes standard with Bluetooth® and 13 speakers. Its subwoofer will amplify the sound and offer an enjoyable listening experience.
However, it’s inside the BMW where you’ll get the utmost in entertainment. It has standard Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™ compatibility along with SiriusXM® with 360L. Enjoy all this through the standard HiFi Sound System with a 205-watt digital amplifier and 12 speakers.
However, for a more immersive experience, you can upgrade to the BMW iX M60 and experience the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System. This premium 30-speaker system—only available on the BMW—can amplify your tunes, audiobook, or podcast with up to 28 channels, so you can hear every detail.
At BMW of Albany, we’re certain that this comparison between the BMW iX vs. Tesla Model Y reveals the BMW to be the total package. However, you’ll have to make the ultimate choice of which one will better complement your lifestyle around Albany, Leesburg, and Tifton.
