2023 BMW iX5 Hydrogen | Paving the way for potential series production

  • last year
After four years of development work, the BMW iX5 Hydrogen vehicle and development project is entering its critical next phase.

The BMW iX5 Hydrogen developed based on the current BMW X5 was first unveiled as a concept at the IAA show in 2019. Initial prototypes were then made available at the IAA Mobility 2021 for visitors to experience in action as shuttle vehicles.

As for the engine and performance, In combination with a highly integrated drive unit using fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology at the rear axle and a powerful battery with lithium-ion technology developed especially for this vehicle, the powertrain channels maximum output of 295kW (401 hp) on the road.

In coasting overrun and braking phases, the motor also serves as a generator, feeding energy back into a power battery.

It can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in less than 6 seconds and has a top speed of over 180 km/h (112 mph).

The hydrogen needed to supply the fuel cell is stored in two 700-bar tanks made of carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP).

Together these hold almost six kilograms of hydrogen, enough to give the BMW iX5 Hydrogen a range of 504 km (313 miles) in the WLTP cycle.

Filling up the hydrogen tanks only takes three to four minutes – so the BMW iX5 Hydrogen can also provide the driving pleasure for which BMW is renowned over long distances, with just a few, short stops along the way.

The BMW iX5 Hydrogen is being built in the BMW Group’s pilot plant at its Research and Innovation Centre in Munich.
