Kuala Lumpur, 21 July 2025 – BMW Group Malaysia has redefined what luxury driving means in Malaysia with the debut of three exciting new models: the fully electric BMW iX xDrive60 M Sport Pro, the BMW iX xDrive45 Sport, and the locally assembled BMW X5 xDrive40i M Sport. This launch, held at The Art of Driving 2025, reflects the brand’s firm belief in the Power of Choice, empowering drivers to select between petrol and electric powertrains according to their preferences.

Power of Choice: Petrol or Electric, Luxury Remains

BMW’s latest models showcase a blend of design, performance, and sustainability. Whether drivers choose electric or petrol, they experience the same signature BMW excellence. This commitment to flexibility aligns with the brand’s principle of Technology Openness, which ensures continued innovation without compromising customer choice.

Benjamin Nagel, Managing Director of BMW Group Malaysia, stated, “As the leading premium automaker and premium electric vehicle provider in Malaysia, we set out not only to expand our portfolio of offerings in Malaysia, but also to redefine what it means to experience luxury. 

For us, luxury is not defined by fine materials and craftsmanship alone – it is the power to choose. This is what we offer our customers through our guiding principles of Technology Openness and the Power of Choice.”
