Perform the following to determine the correct load limit for the 2025 BMW iX:
- Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs” on the vehicle’s placard.
- Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in the vehicle.
- Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
- The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs and there will be five 150 lbs passengers in the vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs).
- Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
- If the vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to the vehicle. Consult the owners manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of the vehicle.
Payload
- The maximum payload is the sum of the weight of the occupants and the cargo.
- The greater the weight of the occupants, the less cargo that can be transported.
