The BMW iNext is perhaps one of the favorite recent targets of spy photographers. The upcoming electric machine has been spied countless times since it first hit the road in prototype form, and even BMW itself has released photos of the model undergoing testing. Every single time, though, the heavy camouflage it is wrapped in made it impossible to see how the car really looks like.
The images in the gallery above are no different, as there's still is enough camo on the vehicle to reveal nothing important about it. The big difference is that this time the electric crossover was captured not on a road or in some wasteland, but on the racing track – and not just any racing track, but the Nürburgring.
This is the first time our spies managed to get a glimpse of the iNext on the racetrack, but as far as they’re telling us nothing spectacular happened during the run: we are told the vehicle completed two laps of the circuit, and then headed back to the garage.
The last time we heard something official about the iNext was back in February when BMW revealed some test iNext vehicles were being put through their paces in the Kalahari desert in Africa.
Shown for the first time in 2018 as the Vision iNext concept, the production version crossover will pack the fifth-generation eDrive technology that is also making its way into the iX3 and the i4. In the iX3, for instance, that hardware translates into a range of 440 km (273 miles), but with the iNext rumors are BMW is going for much more, close to 600 km (372 miles).
The iNext should arrive on the roads sometime next year, and that means there’s a good chance we’ll get to see it by the end of 2020, if not at an auto show, then at least in some not-camouflaged form in official photos.
