BMW IX M60 2023
Silent power for early coastal runs to Cascais

The IX M60 does its most convincing work in silence. Full throttle from a standstill outside a hotel on Avenida da Liberdade produces none of the theatre you'd expect from something this quick — just a flat, immediate shove that settles into a hush once you're rolling. For clients who want presence at a boardroom in Parque das Nações or a discreet arrival at the airport without the noise signature of a combustion GT, that's the appeal: full-size SUV proportions, four usable doors, and enough power delivery to make merging onto the A5 feel effortless rather than urgent. This is the one 2023 IX M60 in the fleet, available as a single well-specified variant rather than a menu of trims, which keeps the booking conversation simple — you're deciding on dates and handover, not comparing option lists. Day rates start at €500, positioning it as an electric alternative to the petrol SUVs on the roster for guests who'd rather not think about fuel stops on a longer day out, whether that's a run up toward Sintra before the town's narrow lanes and midday parking crunch, or a flatter, faster stretch south on the A2. In the city itself the IX M60 is easier to place than its footprint suggests — the driving position and cameras make Alfama's tighter corners manageable, though it's happiest on the boulevards and coastal roads where its weight and power actually get to work. Handover can be arranged to hotels, the airport, or a private address, with the usual security deposit and paperwork settled before the keys change hands, and Via Verde toll setup worth confirming at that point if the itinerary includes the A2 or A5.
