CarTell take
We haven't driven the iX yet. On paper, if you need three rows, step up to the EQS SUV or Volvo EX90, the iX is five seats only. Optional 22 kW AC charging is worth specifying if you have three phase at home.
Why consider it
- 701 km WLTP on xDrive60 leads the large electric SUV segment.
- The bigger battery cars charge at 270 kW peak.
- Cabin materials and packaging feel a generation ahead of the X5, with a 500 L boot, 1,750 L folded, plus a 35 L frunk.
What to know
- Polarising face is now in its second generation and still divides buyers.
- Hexagonal steering wheel takes getting used to.
- Heavy kerb weight is felt on tight country roads.
Who it suits
Long distance families wanting 701 km of WLTP range, X5 upgraders chasing a fresher cabin with more space, performance buyers drawn to the 485 kW M70, and eco conscious luxury buyers who like the recycled cabin materials.
