LIVING WITH A BMW IX FOR A WEEK! | FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The BMW iX, reviewed in its 2025 iteration, is presented as a spacious and luxurious electric SUV that largely lives up to its initial hype. The reviewer highlights its futuristic interior design, exceptionally smooth and quiet ride quality, and impressive range, particularly for the xDrive 50 model which boasts up to 382 miles WLTP. The cabin's open-air feel, premium leather materials, and advanced multimedia system are lauded. However, the vehicle is not without its drawbacks. The reviewer notes the polarizing exterior design, specifically the large kidney grille, and the absence of a front trunk (frunk), a feature common in other EVs. The high price point, especially with optional extras, is also a significant consideration, with the reviewed model reaching approximately £118,000. Despite its considerable weight (over 2,600 kg), the iX offers a comfortable and refined driving experience, with adjustable suspension that can switch between a plush, S-Class-like comfort and a firmer, sportier feel.
