2023 BMW IX REVIEW (INC. 0-100, AUTONOMOUS DRIVING & REVERSE TEST!) SUV

EV Channels Review

The BMW iX M60 is presented as the "ballistic version" of the iX, offering explosive performance with nearly 500kW and 1100Nm of torque. The reviewer highlights its incredible acceleration, achieving 0-100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, and praises the effectiveness of its brakes. While the exterior design is noted as divisive, the interior is lauded for its stunning aesthetics, premium materials, and spaciousness, featuring a large curved display and a 30-speaker Bowers & Wilkins sound system. The autonomous driving technology, particularly the lane-keeping assist, is described as "sensational" and "unreal." However, the reviewer points out a few drawbacks, including a slightly tinny door slam sound, a less-than-ideal cup holder placement, and a steering feel that can be artificial, especially with the rear-wheel steering. Real-world energy consumption is higher than claimed, impacting range, though sensible driving is expected to yield better results. Despite its high price point, the iX M60 is concluded to be the best luxury electric SUV on the market, offering a compelling blend of luxury, performance, and technology.
