Electric iX is luxury SUV at cutting edge of comfort and technology — and it’s fast

The iX xDrive50 silently whisks from 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds. Picture: DENIS DROPPA

Performance figures are quoted at 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds for the baseline version and a brisk 4.6 seconds for the xDrive50, with top speed in both cars pegged at 200km/h. We didn’t quite achieve that target as we explored the performance potential every so often, but in our week with this electric car we never experienced range anxiety. After several days of commuting and a longer weekend drive, there was still 170km left in the battery and it truly has an impressive range.

Apart from the electric drivetrain, the iX strays from BMW styling convention particularly in its interior décor. For starters, the electric seat adjusters are mounted on the doors, Mercedes-style. Second, they are made of crystal, as are the iDrove knob and volume adjuster. There is oodles of legroom, much more than you’d get in an X5, and rear seating room is plentiful even when the front passenger stretches their legs straight.

To save weight and increase rigidity it’s constructed of an aluminium space frame, with most of the body made of lightweight carbon fibre-reinforced plastic . When the doors are opened, unpainted CFRP is revealed as a styling element on the inner sills.At a portly 2.5 tonnes the iX is too heavy to be flung through corners like one of BMW’s sports models, but the battery located in the underbody lowers the centre of gravity to give this big Beemer respectably well-mannered handling.
