TESTED 11.2.25, BARCELONA, SPAIN DELIVERIES MARCH
BMW iX
Changes to chassis and EV tech promise superior driving and for longer
“It absorbs impacts and undulations without the brittleness or floatiness that plagues some rivals”
TESTER’S NOTE
The iX continues to handle its regen strength automatically. Control over the process for the sake of engagement with the drivetrain would arguably elevate its driving appeal.
GK
The BMW iX has always been a conversation starter, whether you love it, hate it or simply don’t know what to make of it. Its mashup of estate, crossover and SUV styling hasn’t stopped generating remarks since its introduction back in 2021 – and that’s before you get to its oversized grille, an even bigger lightning rod for opinion.
Yes, the iX is still controversial – but instead of caving to critics and moving to comprehensively rework the looks of its flagship electric SUV with this mid-life facelift, BMW is defiantly serving up more of the same, with just a few stylistic refinements accompanying the mechanical and digital changes.
