The iX isn't like any BMW, past or present.
The BMW iX is its own thing. It’s not an electric take on the X5 or any of the brands other X models. It doesn’t share a platform with other BMWs, electric or otherwise. It doesn’t claim to be good around a corner, and it doesn’t try to make you think it’d be good off-road. It’s very good at what it does, but what it does are things that aren’t hallmarks of BMW, past or present. It’s a confusing thing. Here’s what you learn after spending some time with it.
Then there’s the iDrive controller and the center console. In our test car, the console was wood with buttons embedded underneath. The iDrive controller, along with volume and even the seat controls on the doors, were crystal. There are also copper accents, something you don’t usually see in a car. Just a nice, comfy place to be, if a bit unBMW.The odd thing with the iX is that it is quite nice to drive.
That makes it the most crossover-y BMW. It may have X in its name, like BMW’s SUVs, but there’s something distinctly more crossover about the iX than any other BMW in the US, even the X1 and X2 that share their platform with Mini. The iX sits low, making it easy to get in and out. The load height for the trunk is also low. It’s easy to get a car seat in the back.
