Advantages
- Range is impressive at up to 630km on a single charge, among the best of any electric SUV currently available.
- Fast charging capability means 10-80% charge in just 35 minutes at 195kW chargers, minimizing downtime on long trips.
- Interior is genuinely luxurious with sustainable materials, spacious cabin, and that special BMW attention to detail.
- Technology is cutting-edge with curved display, advanced driver assistance, and OTA updates keeping it fresh.
- Performance is strong with up to 523 hp in the xDrive50 delivering 0-100km/h in just 4.6 seconds.
Pay Attention
- Design is highly controversial with the massive kidney grille and unusual proportions dividing opinion strongly.
- Price is very expensive starting from over €80,000 and rising quickly with options, putting it in luxury SUV territory.
- Weight is substantial at 2.5+ tons which affects handling dynamics and tire wear despite the low center of gravity.
- Some interior materials like the hexagonal steering wheel and iNext concept elements are divisive.
- The large grille is functional but many find it aesthetically challenging compared to more traditional BMW designs.
