BMW’s new EV is a high-tech crossover.
, putting the company on track to reach its goal to move toward a 50 percent global share of fully-electric vehicle sales by 2030.
On the road, the BMW iX is quiet, quick, and, despite the BMW purists’ cries of anguish over everything from styling to the form of the SUV, the iX is very fun to drive. The battery is heavy, and, if you choose to wheel the nearly 5,700-pound car on winding roads, you can certainly feel that weight, but the powerful, dual, electrically-excited synchronous motors that sit at the front and back of the vehicle make it agile and balanced.
The ADAS system, called the Active Driving Assistant Pro , is one of the best I’ve experienced. BMW has tuned the system so that it adapts to the driving situation you’re using it in. For example, it’s exceedingly common in Los Angeles to come to a complete stop from over 70mph after climbing a small hill on the highway. When it happens, it yields fender-benders galore, and, during my time with the SUV, I came across plenty.
With just one exception: during my time with the BMW iX, a nail punctured the belly of the rear-left tire. I happened to be relatively close to my destination but tried to use voice control to navigate to a safe location to pull over and make a call. When the iX’s system noticed that the air pressure was dropping, it sent up an immediate tire pressure alert. Surprisingly, that alert significantly reduced the capability of the voice system.
