BMW’s FIRST ELECTRIC car went all the way at the 2014 Wheels Car of the Year, and arguably proved to be a hatchback ahead of its time.

The German brand’s second battery vehicle effort, the iX, arrived at COTY 2022 with hopes of replicating that achievement while enjoying a more opportune existence.

Such is its newness to market, the iX was another of the field’s untested wildcards. The variant made available for testing was the entry-grade xDrive40 in a Sport guise that adds a bodykit, performance brakes and 22-inch wheels. A mid-range xDrive50 featuring a larger battery and more powerful electric motors is also offered initially, with a range-topping M60 arriving later in 2022 as the first ever electric M car.
