When BMW introduced the i3 back in 2013, it showed the world that it was ahead of the pack when it came to electric cars. That the decade-old model still looks fresh and desirable is a testament to the brand’s achievements. Since the i3, BMW has fallen behind its rivals where the electric car is concerned. However, the all-new iX represents a fresh restart for the German marque, and it is perhaps its most significant electric-only model to date as the car targets the top end of the segment.
While in terms of size, the iX sits alongside the X5, and to a certain extent the X7, it is extremely different in all other respects. It is a sizeable SUV, or SAV (sports activity vehicle) in BMW speak. And at the front, there’s no avoiding the signature grille which will attract its fair share of comments. That it has no useful function like being a conventional air intake does make you wonder why BMW wanted it on the car in the first place. Perhaps to make a statement?
