A few months back we headed to see the new BMW iX at BMW’s training facility near Gurgaon. I for one went with a lot of questions in my mind. You see, the new generation BMW grille has been a talking point internationally and this was the first time I was about to see it. Then there were numerous other things popping into my mind. But let me tell you that the BMW iX truly blew me away with certain elements it possessed. But nothing matches the experience I had behind the wheel of the massive goliath. Spoiler alert here! The acceleration on this 2.5-tonne SUV is so quick that the fancy digital speedo has a hard time keeping up! Now back to the review.
