Video Summary
The key points of the electric car review:-The BMW iX1 has a sprightly acceleration with 230 kW and nearly 500 Nm of torque, with a twin motor setup allowing for four-wheel drive. BMW claims it goes from 0 to 100 kph in 5.6 seconds.
-The iX1's steering is direct and provides quick feedback allowing you to accurately place the car where you want.
-The BMW iX1 platform is stiff but the suspension is good and the car can handle it. With the steering being direct this a fun vehicle to drive.
- BMW claimed range for the iX1 is just over 400 kilometers per charge, the reviewer believes it is approximately 340 kilometres. The iX1 battery is 64kW. It has had been driven in sports mode to obtain the estimate.
-The reviewer likes that the cabin is pretty generic premium baby SUV and not overly electrified like other cars. He likes that it is not polarizing, so it doesn't scare anyone.
-A key consideration is the price, with the MINI Countryman SE All4 200 000 Rand less expensive than the BMW iX1.
-Volvo’s EX30’s acceleration 0-100 kilometers p/h comes in 3.6 seconds in performance mode.
-While performing a bump test the cars are showing little-to-no wheel spin.
-When evaluating the seating the IX1 came up with more usable room as it can fit a pram easier.
