Video Summary
The iX2 is slightly lower but longer than the iX1, potentially meaning better efficiency. It’s equipped with fat rims and red brake calipers. Rear seats are not spacious when front seats are pushed all the way back. The trunk is longer but not as tall as the iX1, resulting in less banana box space. Efficiency is key, especially if space isn't a priority.The battery has about 66 kWh. The review is focused on measuring the car's efficiency. It is possible to see only instant consumption and trip meter. The vehicle stats are not intuitive. Live vehicle menu shows data from journey. 190 Wh/km measured for journey, testing the infotainment system.
At 120km/h, 215Wh/km were measured. Nice ride, comfortable, thick steering wheel. However, noise is measured to be moderate, roughly the same as some Teslas. If the noise bothers the driver, smaller rims with more profile are advised. At 120km/h with headwind, 215Wh/km observed.
The review measures the front and rear wheel weight distribution: 1080kg Front Axle. Overall car weight is 2180kg. With summer tires, test shows consumption as 212 Wh/km and the driving range is 292km.
The Harmon Kardon speaker is good with firm bass with pleasant sound overall and rated 6-7 out of 10. It is still a BMW with good interior and premium feel. One has to decide what is more important the BMW or its M feeling. The vehicle needs more testing and information.
