    .............................................................
    Here’s the BMW iX - BMW’s first purpose-built, all-electric SUV!
    So does the iX stand a chance against class leaders like the Tesla Model X or Audi e-tron? Well, it’s time to find out!
    Starting with the exterior design, there’s no denying that it’s certainly striking! Sure, it doesn’t need the massive ‘grille’ upfront, but if anything it clearly helps it to stand out on the road. What’s more, the high-quality of the outside continues through to the inside, where you’ll find a minimalist design coupled with a load of tech.
    The performance isn’t all that bad either! When it comes to the range-topping xDrive50 edition, it comes equipped with a 100kWh battery which is good for a claimed range of 373 miles. It also produces 500hp, and can hit 60mph in under five seconds!
    So the question is - is it really worth the £95,000 starting price for the range-topping iX50? And should you consider it over a Model X? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

    This week I test drove both the 40 and 50. The acceleration in both is impressive. With the addition of air suspension the ride is much more comfortable in the 50 model. The design of the front seats makes the rear seats claustrophobic. Worth being aware that the rear windows only go down half way. The seats would benefit from better lumbar support. This can be overcome with the lumbar adjustment if fitted to the front seats. Be aware that due to a shortage of chips the lumbar adjustment is not currently available on the front passenger seat. The sunroof is frustratingly opaque when in the clear mode, hopefully this can be improved. The designers could have thought through better how this vehicle will be charged, for the charge sockets are in the location where one would typically put petrol or diesel. Near the front as with most PHEV vehicles would be better. They need to redesign to provide storage for the parcel shelf too. The current shelf appears like cheap plastic and not appropriate for a car of this price. The dashboard looks good but drivers may get annoyed when their passengers change the display when they want to adjust their seat heat. The performance and interior space are very impressive. The car is the size of the X5 yet has the boot space of the X3 so make sure it is sufficient for your need.

    regarding the complaint about the covers in the back , they do have a place to go. if you lift up the under-trunk storage where the cable is kept, there are slots for them to slide into, keeping them hidden away and out of the way. Also regarding the charging, you mention a 7kw wallbox, but you can use up to 11kw level2 charging. i have a 9.6kw charger for mine (40amp) and it charges plenty fast. i charge it 1-2 times per week. from 20-ish to 80%, if you need more speed than that, then you can get a 50amp charger to get 11kw out of it.

      maybe there was an update? because that definitely is not true today. the temperature is at the bottom of the home screen. and if you want to change fan speed for whatever reason, there's a climate button in the center of the bottom of the home screen. you click that and you have all the climate controls right there, 1 touch away. so, hurray for OTA updates perhaps. i do miss physical buttons, and hope manufacturers come back around to that, but if not, a single touch away should be what most things are.

    Maybe in a dark color the front wouldn't be so bad. But I'll say the vehicle is impressive. I think this has a pretty nice edge on the model x mainly because of the significantly cheaper price tag though you do lose some comparatively. A buyer will just need to figure out what they want and will use it for. I hope BMW comes out with a model y competitor in the $50k range with a decent battery range.

    Mat`s videos are sometimes the only thing that makes me laugh in a day. Love how he is in his natural state with no filters, feels like he is talking to a friend and not making a car review. "One ugly MF" made me lol this time

    Would be brilliant if they put an electric motor on each wheel and increase the BHP to 800, like the Rivien products!
