The 2022 BMW iX is a Great EV, but is it a BMW? | MotorWeek Road Test

  • While BMW has been in the battery electric game for some time now, their i3 didn’t exactly catch on in big numbers. In order for the BMW faithful to buy in, it has to look and perform like a BMW, and if it’s an SUV, that will surely help too. It sounds like this all-new BMW iX is just what der doktor ordered. #BMW #BMWiX #iX

    The blunt slab sided nose with that awful fake grill looks awful, and poor for efficiency and aeros. BMW used to be famed for subtle understated elegance. This car doesn't have a radiator so why the fake grill. Its a BEV, so style it like a BEV and make it more aerodynamically efficient.

    MotorWeek is one of my favorite channels, and cars are one of my favorite hobbies, however the last three vids uploaded including this, I am forced to say that cars are getting ugly.
    Come on manufacturers/designers, your ideas of 'future' isn't the future.

    Adrian vanHooydonk really needs to stop it and get some help. Now. Seriously. It's absolutely hideous, just like the rest of the recent BMW lineup. I've never seen any other company denying all of its characteristic design motifs that made its cars famous like BMW does. It's revolting.

    Hear me out: it looks like a minivan in person. It's quite upright, has a cab-forward side profile, and the ground clearance is more sedan-like than SUV-like. Just add sliding rear doors and you got yourself a BMW minivan.

      kind of.. electric range dictates aerodynamic design which excludes the X5 approach.. wonder how much range a fully electrified X5 with a 105 kW battery would get as range? I guess the tesla model X and Y also has a minivan look 😊

    That was very impressive stability through that slalom test, considering the thing weighs 2.6 tons 3:42. But I still strongly dislike the looks though. I will be swapping my G05 X5 for a Mercedes EQS SUV instead. The EQS SUV is far much better looking and even more luxurious. BMW have lost me with their persistence with these weird, polarizing designs. Yes, looks matter very much to me. I'm shallow that way.

    I absolutely love it. I haven’t driven one but will take each model for a spin when the weather is nicer but based on appearance, reviews and satisfaction this is my favorite EV outside a Plaid. I’m praying for a recession, a hardcore recession of a couple years. It would be nice to land a M60 for 20k off invoice bringing it down to 80k. Now that’s a pill I can swallow which likely won’t be in the cards but it’s definitely a possibility.
