The BMW iX2 could be a sweet spot for electric car buyers. It’s sportier than the entry-level iX1 SUV, defining itself as a Sports Activity Coupé (SAC) rather than a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) yet costs less than a grand more for the equivalent model. While I’m not sure the term SAC will stick, this coupé-back style of SUV has proved a popular option for many electric buyers, so with the right performance and price, it could be a winner.
I was a big fan of the BMW iX1 when I reviewed it last year, as it offered lots of great features and styling for the money – including some hints of its big brother, the BMW iX. The only thing it lacked was range. The iX2 uses the same 66.5kWh battery and promises a similar range, but its exterior styling is much improved.
