The BMW iX2’s strongest qualities are its striking looks, great interior design and overall quality, and a drive that pairs keen performance with responsive handling. It feels sportier than many of its rivals to drive, which should please typical BMW buyers, even if some of that sportiness is an illusion from the firm ride and weighty steering.
BMW hasn’t shied away from offering the tech buyers in this segment expect, but the iX2 falls a little short in perhaps the most important area, that of range. A real-world 200 miles is decent but no more than that, especially given the relatively high price tag and fast charging that doesn’t match the likes of Kia or Tesla, let alone direct rivals like Audi. It may be worth sacrificing the performance of the xDrive30 for the extra range, and lower price tag, of the eDrive20.
