Pricing
As BMW’s current electric halo product, the iX naturally ain’t cheap. It starts at a whisker over £70,000 or around £1,000 a month on a typical lease deal. That’s for the entry-level xDrive 40 version, which is possibly our favourite. At least in terms of nailing what a posh, comfortable SUV really ought to be about. Adding three grand upgrades it from Sport to M Sport trim, bringing a slightly more assertive body kit and 21in aero-designed alloy wheels.
Want a bigger engine? You’ll need a big chunk of cash to go with it. The xDrive 50 starts at a mite under £97,000 in Sport trim, or the best part of £100k as an M Sport, which we suspect is probably the way you’ll go if you’re craving the extra performance it brings. As for the super-dooper M60 performance version… that starts at a staggering £116,905. But in a world of decked-out Model Xs and Taycans, it’s not breaking any new ground with such a stocky price tag. In all models, adding another £10-20k in options packs will be laughably easy.
Running costs
Its running costs are what oyu ought to expect from a big, luxurious SUV, and should reflect the cost of entry. A full charge at home, owing to its big ol’ battery, are £20-plus. But for the mileage you’ll get, it’s relatively small fry compared to filling up a BMW X7 or Range Rover with a tank of petrol or diesel, which might be what its owners were previously doing. Its battery and overall vehicle warranty are right on par for the class too, while its insurance groupings are understandably high.
