This is the second generation of BMW X2, however it's the very first that you can have as a pure electrical automobile. Badged the iX2 it gets a 64.8 kWh battery, two different models– a 201bhp, front-wheel drive eDrive20 model or a rapid, four-wheel drive version in the 309bhp xDrive30. You can likewise have it as a plug-in hybrid, and as a standard mild hybrid fuel cars and truck, however here we're focussing simply on the electrical iX2.
Being a mid-sized family premium electrical SUV priced at around ₤ 52,000 and up, the iX2 has competitors– and a great deal of it. The Tesla Model Y, Kia EV6, Mercedes EQA, Audi Q4 e-tron and Volvo C40 Recharge all count themselves as competitors, not to discuss BMW's own slightly smaller, less expensive and less trendy iX1.
The BMW iX2 gets a range of as much as 283 miles in the eDrive20, or approximately 267 miles in the xDrive30 that we drove, which is adequate however not precisely brilliant given that alternative electrical cars and trucks like the Tesla Model Y and Kia EV6 use a series of over 300 miles. They also charge more quickly; the BMW's quick charging tops out at 130kW, which isn't that remarkable for a new design when you consider that a Kia EV6 has a maximum charging rate of 235 kW and a Tesla Design Y can charge at approximately 250 kW. But, BMW does explain that the iX2's brand-new charging software optimises charging so that it holds a high charge rate for a long period rather than routing off quite rapidly as the battery fills– as a lot of electric vehicles do. Basically, it has faster general charging speeds regardless of a comparably low charge rate on paper, so it's still said to handle a 10-80% charge in 29 minutes, which does compare to that of Model Y. We'll need to see how that works out in the real life when we get a car to a charging station in the UK.
