Pursuits Weekly: BMW’s Beaver-Toothed Electric SUV Is Just Fine
Ugly and unexciting, the $83,200 iX has enough going on to excite brand loyalists.
Meet the 2022 BMW iX.
Photographer: Hannah Elliott/BloombergBMW has finally made a new electric auto, the iX SUV. I say “finally” because the last we heard—product-wise—from BMW regarding electric technology was the tiny and lackluster i3 that debuted in 2011.
The $83,200 iX, on the other hand, offers seating for five and 300-plus miles of driving range. It’s not exciting to drive, like a sports car. It lacks the styling cues of the X6M, one of the all-time favorite SUVs of Pursuits Car Critic Hannah Elliott. But hey, here we are.
