The xDrive30 is BMW's flagship electric iX2 range and at $85,700, before on-road costs, neatly slides in below the Luxury Car Tax threshold for electric vehicles.
A pair of BMW's fifth-gen electric motors means AWD and 230kW/494Nm outputs. It uses a 64.8kWh lithium-ion battery for a WLTP driving range of 417km in the TEH cycle. The ride is smooth and power delivery excellent.
Charging at 130kW DC replenishes 10-80 per cent charge in 29 minutes and the iX2's AC charge speed is 22kW. The car arrives with 12 months free ChargeFox public charging and Mode 2 and 3 cables.
You do compromise rear seat room by picking the more style-forward X2 over the X1 with those over six foot likely to be uncomfortable – though the iX2 is just as spacious in the back. Its boot does suffer, with 525L vs 560L in the combustion car.
The front cabin is brimming with technology including wireless smartphone connectivity, BMW's latest 'iDrive 9' operating system and connected navigation.
Features include 19-inch alloy wheels, M Sport kit, 'Veganza' synthetic leather upholstery, heated seats, 'Driving Assistant Professional', a power tailgate and adaptive LED headlights.
