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

Born in Sydney’s Inner West, John wasn’t treated to the usual suite of Aussie-built family cars growing up, with his parents choosing quirky (often chevroned) French motors that shaped his love of cars. The call of motoring journalism was too strong to deny and in 2019 John kickstarted his career at Chasing Cars. A move to WhichCar and Wheels magazine exposed him to a different side of the industry and the glossy pages of physical magazines. John is back on the digital side of things at CarsGuide, where he’s taken up a role as Deputy News Editor spinning yarns about the latest happenings in the automotive industry. When he isn’t working, John can be found tooling around in either his 2002 Renault Clio Sport 172 or 1983 Alfasud Gold Cloverleaf.
