Released March 2024

What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the iX2 is quick and has a well-equipped, high-tech cabin, but most find it less appealing than the iX1. The common criticisms are a firm, unsettled ride, handling short of BMW's usual appeal, a modest range for the money and tight rear headroom; Carwow found some materials too cheap for the price.
