Picked up my new 2024 BMW IX today following a 3-month lead time from build. Have always driven SUVs so started looking at the options in the market. I test drove the IX, along with the Mercedes EQS, Tesla Model X, and the Porsche Cayenne hybrid:
-EQS was a really comfortable drive with amazing tech but wasn’t sporty enough for my liking and was pricey
-Model X had great acceleration and interface, but felt very lacking in material quality and other luxury features.
-Cayenne Hybrid was very nice, but didn’t feel like the technological jump I was looking for. Having the dual engine unfortunately means you still have the traditional maintenance of an ICE engine as well
-IX felt like the best mix of sporty feel, comfortable ride, and luxury features. It’s quite fast, idrive interface works well, the assisted driving feature is a good addition, and the front grill buck teeth have grown on me haha
Happy to see so many new electric models coming available
