BMW iX2 eDrive20 2024 review: snapshot

The eDrive20 is the entry into BMW's electric iX2 range and, for $82,900, before on-road costs, uses one of BMW's fifth-gen electric motors on the front axle developing 150kW/247Nm.

It's allied to a 64.8kWh lithium-ion battery for a WLTP driving range of 439km in the TEH cycle. 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.
