Well, feels different compare to
Ice.
No heavy front and 2 motors on both axles means a lot power at stability on highways.
But still need to be carefull with its weight on braking and corner


Love it! I feel myself much more confidante

And yea.
Michelin winter tyres are awesome!

I have an iX because I wanted to try an EV, and the iX ticked all the boxes I was looking for. Cross-shopped Tesla, Rivian, Polestar, Audi and MB. Spouse has an iX because after we had driven mine for almost a year, she wanted to switch out her X5. BRM was her pick, and it actually works well with the iX.

Do you recommend? I gotta start shopping around in 2 months as my X6M lease will finish April 1. Currently options are IX M60, i5 M60 and Lucid Tourin (they have 18 month lease options) I love all 3 but the IX M60 I have been gawking over alot recently especially with the bronze tril and red interior

Like everything, it depends. First question is how you plan on using it - my personal opinion is that any EV needs home-based charging to be practical now (maybe with improved infrastructure in the future on-the-street fast charging will be practical). Not right now IMO. second issue is cross-country travel routinely. Again, not practical with an EV right now, at least not without some considerable adjustment. You can do it, but again hobbled by infrastructure. Occasionally, fine, with some preparation and planning.

With the above, my personal opinion is that the iX M60 is best in class for features, handling and price for a medium/large SUV - right now. Understanding that the landscape for EVs is changing at an accelerated rate, for battery technology, range and automated capabilities, and where the next great thing for an ICE car might come along in a couple of years, it will probably be here within 6 months for EVs.

Two and a half weeks in and I’m very happy. It was definitely worth the wait.

Ive seen bmw testing a company they have equity in that made a battery for the IX with a 600mile range! Google it

I live in a condo in NYC but my parents have a private house. I would likely hire an electrician to install the walk box next to their garage.

As far as cross country I never have done one. I have only driven to New Jersey and Connecticut.
