Depends on how you put on those miles. Daily one-way commute of <50/60 km not a problem for either car - even 100 km. Weekly trips from Amsterdam to Groningen - or Cologne or Brussels - maybe a hybrid. Things to consider - you have a much better charging infrastructure there than the US - plus one for an EV. You have much more expensive fuel - minus one for a hybrid (the 45e can only run about 50+ km on electric, then needs a full charge at L2). On the other hand you have cooler weather longer in a season up by the North Sea - not good for electric range.
The answer very much depends on your individual use-case. Do you work (and have a charger at work)? Can you install an L2 charger in or near your home? Again do you put more than 400 or 500 km on the car frequently in one drive? Both cars are very nice as far as options, driving and handling, with the iX being faster and sportier. Any hybrid has more maintenance than an EV, and depreciation is likely to be similar (assuming new - used have already taken a major value dump). You just need to do your personal math.
