To cool the batteries
Road&Track, 9/28/2021:
"The most egregious in a long line of increasingly cartoony grill treatments, the iX carries the added insult inherent to its application to an electric car. It's not a grill, just a flat plastic panel…"
Car&Driver, 11/23/2020:
"…aggressive front end profile despite the lack of a requirement to cool a combustion engine. Instead the grill contains a camera, radar and an array of other sensors."

the battery is located under the length of the cabin floor and is cooled by a plate attached to its underside.
Maybe too cool the sensors then
