AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between these electric crossovers comes down to cabin priorities and practical space. The BMW iX2 gives you a larger boot with the rear seats in place, but fold those seats down and the BMW iX1 offers more overall room. Both models feature responsive touchscreens, though neither provides a physical rotary controller to navigate the menus. You will also notice that rear visibility is compromised in each car by thick rear pillars. Out on the road, both models feel every bump on uneven town streets, yet each settles down comfortably on the motorway. When you push on along twisty country lanes, neither car feels especially nimble because of its weight.
