Compare the BMW iX vs Audi Q6 e-tron
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both of these electric SUVs do without a central transmission tunnel, leaving decent foot space for rear-seat passengers. When you need to pack luggage, the Audi Q6 e-tron has a bigger boot and adds a handy front boot, whereas the BMW iX gives you no storage under the bonnet. Lower the rear seats, though, and the iX provides more room overall. The Audi also charges faster at rapid stations. From the driver's seat, the BMW lets you navigate its menus with a rotary controller, while the Q6 e-tron relies solely on touch and voice inputs. On a winding B-road, the iX offers some fun behind the wheel, but the Q6 e-tron is not enjoyable to drive quickly through corners.
