The iX is an all-new and all-electric model in BMW's lineup when it appears in early 2022.

Pros

By:

Pros
Roomy interior
Quick acceleration and nimble handling
Comprehensive set of luxury features and driving aids
Daring interior design

Cons
Starting price is quite high
Daring front-end design

The Q8 debuted as a new model for the 2019 model year, so the changes are minimal for 2020. Some options were reshuffled, likely in response to customer demand, and the DVD player, which was previously located in the glovebox, has been omitted from the Q8 entirely.

Pros
The cabin might as well be a design study, rides like a car, possesses the curb appeal of much pricier hardware.

Cons
Losing a row of seats reduces practicality, expensive, still not as much fun as driving a sedan.
