Long Beach BMW is here to electrify your LA travels with loved ones, but we want you to be well-informed before purchasing an electric SUV like the new BMW iX. That's why we compare the iX to other fully electric SUVs, including the Tesla Model X, Audi Q8 e-tron®, and the Mercedes-Benz EQE.
BMW iX vs. the Electric SUV Competition
BMW iX Ranks First Among EVs in Consumer Reports
The BMW iX ranked first in Consumer Reports among this class of EVs. The BMW iX scored 84, easily topping the Audi Q8 e-tron® at 70, the Mercedes-Benz EQE at 54, and the Tesla Model X at 53.
BMW iX Exceeds Range Expectations
With 311 miles of range, the new BMW iX can power six round trips from Long Beach to downtown LA for Lakers games, concerts, and events. In four different range-testing scenarios, the BMW iX exceeded its max range total, hitting 315, 345, 370, and 377 miles during the tests. The competing electric SUVs didn't come close.
The Tesla Model X went for 313 miles, which was 35 miles below its 348-mile range total. The EQE surpassed its estimated range total of 279 miles, but still didn't reach the 300-mile mark. The Audi Q8 e-tron® SUVs can't even reach 300 miles on single charge, topping out at 285 miles.
When you travel to Rosie's Dog Beach, the Long Beach Jazz Festival, and LA events, the BMW iX ensures you can make it farther on a single charge.
BMW iX Provides a Power Boost
The Audi Q8 e-tron® and EQE SUV generate 402 and 288 horsepower, respectively. The BMW iX xDrive50 is more powerful, generating 516 horsepower. The iX M60 delivers 610 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, easily topping the EQE SUV's max torque value of 564 pound-feet.
BMW iX Wins in Cargo Space
Between 36 cubic feet of storage and a max cargo volume of 78 cubic feet, the BMW iX provides Long Beach families with more room for their belongings.
The Audi Q8 e-tron® has much less cargo space with figures of 29 to 56 cubic feet. The same goes for the EQE at 14 and 55 cubic feet. The Tesla Model X has 37 cubic feet of storage.
BMW iX Offers Superior Features
The BMW iX has a standard Panoramic Sky Lounge LED Roof with liquid crystals to create an instantaneous shading effect. It's superior to the generic panoramic sunroof in the Audi Q8 e-tron®.
Coming back from Belmont Shore? Your BMW iX creates a 4D audio experience through 30 speakers with the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound system. The Burmester 3D Surround Sound system in the EQE only has half the number of speakers.
BMW iX More Aerodynamic
The 0.25 Cd drag coefficient makes the iX the most aerodynamic BMW SUV. It's superior to the 0.29 Cd value for the Audi Q8 e-tron®, which falls short in the range category as a result.
