The BMW iX<\/a> xDrive50 is the latest model tested in Bj\u00f8rn Nyland’s<\/a> humorous banana box test, which measures cargo potential.<\/p>\n

The iX has no frunk (front trunk) – you actually can’t even open the hood, as it’s not intended by the manufacturer. There is only a separate, small opening for the windshield wiper fluid.<\/p>\n

According to the data, less than a third of the tested cars have a frunk, and less than half of those which have a frunk can actually take at least one box inside.<\/p>\n

In the case of the trunk, the iX was able to take 8<\/strong> boxes. It’s more than average, but a bit disappointing, considering the size of the car. For reference, the Volkswagen ID.4 was able to take 9, Skoda Enyaq iV 10, Hyundai Ioniq 5 11 boxes.<\/p>\n

After folding the rear seats, up to 25<\/strong> boxes can be put inside, which is one of the best results, matching all of the cars mentioned above.<\/p>\n
