So naturally, customers who live in cold climates are constantly worried about the overall effect on the electric driving range. YouTube and Tesla owner Bj\u00f8rn Nyland got behind the wheel of the new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/category\/models\/bmw-i\/ix\/\">2022 BMW iX xDrive50<\/a>. Bj\u00f8rn went through a series of tests, starting with the high-speed test followed by \u201cnormal\u201d highway and city driving.<\/p>\n<p>Tire choice matters when we talk about efficiency and range in electric cars, so he points out immediately that the iX was riding on Michelin\u00a0Pilot Alpin 5 SUV in 21 inches all-around. The BMW iX xDrive50 is equipped with\u00a0with a 111.5 kWh battery (105.2 kWh net usable). This is a standard 400V battery system. In the United States, the BMW iX xDrive50 is rated at 305 miles (491 km) with 21\u2033 wheels (255\/50R21 109H XL), 324 miles (521 km) with 20\u2033 wheels (235\/60R20 108H XL) and 315 miles (507 km) with 22\u2033 wheels (275\/40R22 107Y).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-417956\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-830x552.jpg\" alt=\"bmw ix xDrive40 review 03 830x552\" width=\"830\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-1540x1024.jpg 1540w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw ix xDrive40 review 03 830x552\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-417956\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20830%20552%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-830x552.jpg\" alt=\"bmw ix xDrive40 review 03 830x552\" width=\"830\" height=\"552\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-830x553.jpg 830w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-1540x1024.jpg 1540w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/bmw-ix-xDrive40-review-03.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" title=\"image of bmw ix xDrive40 review 03 830x552\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>BMW iX \u2013 Test Results Winter Driving<\/h3>\n<p>The test results are quite impressive and in-line with the expectations. The iX 50 returned 304 miles (489 km) at 55 mph (90 km\/h) and 227 miles (365 km) at 75 mph (120 km\/h). As you\u2019d expect, the range does take a bit when the car consumers more power, so high speeds are never ideal for electric cars when it comes to efficiency and range. To put things in perspective, the Mercedes EQS 580 4Matic \u2013 which has a similar battery capacity \u2013 returned 317 miles (511 km) at 55 mph (90 km\/h) and 251 miles (404 km) at 75 mph (120 km\/h).\u00a0The EQS was riding on Nokian R3 21 inch tires.<\/p>\n<h3>BMW i4 \u2013 Test Results Winter Driving<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, there are a lot of variables that determine the outcome, from the outside temperate at the time of testing to the driving route. Bj\u00f8rn also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/02\/07\/bmw-i4-m50-range-test\/\">recently tested the BMW i4<\/a>. The car had the larger 19-inch wheels with 245\/40 front and 255\/40 rear Pirelli P Zero winter tires. uring the first part of his trip, the car was showing a worrying consumption of 304 Wh\/km. Bear in mind the initial test was done at an average speed of 120 km\/h (75 mph) while the latter was completed at 90 km\/h (56 mph).<\/p>\n<p>The high-speed run with the i4 M50 ended with an average consumption of 279 Wh\/km after covering 142.4 kilometers (88. miles). In these conditions, Bj\u00f8rn Nyland estimates he could\u2019ve been able to do 285 kilometers (177 miles) on a full charge. He then redid the test at the lower speed when the consumption dropped to 207 Wh\/km. It resulted in an estimated maximum range of 385 km (239 miles).<\/p>\n<p>Here is the range review of the BMW iX xDrive50:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BMW iX xDrive50 range test\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VsY_wmpDuOc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BMW iX M60 - We review the 610 hp electric SUV\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CFfITh5zWbk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ADVERTISEMENT Electric cars and cold weather driving are not always the perfect match.
