BMW iX review: boot space, seating & practicality
While boot space isn’t as generous as we might like, the iX’s cabin is spacious and airy, with plenty of space on offer
| Length | Width | Height | Boot volume (seats up/down) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4,953mm | 1,967mm | 1,696mm | 500/1,750 litres |
The iX was designed from the ground up as an electric car, using a brand-new platform not shared with any other model in the BMW lineup. It gets all the benefits of an EV-dedicated platform, chief among which is much more interior space than an equivalent combustion-engined car.
BMW iX interior space, storage & comfort
The iX’s cabin feels very spacious and airy thanks to a completely flat floor, the lack of a transmission tunnel and the large panoramic glass roof. Measuring very nearly five metres from end to end, and with a three-metre wheelbase between the axles, the iX is certainly not short on space. Adults can stretch out no matter where they're sitting, with a generous amount of both leg and headroom in the rear, so even those over six feet tall should have no complaints.
Boot space
The iX doesn't have a ‘frunk’ or any storage space under the bonnet, but it still has a sizable 500-litre boot, which is on par with what the plug-in hybrid BMW X5 and electric Mercedes EQC offer. But it does fall short of the 559-litre boot in the Audi Q8 e-tron, as well as the vast, seven-seat interior of the Tesla Model X. Even the iX’s little brother, the iX3, offers 510 litres of luggage capacity. Fold down the iX’s rear seats and you can unlock a huge 1,750 litres, however.
