This is actually pretty good overall:

If it were just a bit quicker to 60, I'd be seriously tempted.

No way would I trade my MachE for a vehicle that looks like a squirrel.

I hope they don't exchange the small nose for the big one they use in their other EVs

272 mile range is impressive for this small SUV. Better than the GV60.

But that is with the European WLTP standard. It is usually less using EPA tests.

And, I just searched for any EPA data it appears that they won't be bringing this to the US, only the ICE version for us.

"... the chances of seeing it cross the Atlantic are reportedly slim" says that article.

So probably a squirrel-looking SUV for Chinese consumers.

I can't understand why they wouldn't bring the EV or PHEV versions to the US. They'd sell like hotcakes!

I prefer the iX xdrive50.............even with the big ol ugly kidney grill

There are a lot of great EVs in Europe that we don't get. I think it is because they think we only won't bigger cars and bigger batteries. Even with the ID.Buzz, the US version is going to be longer than any of the ones shown to the press with another row of seating. I'd like to see the VW ID.3 here in the US -- or the Ora Cat. Our Mach-E would be our road trip EV and it would be nice to have a small second EV.

It's a BMW so expect it to spend the majority of it's time in the BMW Service Department !

I like BMW sedans, roadsters, and ICE SUVS. Do not like any of their EVs.

I checked it out online, with all the goodies that my premium has it's around 100k. Cool SUV but not a good value

That thing is shockingly ugly.

IMHO, of course.

It would make a good fleet vehicle for a taxi fleet in Munich
