Our opinion

The practical view.

“Shortlist it for the way it fits your household, not for a headline acceleration or range number.”

Why it belongs on a shortlist

  • 82.6 kWh usable battery
  • 275 kW dual-motor AWD
  • 490 L rear boot and 58 L front compartment

Trim guidance: BMW quotes up to 22 kW AC with compatible equipment. Confirm the exact onboard charger and Australian tow rating for the selected build.

BMW Australia claims 526–638 km WLTP depending on equipment and wheels.

Absence of a listed issue is not a reliability claim. Official recalls, manufacturer campaigns, repeated reports, isolated reports and editorial observations are never blended into a fake failure rate.

TechManPat practical fit

Not tested - yet.

Catalogue research is not a physical family-living test, so this vehicle does not receive a TechManPat Tested badge.

The future test covers a rear-facing child seat, pram and shopping, dog crate, boot opening, rear doors, adult rear comfort, easy entry, parking, visibility, controls and real-world efficiency.
