New Zealand Review: BMW iX M60 + long distance road trip!

Video Description

Could the BMW iX M60 be all things to all car enthusiasts? It's fast, sleek, high-tech and high performance - but as Gav found out in this very New Zealand review, this quarter of a million dollar car isn't perfect. But boy, does it come close! Something that really sets this car apart from the competition is its enormous lithium ion battery, giving the car an incredible claimed range. At 112 kWh in capacity, it has enough energy to reach up to 566 km per charge. But is that claim realistic in New Zealand conditions? As usual, there's only one way to find out!
