I took a test drive with my wife. The iX3 40 — we found the driving feel, whether in town, on country roads or on the autobahn at 202 km/h, excellent. The steering was great and the assistance very unobtrusive. It felt very secure to drive. The interior, even in the rear, is huge. It felt perfect for us right away. We chose the sports seats, which we knew from my 5 Series — the comfort seats didn’t hold us firmly enough. My six‑cylinder petrol 5 Series is relatively quiet, but in the electric car the only noise is wind.
