There are numerous thought-provoking facts and options about the battery-run cars sprinkled all through the up coming-gen stats-design and style body-by-frame showdown.

The Bimmer guidelines the scales at an eye-popping 5,707 lbs. but does hide ideal-in-exam HP guiding its ungainly faux grille. To go with its outstanding 516 ponies, its twin motivators generate a silver medal in twist at 564. The Bavarians consider another one of a kind technique to dolling out electricity. It arrives on steadily at very first, leading to the iX to tumble behind just before surging to the center of the pack.
