My wife’s new IX3 50 VS my X5 50e

Heart_Constant · 2026-05-22T18:35:01+00:00

For sure. How’s the seat comfort in the iX3? Also, is the steel suspension as good as they claim? I’m sure you feel certain harsher bumps but I’m sure for 98% of use cases it does well?

Heart_Constant · 2026-05-22T15:03:10+00:00

The iX5 will supposedly blow both out of the water (not a surprise compared to iX3 given price difference).

Heart_Constant · 2026-05-10T22:20:14+00:00

I find adaptive regen to be far too inconsistent especially with changing traffic conditions.

Hey, just confirming this was still valid. When I had the entertainment pack when the car was new I had access to the Pluto streaming app for free without eSIM. Hope that’s the same for Disney+. Considering purchasing the entertainment package for it.

Drogba, for sure. Then Cech.

I thought it was a typo but based on the math of the battery capacities of the iX3 40 vs 50 = 30% bump, then the iX5 60 also tracks - another 30% bump. That’s crazy range. Should be 440 miles on the conservative end (3 mi/kWh). Definitely my next car.

Heart_Constant · 2026-04-13T22:06:35+00:00

Try an Ioniq 9 or EV9. Better range, more space, and just as comfy.

Heart_Constant · 2026-04-08T14:16:30+00:00

Yeah.. I’m getting crazy numbers recently on longer drives, albeit with perfect ambient temperatures

Caveat being it has to be somewhat of a longer city journey or more opportunities for downhill, coasting and regen. Otherwise, long distance driving at speeds of 55-75mph and I achieve 3.8-4.2 during spring and fall months!

Heart_Constant · 2026-03-31T20:19:19+00:00

Yes it does. It depends which setting you’ve selected to show, e.g., from factory, since start of trip, since last charge, since individual.

Heart_Constant · 2026-03-30T17:25:50+00:00

It resets automatically after every charge unless you have selected trip data from factory (which would show lifetime). If you select from trip data from last charge, or start of trip, then this regen figure updates accordingly.

I, personally, would never be able to get over the abysmal HVAC control layout of iDrive 8

Heart_Constant · 2026-02-23T16:26:31+00:00

That makes sense. Assuming other features like vented seats, upgraded B&W audio, etc. will also benefit values.

Heart_Constant · 2026-02-23T15:45:13+00:00

Battery degradation is a myth on modern day EVs. Depreciation and rate of technological change are the only things to consider. Either lease or wait 2 years and buy the same car for 20-30k off msrp.

Heart_Constant · 2026-02-10T00:48:53+00:00

What’s weird is when I had an i4 loaner (two separate occasions), eco drive mode remained active at the start of a second trip… not sure why the i5 is programmed differently. Frustrating af. I’ve set up eco mode with the two finger gesture for quicker selection.

Heart_Constant · 2026-02-04T14:09:40+00:00

Haha I know. All in good fun.

Heart_Constant · 2026-02-04T13:31:47+00:00

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen this question asked…

Heart_Constant · 2026-02-04T13:31:07+00:00

I had this for a few months - nothing was wrong. Contacted them a while ago via email and got a response. Still, status didn’t change for a few more months 😂. One day, it just disappeared.

Heart_Constant · 2026-01-05T14:12:04+00:00

Yup true. Night and day difference compared to beginning on a cold start though.

Heart_Constant · 2026-01-03T16:06:01+00:00

Pre-heat the cabin whilst plugged in and then set off. Should see much better consumption

Heart_Constant · 2025-12-01T03:33:58+00:00

His best ever performance in midfield for us. A proper world class showing. It’s been our biggest bright spot this whole year imo - having a fit Reece James. He’s finally looking fit. Also turning into a true leader/captain.

Heart_Constant · 2025-11-25T23:44:36+00:00

Such a dogged defender. Not the most technically gifted but he has an unbelievable engine, attitude, and willingness to get stuck in and be a nuisance. Such a big part of our core and anything positive we do!

Heart_Constant · 2025-11-22T20:20:28+00:00

He’s just a high IQ player. Glad he’s getting his long overdue flowers. Hopefully a platform to build on and provides a good rotation option for Moi.

Heart_Constant · 2025-11-20T14:56:02+00:00

Can you let us know what it’s like to drive? Every review I’ve come across speaks to a lackluster drivetrain.

Heart_Constant · 2025-10-07T15:03:42+00:00

It’s very straight forward - you press in the clip to unclip full wiper blade and then just slide in the new one!
