Who it suits

Drivers who want a premium compact electric SUV with all-wheel drive and strong performance (0 to 100 km/h in about 5.6 seconds). It has a 490 litre boot and charges at up to 130 kW (about 29 minutes for 10 to 80%, per launch reports).

Who should look elsewhere

Value-for-range shoppers. At about R1.2 million it is priced well above electric SUVs with larger batteries, and highway range is around 310 km. Sources disagree on its exact battery size and range, so check the current spec with BMW.
