The 2022 BMW iX is a supremely quiet and long-range highway cruiser:
One of the hallmarks of automotive luxury is cruising in pristine silence. Many people assume that electric vehicles are supremely silent—using electrons to power the motors does away with the thrum and buzz of the constant miniature explosions happening within the cylinders of an internal-combustion engine. But at highway speeds EVs aren't necessarily any quieter, and they are susceptible to the same tire thrum and wind noise as combustion-powered vehicles.
Our test vehicle was a 2022 BMW iX xDrive50, which, after a suite of optional extras was added, cost a cool $104,020. The xDrive50 is the iX's entry-level trim in the U.S., powered by an electric motor on each axle that produce a combined 516 horsepower. The iX we tested rode on optional 22-inch wheels shod in Bridgestone Alenza 001 B-Silent summer tires, making its silence that much more impressive.
