BMW iX2 vs Zeekr 7X

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 265 miles for the BMW iX2 and 249 miles for the Zeekr 7X - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The BMW iX2 goes roughly 17 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 29 minutes in the BMW iX2 and 13 in the Zeekr 7X, so the Zeekr 7X loses less time at each stop. So the BMW iX2 stops less often while the Zeekr 7X stops for less time - pick on which you would rather do.

The BMW iX2 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 85 mm narrower than the Zeekr 7X. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 555 mm of total clearance for the BMW iX2 and about 470 mm of total clearance for the Zeekr 7X. The Zeekr 7X also turns in a 0.3 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the BMW iX2 and 90% for the Zeekr 7X. That gives the Zeekr 7X a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Zeekr 7X's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the BMW iX2's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
