iX xDrive50 - real world range in winter

about 2 months ago· 14 posts

For anyone considering the iX, heres my real world range data from this winter (Lithuania, -10 to -15C): Rated range: 630km Actual winter range: 380-420km Thats about 60-65% of rated range in cold weather. Still enough for my daily commute but long trips need planning. Heating the cabin uses a lot of energy. Pre-conditioning while plugged in helps a lot.

I get about 350-400km in Lithuanian winter (-5 to -15C). The biggest drain is cabin heating. I always pre-condition while plugged in - this makes a huge difference, saves about 10-15% range. Also keep it in Eco Pro mode for highway driving, the difference vs Comfort mode is significant.

My colleague has the iX50 and gets about 380km in winter. He says the heat pump option is worth it - it recycles waste heat from the drivetrain to warm the cabin. Without the heat pump, range drops even more in cold weather.
