Is this the ultimate electric SUV showdown? Mat’s back, and this time he’s brought the heavy hitters of the luxury EV world.
In this video, we’re pitting the established BMW iX against its newest, most formidable rivals. We have the boxy and brilliant Kia EV9, its sleek and sophisticated sibling, the Hyundai Ioniq 9, the ultra-minimalist Polestar 3, and the safety-focused Volvo EX90.
Which of these high-tech EVs offers the best range, the most luxury, and the best value for your money? Let’s find out!
The Contenders – Specs for the cars in this video:
– BMW iX: 109kWh battery, 403 miles range, £75,405, 544hp (Dual Motor)
– Polestar 3: 107kWh battery, 438 miles range, £69,990, 300hp (Single Motor)
– Volvo EX90: 107kWh battery, 375 miles range, £73,160, 408hp (Dual Motor)

– Kia EV9: 96kWh battery, 313 miles range, £66,035, 385hp (Dual Motor)
So what’s in this review?
– Design: From the bold BMW grille to the Ioniq’s “Aerosthetic” curves.
– Interior & Tech: Which cabin feels the most premium, and which infotainment system actually works?
– Practicality: We test the 7-seater capacity of the Kia, Hyundai, and Volvo versus the 5-seat luxury of the Polestar and BMW.
– Driving: Does a 2.5-tonne SUV have any right to be fast? (Spoiler: Yes).
– The Verdict: Which one should you buy, avoid, or lease?
