Frequently asked questions

These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the BMW iX2 and Ford Capri like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 265 miles for the BMW iX2 and 193 miles for the Ford Capri - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The BMW iX2 goes roughly 73 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 25-29 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the BMW iX2 or the Ford Capri?
The two are within 27 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 555 mm of total clearance for the BMW iX2 and about 528 mm of total clearance for the Ford Capri. The Ford Capri also turns in a 1.0 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the BMW iX2 or the Ford Capri?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the BMW iX2 and 90% for the Ford Capri. That gives the Ford Capri a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Ford Capri'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.
