Frequently asked questions
Is the BMW iX2 worth the extra £7,550 over the Peugeot e-408?
The BMW iX2 costs £7,550 more than the Peugeot e-408. For that premium it adds 35 miles more WLTP range and 54 litres more boot space. The Peugeot e-408 is not just cheaper - it also offers a 1.0s quicker 0-62mph time. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the BMW iX2 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the BMW iX2 or the Peugeot e-408?
The Peugeot e-408 is £7,550 cheaper to buy. The BMW iX2 is cheaper to charge, roughly £136 a year versus £176 for the Peugeot e-408, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Peugeot e-408 comes out roughly £7,350 cheaper overall. 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 Peugeot e-408 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 265 miles for the BMW iX2 and 177 miles for the Peugeot e-408 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The BMW iX2 goes roughly 88 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the BMW iX2 or the Peugeot e-408?
The two are within 14 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 541 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-408. The Peugeot e-408 also turns in a 0.7 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 Peugeot e-408?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the BMW iX2 and 84% for the Peugeot e-408. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
