Projected value of a new BMW iX
We class the BMW iX as a premium ev in our 12-tier model, which puts its retention at roughly 44% after three years and 30% after five. Battery anxiety, charging doubts and seven-figure prices make premium EVs the steepest depreciators in the country. A few cult EVs beat this curve via overrides.

The iX has been BMW South Africa's electric flagship SUV since late 2021. Polarising looks and a price above two million rand limit it to a small buyer pool. Early examples have lost value dramatically, as is typical of big EVs in this market.
