The inside of my wife’s 2024 iX is louder both stopped and on the highway, and the light hum of the electric engine is more noticeable than the V8 in mine as long as you turn down the fake engine noise.

I can’t recall if it was 2020 or 2021. I half wonder if the piped in engine noise was turned up or there was an exhaust leak or something. It was quiet at cruising speed but under throttle, the bass of the motor intruded heavily and under throttle you could barely keep conversation as it was very intrusive. The 40i had similar pep to 30-40mph but then the the V8 shined through until I let go where as the 40i acceleration rate started to slow down heavily at about 85mph.
