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 see a lot of posts saying 2020 is the best year and 2021+ suffer from lower quality, etc. Is this really significant? I’m looking for another X7 now and was going to try to find a 2022, 2021 at the oldest. Mainly so I’ll have at least a year of warranty left to go with the CPO. Forget the options deletions, for the purpose of this question. Would you guys say the differences are enough to buy a 2020 over a 2021-2022, assuming the mileage is the same, even if you have to then fool with finding a third party warranty? Shopping for an M50.
