Real World Range - Msport 50

Driven my Msport 50 for about 500 miles now and thought I would share range so far - as I know many people will wonder what happens in the real world.

I am based in the UK and have 22” alloys - weather currently is quite cold and most driving has been between 2 and 5 degrees - I have the interior set to 22 degrees and I have mainly driven on the motorway so far - typically around 76 when conditions allow.

the average consumption so far is 2.4 mi/kWh - which translates into a range of 260 miles on a full charge.
I also have a Porsche Taycan and it also does around 2.4 typically - a bit higher in the summer.

Based on my year with the Taycan I would expect the iX to get to around 2.7 in the summer - so getting near to 300 mile range - based on my driving style. I am sure if I dropped my motorway speed a bit then it would increase more.

I bought it expecting 300 mile range and seems to be realistic based on normal driving and warmer weather.

Yes I am experiencing similar range
Keep the reports coming in!
Any other owners care to add in some range info?
Msport 40 (should be about the same as 50) with 20inch winter tyres, a few degrees minus. Mix between highway and city gives 23,8 kWh/100km equals 2,61 mi/kWh
After driving for these two months, is there any variation in the range? Can you please share if so?
3200 miles in my first month with mix of local and mostly highway and long roadtrips on 21". 2.4-2.5mi/kWh. I floor it on highway on-ramps and have hit the limiter a couple times on the way to Vegas (...the one in Mexico...)
Just over a month and a couple thousand miles in. In east Texas (high temps) 21” wheels and live rurally drive mostly 75-80 mph and seeing right at 300 mile range showing 2.6 miles/kWh on the dash. Drive mostly in efficient mode with adaptive regen in d mode
I just drove 500 miles, mostly highway driving at 77 mph, and my range has dropped since the beginning of the trip. Originally we were at 370 which then dropped to 325 which has now dropped to 285. I have it set for 100% charge during this trip and will reduce it back to 80%. Not sure why I have lost 100 miles in range within a couple of days….😢

Do you track your miles/kWh after each charge? If your average pre-trip was around 3.3 mi/kWh, but dropped to 2.75 (after many miles at 77 mph), that would account for the drop in estimated range, which factors in your most recent mi/kWh average.
