The Takumi has Nappa leather seats and real white maple wood trim, which has a pale yellow hue and a age old Japanese stitching on the cloth area of the dash. Several cars I have looked at now have a full cloth dash and some certainly look better than others. Its a large car with a long front end which impacts interior space and the wide centre console doesn’t help, although I liked this. Pop the bonnet and the 4cyl engine looks lost in the engine bay, making you wonder why the front of the car is so long however, there is a 3.3l inline 6 diesel version of the CX-60 which soon fills the space.
That makes sense. The bonnet did seem quite long and this definitely resulted in smaller cabin space. When I set the front seats for myself, the legroom in the rear was less than in the X1.
I’ve just found a newly posted video review of the BMW iX1 20e (the first I could find) and the guy set it at 120kmh (74 mph) on cruise control and only got 201 miles range. He thought that was quite good, but that’s only one third of the range that we get on our 2.0i petrol X1. I really hope that the PHEV X1 joins the scheme next month (or, better still, the conventional petrol X1) as I am anxious about the poor real world range of an EV and I would find having to make charging stops on longer journeys a real chore.
