You already know that the roadmap of all car manufacturers is aimed at electrification. To a greater or lesser extent, the automotive industry is working at full speed to change the way we get around every day. BMW is, without a doubt, one of the most involved in this process as is evident in its family of electric vehicles, which includes, among others, the spectacular i4, i7 and iX1. Now, this saga welcomes with open arms two new members, the i5, the plug-in version of the Series 5 that advertises up to 579 kilometers of autonomy, and the iX2, the coupe and sports brother of the X1 SUV.
Precisely, the iX2 will be one of the protagonists of the electromobility day that Car and Driver and BMW have organized at the company’s headquarters in Madrid. There, the experts from our magazine and those from the brand are waiting for you who will help you learn about this important technology first-hand that the new Mini Countryman also has.

Carlos is an expert journalist in cars and automotives with a career in the media for more than 16 years. He landed at Car and Driver in 2007, where his main occupation is product testing, which he shows to the audience through videos on YouTube and extensive web and paper analyzes of the latest news presented. As a motor enthusiast that he is, you can also read him interviewing different leaders in the sector, giving you the latest news related to driving and telling you the most surprising curiosities about the leading brands.
His extensive career also includes work in other media such as El Mundo, Coche Actual and AutoScout24, and he made his first appearance on television in the interview program “El Círculo Neox”, broadcast on the Atresmedia channel of the same name. Long before that, practically as a child, he was a reader of Car and Driver, when the masthead was directed by the Formula 1 driver Emilio de Villota, with whom he was lucky enough to work.
Within the Hearst España publishing group, Carlos has written the motor sections of magazines such as Qué Me Dices, Emprendedores and deViajes and now he does it every day in Car and Driver and occasionally in Esquire. If he is not in the office, you will find him on a plane heading to any part of the world with one purpose: to drive the latest novelty on the market, whether it has batteries or not. Ah! And he is a fervent defender of the classics, although he no longer has his Volkswagen Golf GTI mk3.
Thanks to his work, he has been lucky enough to race a Mercedes-AMG GT in Laguna Seca and has made his debut as a driver on the legendary Nordschleife driving a BMW M2. He has also known such exotic places as the Dhofar mountains in Oman, which he traveled aboard an Audi RS 3 Sedan; the spectacular Vancouver Island, where he traveled in a Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo; and the beaches of Essaouira thanks to the wild Ford Ranger Raptor.
