edit: Just a shame that windshield hasn't acoustic protection, the wind noise is annoying, even my old peugeot 207 has that.

I know the side windows don't have it, which isn't great.
VincentHannah wroteModern windscreen are usually laminated , but acoustic windscreens also have additional sound film as part of the lamination process. IIRC the G05 acoustic windscreens is .4mm thicker than the normal laminated windscreen.onesoul wroteYou sure the windscreen doesn't have it?

Myrs wroteMine has hankook 20 inch 1047 rims as well, I don't think i ever noticed any road noise. And to be fair it has been very windy since yesterday, You can have a normal conversation with no problems, is not that bad, and listening to music can help camouflage that noise, it seemed to make no difference of that Whoosh noise at 140kmh or 170kmh. It just makes no sense to me that a car so good in so many ways doesn't have acoustic windshield, i would go for that 1000x instead of ventilated seats for example.onesoul wroteGood result!Same trip back was with 3 little children in the back and a full loaded trunk. 150kmh, 140kmh and 130kmh, not bad i think.

I've ordered iX3 M sport,space silver with 1047 rims. Reading various reviews by youtubers or real owners, everything is more or less acceptable by now-there are some things which would surely annoy me,but I think I could live with them.
However,my main concern is the wind and road noise in the cabin. Many of reviewers complain about it,so did you. Since this is a real deal breaker for me,please describe the feeling and the level of the cabin noise when driving at highway speed 130-150km/h. Is it too much,or is it just a humm,can you make normal conversation or it makes it difficult to talk or listen to music at normal sound levels?Also,please advise the tire brand,since it may have a considerable impact on the cabin noise. Thanks
MontyB1 wroteI think Cayenne EV has active aero for that reasonSeems to be the case as it reduces drag not adds to it (depending on the design obviously.)
Scandinavian wroteMakes sense. I am wondering about the measurements of iX at same speeds.iX3 consumption average speed
100 kmh. 20 kWh/100 540 km
120 kmh. 23 kWh/100. 473 km
130 kmh. 25. 440 km
140 kmh. 29 375 km Temp 6 C
140 kmh. ? 400+ km Temp 17 C
160 kmh. 36 302 km
200 kmh. 50. 200 km
He experienced some challenges though with the 400 kW charging, so that the battery temperature rose to 57 C and throttled the charging speed??

Bike on bike rack 20-30% hit at least.

VincentHannah wroteThe original video i remembered was from Bjorn but as i skimmed over it now I realize that it isn't the exact same box in the before and after.ggalanis wrotePointy end towards the rear, not the front.

catalyst86 wroteIt will depend on the exact shape of each and every box and possibly even the vehicle it is used on; the reversed box in Bjorn's video doesn't look super odd and could be representative of many other boxes out there in terms of aerodynamics. I think if your box doesn't have the angle on the thick side that the OOS video one has, it is worth trying to reverse it to see especially if I were to leave the thing installed even when not really using it like many people tend to do.I watched both videos. The reversed box in the second video is indeed a box specifically designed to be mounted backwards. Thus, I would expect a normal box would be best mounted as normal.
catalyst86 wrotemost aero shape is a teardrop. fat in front, tapers to the back. everything that follows this shape is aero. doesn't matter if the design was intentional or accidental.I watched both videos.
