The 2023 BMW iX1 is the Bavarian brand's smallest EV:
The iX1 is being introduced in dual-motor all-wheel-drive form, carrying xDrive30 branding . The motors turning each axle are identical but for a slightly lower gear ratio for the single-speed reduction at the back. Combined peak output is 308 horsepower and 364 pound-feet of torque. Power comes from a 64.7-kWh battery pack under the floor that gives a range of 266 miles under Europe's flattering WLTP testing protocol—likely below 240 miles under the EPA's more rigorous procedure.
24 cubic feet of cargo space—virtues that will remain for the U.S.-bound, gasoline-powered X1 xDrive28i, which actually gets a little more cargo room at 25.7 cubic feet.The iX1 gets a 10.3-inch digital instrument display as standard, plus a 10.7-inch curved touchscreen, both running the new BMW 8 operating system. This looks nice and operates snappily, but it does mean the demise of both physical heating controls and the useful row of customizable function keys BMW previously offered.
That's because refinement is impressive. The cabin is well insulated at both urban and highway speeds, and despite a chunky 4600-pound weight—more than 800 pounds heavier than the X1 xDrive28i—ride quality remained good even over the bump-strewn British byways where we drove the car. The iX1 rides on passive dampers, but, like those in the G20-generation 3-series, they can hydraulically vary effort under large suspension travel.
