BMW IX1
SMALL SUV
WATT MATTERS?
The iX1 makes electric BMW ownership feel familiar: compact SUV shape, premium badge and brisk dual-motor performance. Its challenge is a crowded field of electric SUVs offering more space or range for less money.
THE BASICS
The Australian xDrive30 uses a 64.8kWh battery, all-wheel drive and claims up to 400km WLTP. Earlier rear-drive stock may still appear, so specifications and price should be matched to the actual car.
