The BMW iX1 is a compact electric SUV in BMW’s i lineup. It sits in the premium compact segment and uses a five-door crossover body. The design and size match urban and suburban use, with seating for five and a raised driving position.

The iX1 uses a lithium-ion battery with usable capacity around the mid 60 kWh range, depending on variant. WLTP range reaches about 270 to 290 miles. Real world range drops with speed and cold weather. AC charging supports up to 11 kW for home and public chargers. DC fast charging peaks near 130 kW, taking the battery from low to 80 percent in about half an hour under ideal conditions.

Pricing places the iX1 above mass market compact EVs and below larger luxury electric SUVs. You pay for the badge, interior quality, and driving refinement. The iX1 suits buyers who want a premium compact SUV with electric drive for daily commuting and short trips. Alternatives include the Mercedes EQA and Volvo EX40. A direct comparison often comes up with the Tesla Model Y, which offers more space and range at a similar price in many markets.
