CarTell take
We haven't driven the iX1 yet. On paper, the iX1 is now xDrive30 M Sport only at $77,900 plus on-roads, well above mainstream small electric SUVs. Cross shop the Volvo EX30 and Cupra Born if budget is the priority.
Why consider it
- Genuine BMW premium feel in a compact electric SUV package, 475 km WLTP range on eDrive20, and the xDrive30 delivers a 5.7 second 0 to 100 km/h.
What to know
- 130 kW DC peak is behind newer 200 kW plus rivals like the EX30 and Q4 e-tron.
- Glovebox and centre console space is compromised by platform packaging.
Who it suits
Urban couples and small families who want a compact premium EV with genuine BMW polish and 475 km of WLTP range.
