2026 BMW iX1 xDrive30 Automatic

The 2026 BMW iX1 xDrive30 is a compact electric SUV that combines a practical five-seat cabin with BMW's all-wheel-drive electric powertrain. With zero kilometres displayed, this new example is presented in Fire Red metallic with a black interior and an automatic transmission. Its 230 kW electric system and quoted 0-100 km/h time of 5.60 seconds give the iX1 a distinctly performance-focused character, while the SUV format keeps everyday usability at the centre of the package.

Electric propulsion brings quiet, immediate progress and a straightforward driving experience, and the xDrive system provides power to all four wheels. The iX1 is also equipped for a variety of charging situations, with both a Mode 3 cable for public charging and a Flexible Charger for Mode 2 connections. Its AC Charging Professional system supports charging at up to 22 kW where compatible infrastructure is available.

The specification places a strong emphasis on comfort and driver assistance. Electric seat adjustment with memory allows the preferred driving position to be easily retained, while heated front seats and a heated steering wheel add useful warmth in colder conditions. The listed Active Seat equipment is intended to add further support on longer journeys. Comfort Access enables keyless convenience, and the panoramic glass roof helps bring extra light into the passenger compartment.

Inside, the iX1 features BMW Live Cockpit Professional and a BMW Head-Up Display, allowing key driving information to be viewed with less need to look away from the road. The Equipment Package Professional also includes Parking Assistant Plus, High-Beam Assistant, adaptive LED headlights, an exterior mirror package, wireless charging storage and an interior rear-view mirror with automatic anti-dazzle function. Together, these features support easier manoeuvring, improved visibility and a more relaxed daily driving routine.

Driving Assistant Professional adds an advanced layer of active safety and driver support, complemented by intelligent emergency calling, active pedestrian protection and acoustic pedestrian protection. A tyre pressure monitor, tyre repair kit, anti-theft security system and warning triangle are also listed. The iX1's technology-focused character extends to its personal eSIM, DAB+ tuner and BMW IconicSounds Electric, which provides an electronic acoustic identity for the vehicle.

The M Sport specification gives this iX1 a more purposeful presentation, with M Sport exterior and interior parts, a leather M steering wheel, an anthracite M headliner, sport seats and Aluminium Hexacube Pale M interior trim. High-Gloss Shadow Line detailing is applied to the M Sport equipment, while the vehicle also includes M roof rails and adaptive M suspension. A Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system completes the listed enhancement package.

With its compact SUV proportions, five-seat layout, all-wheel-drive electric powertrain and broad technology equipment, this iX1 presents a well-rounded interpretation of BMW's electric mobility range. The combination of charging hardware, digital cockpit features, comfort equipment and performance-oriented M Sport details makes it suited to drivers seeking an electric vehicle with a premium cabin and a more engaging specification.

Other highlights include Drive train: All Wheel Drive; Engine or motor: 230 kW (313 hp) electric.
