2026 BMW iX1 xDrive30 Automatic

The 2026 BMW iX1 xDrive30 brings electric power and compact SUV practicality together in a premium package. With zero kilometres displayed, this new vehicle is presented in Alpine White with a Black interior and pairs its electric drivetrain with all-wheel drive and an automatic transmission.

Its dual-motor-style performance specification is represented by a quoted 230 kW output and a claimed 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.60 seconds, giving the iX1 a brisk character while retaining the upright seating position and everyday usability expected of an SUV. The 180 km/h maximum speed is also listed among the manufacturer specifications. As an electric vehicle, the iX1 avoids the need for a conventional petrol engine and includes equipment intended to support both home and public charging.

Charging flexibility is a clear strength of this example. It includes a Mode 3 cable for public charging and a Flexible Charger for Mode 2 connections, while the AC Charging Professional system is specified for 22 kW charging. The listing does not provide a driving-range figure, so range suitability will depend on the vehicle's final configuration, driving conditions and charging access.

The cabin combines practical technology with comfort-focused equipment. Electric front-seat adjustment with memory, heating for the driver and front passenger, a heated steering wheel and active seats are included. A panoramic glass roof contributes to the cabin ambience, while the M leather steering wheel, anthracite M headliner, M Sport interior parts and Aluminium Hexacube Pale M trim give the interior a more distinctive presentation.

Technology is another major part of the specification. The Equipment package Professional adds BMW Live Cockpit Professional, a Head-Up Display, adaptive LED headlights, High-Beam Assistant and an automatically dimming interior rear-view mirror. Comfort Access is included for easier entry, while Wireless Charging Storage, a Personal eSIM and DAB+ radio broaden the vehicle's connectivity and convenience functions. The Parking Assistant Plus system is also listed, supporting low-speed manoeuvring and parking duties.

Driver assistance equipment includes Driving Assistant Professional, Intelligent Emergency Calling, active pedestrian protection and acoustic pedestrian protection. These systems are designed to add support in different driving situations, although their operation and availability should be confirmed against the vehicle supplied. A tyre pressure monitor, tyre repair kit, warning triangle and anti-theft security system are also specified.

On the exterior, the M Sport treatment includes M Sport body elements, M High-Gloss Shadow Line detailing and high-gloss Shadow Line roof rails. Adaptive M Suspension is fitted, providing a more focused chassis specification, while BMW IconicSounds Electric adds an audio component to the electric driving experience. The overall package is completed by a Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system and the available M Sport equipment.

With five seats, SUV body styling, all-wheel drive and a substantial technology package, this iX1 is configured as a versatile premium electric vehicle rather than a stripped-back entry model. Its combination of compact dimensions, charging equipment, performance hardware and comfort features gives it broad day-to-day functionality, while the M Sport and Professional packages add visual distinction and a higher level of cabin and driver-assistance equipment.
