2026 BMW iX1 xDrive30 Automatic

The 2026 BMW iX1 xDrive30 brings electric power, compact SUV practicality and BMW’s driver-focused approach together in a polished package. As a new vehicle with no kilometres displayed on the odometer, it presents as a current-generation electric SUV in Alpine White, complemented by a Cognac interior.

Its electric all-wheel-drive system is paired with an automatic transmission and a quoted output of 225 kW (306 hp). That combination gives the iX1 xDrive30 a strong performance focus while retaining the quiet, smooth character expected of an electric vehicle. The listed 0–100 km/h acceleration figure of 5.60 seconds further identifies this as the performance-oriented version of the iX1 range, while the 180 km/h maximum speed is stated in the vehicle specifications.

The SUV body style provides a useful balance between a compact footprint and everyday flexibility. Five seats make the cabin suitable for carrying passengers, while the upright format should make access and visibility straightforward. Inside, electric seat adjustment with memory and heating for the driver and front passenger add useful convenience for regular use, while the Cognac upholstery colour gives the cabin a distinctive finish.

This example is specified with the M Sport package, which brings a more purposeful visual treatment through M Sport exterior and interior elements, a leather steering wheel, anthracite headliner, sport seats and Aluminium Hexacube Pale M interior trim. M High-Gloss Shadow Line details and high-gloss Shadow Line roof rails reinforce the exterior theme, while the Alpine White paint provides a clean contrast to the darker trim.

Technology and assistance equipment are a major part of the specification. Driving Assistant Professional is designed to support the driver across a range of road situations, while the Equipment package Professional adds Parking Assistant Plus, adaptive LED headlights, High-Beam Assistant, Comfort Access and a BMW Head-Up Display. BMW Live Cockpit Professional provides the central interface, and the Personal eSIM, DAB+ tuner and wireless charging storage support connected daily driving.

The vehicle also includes adaptive M Suspension, offering an electronically managed chassis specification intended to complement the iX1’s performance character. BMW IconicSounds Electric and acoustic pedestrian protection address the distinctive sound environment of an electric vehicle, while Intelligent Emergency Calling and Active Pedestrian Protection add further safety-focused equipment. A tyre pressure monitor, tyre repair kit, warning triangle and anti-theft security system are also listed.

Charging equipment is included, with both a Mode 3 cable for public charging and a Mode 2 Flexible Charger for suitable domestic connections. AC Charging Professional supports charging at up to 22 kW where compatible infrastructure is available. The additional enhancement package adds a Harman Kardon HiFi loudspeaker system, heated steering wheel, active seats for the front occupants and a Panorama Glass Roof, broadening the vehicle’s comfort and touring appeal.
