With the ignition on, seen a part of the dashboard graphic on the driver's side of the unique curved display , with the speedometer on the left.

The five-seat SUV, which was previewed by the Vision iNext concept, will offer up to 500bhp from two electric motors that drive all four wheels. According to BMW’s R&D boss, Frank Weber, it will have a 0-62mph time of less than five seconds and a range of more than 373 miles

while broadly similar in size to the X5 externally, the interior of the iX “offers accommodation and load-carrying space comparable to the X7”, thanks to the electric platform, which makes extensive use of carbon fibre in its construction.

The iX sends power to all four wheels; while the drive split hasn’t been specified it is expected to feature a typical rear bias. Top speed is above 124mph. The iX will be offered with different battery options with a “100kWh plus” unit fitted to the range-topping model. With a claimed average power consumption of 21.0kWh per 100km, that model will offer a range of more than 373 miles, compared to 286 miles offered by the iX3’s lithium-ion battery. Despite the extensive use of aluminium and carbon fibre, the large battery means the iX weighs what Weber described “as a good 2.5 tons”.

BMW iX1 to have at least two variants, up to 246 horsepower.

BMW’s electric offensive, which includes the launch of nine new electric models by 2025, has the BMW iX1 as its protagonist



The entry-level crossover in BMW’s range will move to its next-generation come 2021, and analysts reasonably expect the BMW iX1 to become available in the first half of 2022.

The third generation of the BMW X1, which goes by the codename BMW U11, will be underpinned by the modular FAAR (Frontantriebsarchitektur – which when translated to English reads as Front Wheel Drive architecture). The FAAR is designed from the ground up to be compatible with internal combustion engines, plug-in hybrids and all electric

The push to launch an affordable BMW electric vehicle in USA, such as the iX1, could not come sooner as the brand is seeing sales of its electric range drop in the States (BMW has stopped reporting sales numbers of its EVs in USA, it only releases the percentage of drop

the BMW iX1 will have at least two variants, possibly FWD and AWD. The base variant should get a single motor, and its maximum power will be 180 PS or 177 hp. The top-end variant, possibly with one motor at each axle, will offer a maximum power of 250 PS or 246 hp. The base variant’s motor could be an updated version of the BMW i3s’ 184 PS/181 hp unit.

The BMW iX1 is expected in 2022, a year after BMW launches the all-new X1.
