Summary
The BMW iX1 eDrive20 (MY26) is a 5-seat SUV with front-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £33,315. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8.6 seconds, slower than 78% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 249 miles (400 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 46% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 131st of 242 SUVs.
It uses around 3.8 mi/kWh (163 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 65.2 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 95 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 267 miles (429 km) at motorway speeds.
It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it does not support vehicle-to-load (V2L). The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.
Its UK starting price works out at £134 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).
