BMW iX1 (2023-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very classy interior and infotainment system	Not as versatile as some rivals
Good to drive	An expensive option in the class
Efficiency is pretty good	Dimensions aren't as compact as they once were

Quick Summary

The BMW iX1 (2023-present) is the brand's smallest and most affordable electric SUV. It has grown in size, now competing with mid-sized family SUVs. Available in two versions, the front-wheel-drive eDrive20 offers up to 293 miles of range, while the all-wheel-drive xDrive30 provides more power. Its standout feature is a luxurious and tech-rich cabin, heavily inspired by the larger, more expensive BMW iX, giving it a truly premium feel that sets it apart from many rivals.

On the road, the iX1 is smooth, confident, and very quick, particularly the xDrive30 model. While comfortable, especially with the standard adaptive suspension on most trims, it lacks the engaging handling BMW is famous for. Practicality is decent with a 490-litre boot and adequate rear passenger space, though some rivals offer more room. Despite being an expensive option in its class, the iX1 is a comprehensive package for those who prioritise a premium badge and a high-quality interior.

Best for: Buyers who value a premium badge, a class-leading interior finish, and sophisticated technology in their electric family car.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking the most engaging handling, or those who need maximum interior space and versatility over brand prestige.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the iX1 if: You value a premium badge, a class-leading interior finish, and sophisticated technology in your electric family car.

Consider alternatives if: You are seeking the most engaging handling, or need maximum interior space and versatility over brand prestige.

Competitive Position: The BMW iX1 is a compelling premium electric SUV, defined by its exceptional cabin quality and advanced infotainment. While it drives with sophistication and offers good practicality, it faces strong competition from rivals like the Tesla Model Y and Audi Q4 e-tron, which can provide more interior space or a longer range. The iX1's key strength lies in its luxurious feel and brand appeal, making it a top choice for buyers prioritising a premium experience.
