The BMW iX1 eDrive20 enables a particularly attractive and at the same time economical entry into the world of premium electric mobility. The second all-electric model variant of the compact SAV is powered by an electric motor with a maximum output of 150 kW/204 hp (with temporary boost) and has a range of 430 to 475 kilometres (provisional values according to WLTP). By expanding its range in the premium compact segment, the BMW Group is opening up locally emission-free driving pleasure to broad target groups and thus providing additional impetus for the ramp-up of e-mobility. The new BMW iX1 eDrive20 will be available from the start of production in November 2023 at a recommended retail price of 47,900 euros (incl. VAT).
As in all of the brand's current electric vehicles, the new BMW iX1 eDrive20 also uses the current fifth generation BMW eDrive technology. A highly integrated drive unit on the front axle of the new entry-level model generates an instantaneously available maximum torque of 247 Nm in addition to the maximum output of 150 kW/204 hp. The compact SAV accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 170 km/h.
The high-voltage battery, which is housed in the vehicle floor to save space, has a usable energy content of 64.7 kWh. Its high energy density, together with the efficiency of the e-motor, contributes to the the car's favourable power consumption and delivers an excellent range compared to the competition. The Combined Charging Unit of the new BMW iX1 eDrive20 enables AC charging with up to 11 kW as standard. This allows the high-voltage battery to be charged from zero to 100 percent of its capacity within 6.5 hours. Three-phase AC charging with an output of up to 22 kW is optionally available. This reduces charging time to 3:45 hours. The battery can be charged using direct current with a power of up to 130 kW. The battery's state of charge can be increased from 10 to 80 percent within 29 minutes at a fast charging station.
