BMW announces first ever iX1 with 313hp

There’s been an X1 in the BMW range since 2009 now, so it’s probably fair to say the gamble on a small BMW SUV has paid off. Not least with more than 200,000 a year now being sold globally. Now the third, U11 generation car will aim to push that number higher with an all-electric iX1 included for the very first time. What, you expected an M car?

Using BMW’s newest and spangliest fifth-gen eDrive electric tech , the iX1 should deliver a WLTP range between 257 and 272 miles. Which is a lot of trips to John Lewis, though predictably short of the 331 miles of WLTP range that Tesla quotes for its AWD version of the Model Y.

It looks horrific

It still needs a dark colour and de-chroming the barbecue stuck to the front, but it isn’t as bad as most of their recent offerings. 🤔
