BMW iX1 xDrive30 M Sport

About

The BMW iX1 xDrive30 M Sport is the all-electric iteration of the popular X1 SUV, and it brings a unique set of attributes to the table. Powered by a dual-motor all-wheel drive system, it produces 313PS and 494Nm of torque, making it the most powerful X1 variant available. The vehicle features a 64.7 kWh battery, which, although adding significant weight, ensures a smooth and silent driving experience. The interior is lavishly appointed with features like a 12-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, massage seats, and a panoramic sunroof, creating a luxurious ambiance. The iX1 also includes advanced safety features such as a 360-degree camera and basic collision warning, though it lacks some expected features like ventilated seats and a full ADAS suite. With its athletic stance, thanks to the 18-inch M Sport wheels, and its ability to deliver both comfort and performance, the iX1 is an attractive option for those looking to transition to an electric luxury vehicle.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The BMW iX1 xDrive30 M Sport is a compelling package for those seeking a blend of performance, luxury, and electric vehicle benefits. While it excels in terms of its smooth and rapid acceleration, with a 0-100 kmph time of just 5.6 seconds, it also offers a well-insulated and quiet cabin that feels premium. However, the vehicles weight, stemming from its 64.7 kWh battery, affects its handling, making it less agile in corners compared to its ICE counterparts. The rear seat comfort is another area that could be improved, as the fixed rear seats due to the electric motor limit legroom. Despite these drawbacks, the iX1s rich interior quality, advanced features like the 360-degree camera and panoramic sunroof, and its comfortable ride at low speeds make it a strong contender in the luxury EV segment. Yet, its pricing and the absence of certain features like ventilated seats and a full ADAS suite might make some potential buyers consider rival options.

Price

The BMW iX1 xDrive30 M Sport is priced at Rs. 66.90 lakh ex-showroom in India. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other charges, the price can easily exceed Rs. 70 lakh. This places the iX1 significantly higher than its diesel and petrol counterparts, as well as some of its electric rivals like the Volvo XC40 Recharge. While the premium pricing reflects the vehicles luxurious features and performance capabilities, it may deter some buyers who are looking for better value for money. However, for those who prioritize the unique blend of electric power and BMWs signature driving experience, the iX1s price might be justifiable.

Latest Updates

Monday, 23 September 2024 01:24 PM The BMW iX1 facelift has been spotted testing in Europe, showing subtle changes, particularly at the front with a slightly larger blanked-off grille and similar bumper design to the current model. The camouflaged badges and M Sport package suggest a sportier variant might be in the works. I believe these minor tweaks could make a significant difference in the vehicles appeal, especially with the growing competition in the electric SUV segment.

Monday, 23 September 2024 11:50 PM BMW is expected to launch the facelifted iX1 globally late next year, with the Indian market likely to follow suit in 2026 or later. The current xDrive 30 M Sport variant in India is priced at Rs 66.90 lakh, and the facelift might retain a similar price point. I think the delayed launch in India could give other competitors a temporary edge, but BMWs loyal customer base will still be eager for the update.

Friday, 29 March 2024 06:03 PM The BMW iX1 xDrive30 M Sport continues to impress with its advanced technology, including the BMW iDrive system with dual displays and adaptive M suspension. The vehicle also features a smart home charging kit and preferential subscriptions with charging networks, making it a convenient choice for EV enthusiasts. I believe the integration of such advanced tech makes the iX1 a strong contender in the luxury EV market.

Friday, 29 March 2024 04:27 PM BMW has quietly updated the kidney grille of the iX1, aligning it with the design of the iX2. This change is seen on both the eDrive20 and xDrive30 models, including those with the M Sport Package. I think this subtle design adjustment helps maintain a consistent look across BMWs electric lineup.

Friday, 15 March 2024 11:09 PM The BMW iX1 xDrive30 M Sport offers a range of up to 270 miles on a full charge and can charge from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes using a fast charger. The vehicles aerodynamic design and efficient powertrain make it a practical choice for daily driving. I believe the combination of performance and efficiency makes the iX1 an attractive option for those looking to transition to electric vehicles.

Mileage

Monday, 18 November 2024 02:30 PM The BMW iX1 xDrive30 M Sport boasts an impressive electric range, with a claimed figure of 440 km on a single charge. In real-world testing, it has been observed to deliver around 323-350 km, which is quite respectable given the vehicles performance-oriented nature. The charging times are also commendable, with a 10-80 charge achievable in just 29 minutes using a 130 kW DC fast charger, and a full charge taking about 6.3 hours with an 11 kW AC charger. This range and charging efficiency make the iX1 a viable option for daily driving as well as occasional long trips, provided you have access to adequate charging infrastructure.
