Overview
The iX1 is BMW's compact electric SUV for India, sold in a long-wheelbase (LWB) form tailored for the market — one of the few premium European electric SUVs on this site alongside the Volvo EX30 and MG Cyberster.
It runs a 66.4 kWh battery driving a dual-motor setup for 204 hp, 250 Nm and an ARAI range of 531 km — though BMW itself quotes a more conservative real-world figure of roughly 350 km in the city and 300 km on the highway, an unusually direct acknowledgment of the claimed-vs-real-world gap most manufacturers leave for a buyer to discover themselves. DC fast charging tops out at 130 kW, taking 10-80% in about 32 minutes.
