BMW has introduced the all-electric iX1, promising a powerful and thrilling driving experience with its twin electric motors and impressive performance. The iX1 boasts a 313hp output, making it more powerful than its petrol and diesel counterparts. With a claimed 0-100kph time of just 5.6 seconds, the electric X1 delivers an exhilarating acceleration.

In terms of driving modes, the ‘Efficiency’ mode offers a smooth take-off and a linear build-up of torque, while the ‘Sport’ mode provides a thrilling performance with an explosive launch and instant surge of power. The four-wheel-drive setup ensures that the iX1 can effectively put down its power, offering a dynamic and enjoyable driving experience.

The 64.7kWh battery contributes to the weight of the iX1, exceeding two tonnes, but despite this, the electric SUV delivers a fun and engaging driving experience. Although the iX1 may not be the quickest in its segment, it certainly offers a compelling blend of power, performance, and driving dynamics.
