Separately, BMW UK mentions the new electric crossover “will arrive shortly after the market launch of the all-new BMW X1”. The firm’s British side also reveals the smallest X will once again come in a plug-in hybrid flavor. Comparing the two teasers, it looks as though the headlights will have different LED daytime running lights.

Since the X1 will stick to the front-wheel-drive formula, it’s not going to receive an M version. However, an M Performance model is in the works and it will have quad exhaust tips. Logic tells us it will inherit the powertrain from the M135i, X2 M35i, and M235i Gran Coupe. In other words, it’ll have a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-pot making around 300 horsepower to fight the AMG GLA 35.

As for the iX1, it will ride on the same platform as the ICE-powered model. The same BMW UK site reveals a maximum WLTP range of 272 miles (438 kilometers). However, that’s not the final number since it represents only an estimation made based on prototypes. Ideally, the final production model will be able to beat those figures.
