The electric BMW X1<\/a> likely won\u2019t be unveiled until late 2022, but a few details are starting to come out. BMW has been testing the iX1 since November 2020, so it\u2019s high time for the camouflage to drop. The FAAR-based crossover will look largely the same in ICE and EV flavors of the new BMW X1. A dedicated BMW page reveals today a few tidbits, such as a teaser image and the iX1’s codename \u2013 U11. By far the most important information is the maximum WLTP range of 413 to 438 kilometers (257 to 272 miles).<\/p>\n But these are not the final figures as BMW mentions they\u2019re predicted values based on the vehicle\u2019s current development status. Even so, we get a rough estimate of how much the iX1 will be able to travel before running out of juice. As with every other electric vehicle out there, range will depend on a number of factors. For example, the size of the wheels will negatively impact efficiency. In addition, the amount of equipment also matters since a fully loaded car weighs more and therefore it reduces range. With BMW estimating the iX1 will have an energy consumption of 17.3 kWh-18.4 WLTP, we can deduct the battery size.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The BMW iX1 should carry a battery with a net capacity of approximately 70 kWh. As expected, the pack is slightly smaller than that of the\u00a0iX3<\/a>, which has a usable capacity of 73.83 kWh. The iX xDrive40 has a battery with a net capacity of 71 kWh while the upper trims have a 105-kWh pack. We\u2019ve heard through the grapevine there will be a BMW iX1 xDrive30 with about 270 horsepower. It\u2019ll draw its necessary juice from an 80-kWh battery pack taken from the iX3. The all-wheel-drive model will be joined by an eDrive20 with a front-mounted motor, believed to be borrowed from the\u00a0MINI Cooper SE<\/a>.<\/p>\n BMW will start iX1 production in November, so the first customer deliveries should take place in early 2023.\u00a0It will be built in Leipzig, Germany alongside the mechanically related\u00a0MINI Countryman<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The electric BMW X1 likely won\u2019t be unveiled until late 2022, but a few details are starting to come out.
