Obviously, the BMW iX1 is based on the third-generation BMW X1, which also just debuted<\/a>. While that means the iX1 is still based on a conventional chassis, and not a bespoke EV architecture, BMW’s new FAAR front-wheel drive platform was developed with electrification in mind. Plus, its front-wheel drive layout offers more space for a battery pack in the floor than a rear-drive layout, while also providing more passenger space.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n At the start, there will only be one model–the BMW iX1 xDrive30. Being an xDrive model, it has two electric motors, one at each axle, which combine to make 308 horsepower (230 kW) and 364 lb-ft (494 Nm) of torque. BMW claims a 0-62 mph (0-100 km\/h) time of 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 112 mph (180 km\/h). Providing the electricity to make that happen is a 64.7 kWh (usable) battery pack which, according to the WLTP cycle, should provide 413\u2013438 km (257 \u2013 272 miles) of range.<\/p>\n Interestingly, the BMW iX1 lacks the charge speed of its older, more expensive siblings. Both the BMW i4 and iX can charge at 200 kW but the iX1’s max charge speed is just 130 kw. Although, due to its small-ish battery pack, it can refill its battery relatively quickly, even without hyper-fast charging. At that 130 kW charging speed, BMW claims 10-80 percent state of charge can be replenished in 29 minutes. Or, if you’re in a pinch and pressed for time, it will recharged 75 miles worth of driving range in just ten minutes, while charging at top speed.<\/p>\n438km Range<\/h3>\n
