The BMW iX1 eDrive20 has been unveiled today as the second all-electric model variant of the compact SAV after the BMW iX1 xDrive30. It is an economical entry into the world of premium electric mobility and will be available from the start of production in November 2023 at a recommended retail price of 47,900 euros (incl. VAT). Both models are manufactured at the BMW Group plant in Regensburg.

BMW iX1 eDrive20 uses the current fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology and is fitted with a 150 kW motor delivering instant 247 Nm of torque. The compact SAV accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 170 km/h. The high-voltage battery, which is housed in the vehicle floor to save space, has a usable energy content of 64.7 kWh. Its high energy density, together with the efficiency of the e-motor, contributes to the car’s favorable power consumption (17.2 – 15.4 kWh/100 km combined) and delivers an excellent range compared to the competition - 430-475 km.

The Combined Charging Unit of the new BMW iX1 eDrive20 enables AC charging with up to 11 kW as standard. This allows the high-voltage battery to be charged from zero to 100 percent of its capacity within 6.5 hours. Three-phase AC charging with an output of up to 22 kW is optionally available. This reduces charging time to 3:45 hours. The battery can be charged using direct current with a power of up to 130 kW. The battery's state of charge can be increased from 10 to 80 percent within 29 minutes at a fast charging station.

The new BMW iX1 eDrive20 offers a comprehensive range of standard equipment, including the BMW Maps navigation system, 2-zone automatic air conditioning, numerous modern driver assistance systems, the Parking Assistant including Reversing Assist Camera and numerous innovative digital services. The BMW Curved Display is the heart of the display and control system. It consists of a 10.25-inch Information Display and a Control Display with a screen diagonal of 10.7 inches under a common glass surface curved towards the driver. The new BMW iDrive with "QuickSelect" and the new BMW Operating System 9 are also standard equipment.
