BMW's entry-level electric SUV has landed

The 2023 BMW iX1 is the German firm's entry-level electric SUV.

At first glance, you might not spot too much about the all-new iX1 to set it apart from any other version of the X1 compact SUV: as far as looks go, it's hardly any different. However, this new version comes with an all-electric drivetrain, and as such, goes head-to-head with other premium electric SUVs such as the Audi Q4 E-Tron and Mercedes-Benz EQA.

The numbers look reasonably encouraging, too. For your £52,500 (approx), you get a roomy compact SUV with a 500-litre boot, and that is capable of 0-62mph in around five seconds thanks to its twin electric motors that deliver 308bhp to all four wheels. Maximum claimed range is given at 257 miles, and you can rapid charge it at up to 150kW, meaning a 100-mile top-up in 15 minutes, or a 10%-80% charge in around 30 minutes.

In this CarGurus UK video review, Vicky Parrot travels to Denmark to experience BMW's new electric offering, and evaluates its practicality, quality, technology and what it's like to drive.

Pros
Very classy interior and infotainment system
Good to drive
Efficiency is pretty good

Cons
Not as versatile as some rivals
An expensive option in the class
Dimensions aren't as compact as they once were

The CarGurus verdict
The BMW iX1 is a seriously comprehensive premium SUV that offers the best infotainment and cabin finish in the class. It’s also a sophisticated car to drive yet a practical family car, so it has the essentials wrapped up. However, it’s inundated with rivals, from the Nissan Ariya, Skoda Enyaq iV and Hyundai Ioniq 5 through the Mercedes EQA, Audi Q4 e-tron and Tesla Model Y, and plenty more, besides.

Amongst those rivals are cars that offer a roomier interior and longer driving range at a lower price, but if the premium badge and lustre that it brings is an important factor to you (and we can see why it would be) then the BWM iX1 should be very near the top of your electric family SUV list.
