Like all of the brand's current electric vehicles, the new BMW iX1 eDrive20 uses the latest fifth-generation BMW eDrive technology. A highly integrated drive unit on the front axle of the new entry-level model generates a maximum torque of 247 Nm in addition to the maximum output of 150 kW/204 hp. The compact crossover accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.6 seconds. Its top speed is electronically limited to 170 km/h.
The high-voltage battery, located in the floor to save space, has a usable energy content of 64.7 kWh. Its high energy density, together with the efficiency of the electric motor, contributes to the car's favorable fuel consumption and provides an excellent range compared to the competition.
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 up to 22 kW is available as an option. This reduces the charging time to 3:45 hours. The battery can be charged with DC power up to 130 kW. The battery state of charge can be increased from 10 to 80 percent in 29 minutes at a fast charging station.
The new BMW iX1 eDrive20 comes with a wide range of standard equipment, including the BMW Maps navigation system, two-zone climate control, numerous driver assistance systems, Parking Assist including rear view camera and various digital services.
The new BMW iDrive with QuickSelect" and the new BMW Operating System 9 are also standard. It offers a wider range of digital content for information and entertainment, faster update cycles for over-the-air functions as well as optimized access to many specific online services such as third-party apps, enhanced navigation and parking services and additional personalization options such as additional My Modes. BMW Operating System 9 also enables customers to personalize the system to a high degree with additional digital services, which are available with the new BMW Digital Premium offer.
