BMW iX1 review | Road Test

As BMW’s latest EV SUV, the BMW iX1 has a lot to live up to and plenty of premium-brand rivals to compete with. But with a tried-and-tested platform, some more conventional looks, and an impressive range of 270 miles, the iX1 has a lot to offer those looking for a premium electric SUV.
Despite only starting production in 2022, the iX1 is already making a name for itself in the all-important EV market - and it’s easy to see why! Boasting an impressive 0-62mph of 5.6, a luxurious interior and innovative technology, Duncan Vincent will have his job cut out for him to get through everything this impressive and innovative electric EV has to offer in just ten minutes.
From its sublime looks to its smooth-as-butter drive, join Duncan as he explores the ins and outs of the iX1 in this episode of Arnold Clark Road Test.

Loved the review. I ordered mine. It will be mine in November... can't wait!

[@ArnoldClarkAutos]

Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed the review. Duncan had a great time with the car. The amount of kit on it is incredible. November isn't too long to wait. We'd love to know what you think of it when you get it.

I don't believe you can remove the blue from the BMW badge however you can remove the other blue highlights from the front and back.

[@MM-tt7hy]

Correct

[@DavidSmith-eh9im]

I just got my 2024 BMW ix1 a few days ago, a valentines gift from my husband❤

[@ArnoldClarkAutos]

That is a generous gift. Where did you meet your husband? Asking for a friend.

[@Danny_Roman.]

Very nice motor 😊

[@HishamX]

this or audi a4 electric 2024?

[@ArnoldClarkAutos]

This!

[@HishamX]

@@ArnoldClarkAutos Sorry i just realised a typo in the OP, it was an Audi Q4 not A4 and it’s on motability scheme. £3999 deposit for the audi Q4 and £4,500 deposit for this ix1 Which does more miles on full charge

[@ArnoldClarkAutos]

It all comes down to personal preference and requirements, but it's definitely worth talking to your local Motability specialist and they'll be able to give you advice to help find the perfect car for you.

[@amitavraja3385]

My first EV on leasing. This or Q4?🤔

[@briansanchez3898]
