Overview
The 2026 BMW iX1 xDrive30 is a five-seat electric SUV with all-wheel drive, priced from $77,900 RRP, which is the recommended retail price before on-road costs. It runs a 64.7kWh battery with a claimed WLTP range of 417km, uses 20.2kWh/100km, and takes DC fast charging at a peak of 130kW. Boot space is 490 litres with the rear seats up and 1,495 litres with them folded, and it's rated to tow 1,200kg braked. The one thing to keep in mind is that 1,200kg braked towing figure, which suits a small trailer more than a big van. It makes sense for a small family or couple who want an electric SUV with all-wheel drive and a usable boot.

The 2026 BMW iX1 eDrive20 is $78,900 RRP, which is the recommended retail price, before on-road costs. For that you get a 5-seat electric SUV with a 64.7kWh battery, a 430km (WLTP) range and DC fast charging peaks at 130kW. Energy use is rated at 15.7kWh/100km, and the boot holds 490 litres with the seats up or 1,495 litres with the rear seats folded. It drives the front wheels, and it suits a small family or a couple who want an electric SUV that can still tow a modest load.
