“While not as innovative as the i3 it indirectly replaces, the BMW iX1 is a very well-put-together EV with an excellent powertrain and a suitably premium-feeling cabin that helps justify some strong pricing.”

“You lose next to no boot capacity by choosing the electric version, but the X1’s sliding rear seats aren’t available on the BMW iX1 and the EV loses a little bit of rear legroom.” (Illya Verpraet)

“Compare the BMW iX1 to its closest competitors – the Mercedes EQA and Audi Q4 e-Tron – and it has them both licked. So, despite looking resolutely normal, the iX1 manages to inject a bit of spice into electric crossover ownership, while managing to feel like more of a premium product.” (Jake Groves)

“It’s another electric SUV from BMW, but the iX1 is the sweetest of the bunch. It’s the cheapest, for starters, kicking off at a mite over £52,000. It also offers four-wheel-drive, something the larger and more expensive iX3 currently doesn’t.”

“The BMW iX1 brings BMW all-electric SUV motoring to more of a mass audience than the BMW iX3 or the BMW iX, but it still has all the qualities that you would expect from a BMW.” (Paul Clarke)

“The BMW iX1 is perhaps the ultimate electric family SUV. It looks sharp, is easy to drive and has a stunning interior – while it’s also satisfyingly normal, which means it won’t feel like a shock to the system when you trade in your Nissan Qashqai.”

“Overall, the BMW iX1 is a very recommendable electric family SUV. The range and efficiency are decent, and practicality is good compared to most of its rivals. Most of all, the interior finish and tech are really excellent, so if you want a useful family car that’s got serious, high-end executive classiness, this is a great option.” (Vicky Parrott)

“The BMW iX1 is a practical choice and its performance is impressive. Sadly, it’s let down by an overly firm ride and a high price – although cheaper variants will be offered in the future.”
