BMW iX1: which version to buy
There is only 1 generation of the BMW iX1 in this catalogue (from 2022-06-01, still in production), one body — SUV 5-doors — and 3 electric versions. Choice is not “which generation”; it is which of the three listed cars: iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 at 286 hp, iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 at 313 hp, or iX1 eDrive20 66.5 kWh at 204 hp. Price is not in this dataset.
There is only 1 generation of the BMW iX1 in this catalogue (from 2022-06-01, still in production), one body — SUV 5-doors — and 3 electric versions. Choice is not “which generation”; it is which of the three listed cars: iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 at 286 hp, iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 at 313 hp, or iX1 eDrive20 66.5 kWh at 204 hp. Price is not in this dataset. Range, mpg, engine capacity in cc, ground clearance, tank size, and wheel sizes are not measured. What is measured is power, torque, 0–100, top speed, drive, gearbox, kerb weight, and (on two cars) gross weight.
BMW iX1 specs: three versions, one generation
All three versions share Electro fuel, Electro motor type, Automatic gearbox with 1 speed, 494 Nm, 0 CO2, independent spring suspension front and rear, and ventilated disc brakes front and rear. Cylinder count, cylinder layout, and boost are not measured on every version — these are electric drivetrains, not displacement engines.
| Version | hp | kW | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 (286 hp) | 286 | 210 | 494 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic, 1 | AWD |
| iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 (313 hp) | 313 | 230 | 494 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic, 1 | AWD |
| iX1 eDrive20 66.5 kWh | 204 | 150 | 494 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic, 1 | FWD |
The two cars named iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 are not the same: 313 − 286 = 27 hp (230 − 210 = 20 kW). The third car, iX1 eDrive20 66.5 kWh, is 82 hp below the 286 hp xDrive30 and 109 hp below the 313 hp xDrive30 (210 − 150 = 60 kW; 230 − 150 = 80 kW). Torque does not separate them: every version is 494 Nm.
Battery labels in the names are 64.7 kWh on both xDrive30 cars and 66.5 kWh on the eDrive20 — 1.8 kWh more on the weaker, front-drive car. That is the only energy figure in the names; usable range is not measured.
BMW iX1 horsepower, hp and torque, xDrive30 horsepower
If the search is “BMW iX1 xDrive30 horsepower”, the catalogue answers twice: 286 hp / 210 kW or 313 hp / 230 kW. Same name, same 494 Nm, same AWD, same 5.7 s to 100, same 180 top speed, same 2255 kg kerb. The 313 hp listing is the only xDrive30 with a measured gross weight (2580 kg). The 286 hp listing has kerb 2255 kg and gross not measured.
Weight per horsepower (kerb ÷ hp):
- iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 (313 hp): 2255 / 313 ≈ 7.20 kg/hp
- iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 (286 hp): 2255 / 286 ≈ 7.88 kg/hp
- iX1 eDrive20 66.5 kWh: 1865 / 204 ≈ 9.14 kg/hp
The 313 hp xDrive30 is 0.68 kg/hp lighter per horse than the 286 hp twin and 1.94 kg/hp lighter per horse than the eDrive20. Power per litre cannot be calculated: displacement is not measured on all three. “Engine cc”, “engine size”, and “engine capacity” therefore have no number here.
Motor type in the data is Electro for every version. Engine sound, engine bay layout, and engine-number location are not measured.
Performance: 0–100, top speed, what the extra power buys
| Version | 0–100 | Top speed | CO2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 (286 hp) | 5.7 | 180 | 0 |
| iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 (313 hp) | 5.7 | 180 | 0 |
| iX1 eDrive20 66.5 kWh | 8.6 | 170 | 0 |
The 27 hp gap between the two xDrive30 cars does not change the measured sprint or the speed limiter: both are 5.7 s and 180. Extra money, if any, for 313 hp versus 286 hp is not buying a faster 0–100 in this table; it buys 27 hp, 20 kW, a better kg/hp figure, and a published 2580 kg gross.
The eDrive20 is 8.6 − 5.7 = 2.9 s slower to 100 and 180 − 170 = 10 slower at the top. That is the performance cost of 204 hp and FWD versus AWD xDrive30. City, highway, and combined consumption are not measured on all three; there is no mpg column to argue over. CO2 is 0 on all three.
BMW iX1 dimensions, weight, size — what is actually measured
Length, width, height, wheelbase, dimensions in feet or cm, ground clearance, tank, and wheel sizes are not measured. Weight is measured.
| Version | Kerb | Gross | Clearance | Tank | Wheels | Payload (gross − kerb) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 (286 hp) | 2255 | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
| iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 (313 hp) | 2255 | 2580 | not measured | not measured | not measured | 325 |
| iX1 eDrive20 66.5 kWh | 1865 | 2435 | not measured | not measured | not measured | 570 |
The eDrive20 is 2255 − 1865 = 390 kg lighter at the kerb than either xDrive30. Gross: the 313 hp xDrive30 is 2580 − 2435 = 145 kg heavier fully loaded than the eDrive20. Payload where both ends are known: eDrive20 570 kg versus 313 hp xDrive30 325 kg — the lighter FWD car carries 245 kg more between kerb and gross. The 286 hp xDrive30 cannot be compared on payload because gross is not measured.
For “BMW iX1 size” and “BMW iX1 dimensions 2023/2024/2025/2026”: this generation starts 2022-06-01 with stop null; no separate 2025 or 2026 dimension set is in the data. LWB is not a listed version here.
Drive: AWD xDrive30 vs FWD eDrive20
Both xDrive30 cars are AWD. The eDrive20 is FWD. Gearbox is Automatic with 1 speed on all three — no extra ratios to buy. If the requirement is all-wheel drive, the set shrinks to the two iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 listings. If the requirement is the lightest kerb and the largest measured payload, the set is iX1 eDrive20 66.5 kWh.
Generations: nothing later to wait for in this file
1 generation, SUV 5-doors, 3 versions, start 2022-06-01, no end date. There is no second generation in the data to compare restyle against restyle. Choosing “a newer generation” is not an option here; choosing among the three concurrent versions is.
Which BMW iX1 version to choose
iX1 eDrive20 66.5 kWh — 204 hp / 150 kW, 494 Nm, FWD, 8.6 s, 170, kerb 1865, gross 2435, battery name 66.5 kWh. It is the lightest (390 kg under the xDrive30 kerb), the only FWD, the slowest sprint (+2.9 s), 10 lower top speed, and the largest measured payload (570 kg). Take this if kerb weight and payload matter more than AWD and the 5.7 s run.
iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 (286 hp / 210 kW) — AWD, 5.7 s, 180, kerb 2255, gross not measured, battery name 64.7 kWh. Same sprint and top speed as the 313 hp twin, 82 hp above the eDrive20, 60 kW above it. Take this if you need AWD and the 5.7 / 180 pair and do not need a published gross mass.
iX1 64.7 kWh xDrive30 (313 hp / 230 kW) — same AWD, 5.7 s, 180, kerb 2255 as the 286 hp car, plus 27 hp / 20 kW, 7.20 kg/hp versus 7.88, and gross 2580 (payload 325 kg). The extra power does not shorten 0–100 in this dataset. Take this if you want the highest listed output and a complete weight pair, knowing the stopwatch number is identical to the 286 hp xDrive30.
USA / UK / India / Australia / Malaysia / 2025 / 2026 spec sheets: this file does not split markets or model years. The same three names, powers, and weights apply. Range, price, LWB, and engine cc are not measured and are not used as buying arguments here.
