BMW iX1 Exterior & Interior
The BMW iX1 offers various color options, including Alpine White in a non-metallic finish, as well as metallic paintworks such as Space Silver, Black Sapphire, and Storm Bay. You can choose from different upholstery options, including Veganza Perforated Mocha and Veganza Perforated Oyster.
The iX1 is essentially the electric counterpart of the X1 SUV, sharing a design language that closely resembles that of the X1. It features a long, stretched roofline that extends into a spoiler at the rear, creating a dynamic look. Square wheel arch contours, flat roof rails, and 18-inch M light alloy wheels contribute to its aesthetic appeal. The rear of the iX1 is characterized by sculptural surfaces, horizontal lines that convey strength and solidity, a narrow rear window, a substantial diffuser, and L-shaped LED lights.
Inside the cabin, you'll find a digital BMW Curved Display, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a Harman Kardon HiFi Surround Sound system equipped with 12 speakers. The M Sport leather steering wheel comes with decorative strips, and there's ambient lighting in the instrument panel and front doors, along with pearl chrome accents on the door handles. Additional features include dual-zone automatic climate control, a panoramic sunroof, a power tailgate, and a floating armrest with storage.
