With a 64.7kWh battery, this electric SUV can cover a distance of 413 to 439 kilometers (257 to 273 miles), depending on the choice of wheels and tires.
Meanwhile, the BMW iX1 takes less than 30 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent.
Then, this electric SUV has also adopted the “Adaptive M Suspension” feature which uses shock absorbers, thus making the car feel stable on uneven roads.
The plan, BMW will only sell this electric SUV to Europe with an estimated price of around 40,000 to 50,000 euros.
