Three-phase AC charging of up to 22kW is optionally available, which reduces charging time to 3:45 hours. The battery can be charged using direct current with a power of up to 130kW.

The anticipatory thermal management ensures that the temperature of the high-voltage battery is optimised in good time before stopping at a fast-charging station. When the navigation system is active, the battery is automatically pre-conditioned before a planned charging stop. Pre-conditioning the battery can be manually activated and deactivated by the customer at any time.
The new BMW iX1 eDrive20 offers a comprehensive range of standard equipment, including the BMW Maps navigation system, 2-zone automatic air conditioning, the Parking Assistant including Reversing Assist Camera and other innovative digital services.

The BMW Curved Display is the heart of the driver’s cockpit.

The latest BMW iDrive generation features a redesigned start screen with “QuickSelect”.
