The new BMW X1 series will go on sale in October for the combustion versions, with the all-electric iX1 and plug-in hybrid X1 XDrive25e following in November. If you enjoy the X1’s look and size and live in the United States, you have only one trim option: the X1 xDrive28i combustion model.
BMW’s all-electric alternatives have remained anemic since the quirky i3 EV was withdrawn from the lineup last year, but the iX1 demonstrates that the carmaker is getting back on track with electrification with this new entry-level EV. If you like electric sedans, BMW has you covered with the i4 and the more luxury i7. There’s also the iX and the sportier iX M60 if you want something more like Tesla’s Model X.
