BMW iX1
2024 model year
AWD traction and genuine towing ability make the xDrive30 the practical iX1, but 130kW DC charging is hard to justify at this price.

How the BMW iX1 xDrive30 compares to similar EVs on battery, range, home charging speed and V2X capability.
iX1 xDrive30
BMW CCS
AWD traction and genuine towing ability make the xDrive30 the practical iX1, but 130kW DC charging is hard to justify at this price.
IONIQ 5 Long Range RWD
Hyundai CCS
220kW DC charging and V2L standard at a competitive price
Q4 e-tron 55 e-tron quattro
Audi CCS
AWD VW Group platform rival with broadly similar spec and pricing
ID.4 GTX
Volkswagen CCS
AWD MEB platform with 175kW DC charging for around £3,000 less
No. The xDrive30 has no V2L, V2H, or V2G capability. Bidirectional alternatives in the premium compact SUV segment include the Hyundai Ioniq 5 (V2L standard) and the Kia EV6 (V2L standard).
1,200kg braked trailer. The eDrive20 has no rated towing capacity, making the xDrive30 the only iX1 suitable for drivers who occasionally need to tow a small trailer or caravan.
130kW via CCS, shared with the eDrive20. A 10–80% charge takes around 34 minutes. This peak is considerably lower than the Audi Q4 55 e-tron quattro (135kW) and well below the Hyundai Ioniq 5 Long Range AWD (220kW).
If you need AWD traction in poor weather or the 1,200kg tow rating, yes. Otherwise the eDrive20 gives similar range and identical DC charging for around £4,000 less. Both share the same 64.7kWh battery.
